I'm worried. I'm pacing around washing my hands every 2 minutes, and wiping myself down with antibacterial gel (that's anti-*microbial* to you Perl if you're reading)...Mr. Yogagirl is sick AGAIN.  He's got the red sore throat and green snot from h

For some background. I work in a neuroscience lab. It's not exactly top secret but if I told you what went on here on a daily basis I'd have to kill you all. (kidding) We study the cerebellum. Rocket science it is not, but someday (oh I don't know ma

well the water came back on around 8am. No excuse but to take a shower, get ready for work, say "bye" to Kipper and head out the door. All's well in Yogagirl land again...except......Last night after yoga class one of my long time students

I've got my new teaching schedule all squared away for September. So far it looks like the Medical School gym here at work will be staying open until November (despite everything you read around the building saying they are closing on August 31st). I

Our weekend trip took it out of me. Not physically... but mentally and emotionally...and not really until we got home and had to experience the "fall out" of the failed expectations of our visit. Dealing with family "baggage" is n

I'm still not human after the red eye flight back from Oregon early monday morning. Overslept yesterday afternoon and *just about* missed getting to 5:30pm yoga class on time. But before I head off for work here's a brief weekend wrap-up:Life in Oreg

last night ranks up there in the top 5 worst class experiences EVER. First of all I was there to sub pilates, and as you know that's not my favorite format to teach. I will usually do some pilates stuff but supplement the hour mostly with yoga poses.

so I had the bright idea of looking into the Yogafit prenatal training that is back to back with the seniors training that is coming up in Dallas 2 weekends from now. I need these workshops if I want to continue on my path of getting all of my Yogaf

well I survived the brother in law visit virtually unscathed..although the guy can certainly be an annoying Mr. Jerky Pants. Everything in the house was commented on, how much did you spend on that, why did you buy this, why don't you get a real dog,

I taught my final water yoga class last night, and not a moment too soon. The heat index here in Houston was over 105 yesterday and by 6:30pm when the class started, it was still near 99 degrees outside with absolutely no breeze to speak of.  Unfort
