I have not been into an actual Yoga class in over 2 weeks (shame on me!). I have been doing stretches and postures (and Mudras - my new obsession) on my own, but I haven't had the discipline of being in a class in a while. So tonight, my good friend Amy is coming over to give me a private class. I hope she doesn't make fun of me too badly - I am a little out of the loop! :)
She teaches Vinyasa, which will be good for my muscles right now. I had a 3 hour modern dance class on Monday and I am STILL sore from it. Amy, if you are reading this now, please be gentle!

Hurray for Amy!
Yesterday, one of my very good friends, Amy Merli, just got her Yoga Teacher's Certification and I am so proud of her! I wish certification was something I could do, but the way my schedule is right now, I have absolutely no time :( But hopefully Amy will come over and give me an occasional free class hahah!
You may remember Amy from the Yoga Photo Shoot we had here at YogaDirect.com a little while ago:
