The woman who taught me everything I know.

Brief Reviews Of My Yoga Instructors - "I was not-so-covertly recording audio of the session, and at one point in the class, she confiscated my mp3 player, mistaking it for a pager, and gave me a brief lecture on the evils of the 'outside world'."


The "Bitch Please!" Moment - "Our bodies remember skirmishes that haven't been fought in weeks or months, and still coil themselves to spring into battle. Yoga is definitely helpful in unwinding that tendency - I've thought to myself on more than one occasion, this is how my body felt when I was a kid."


Purpose and Intention - "The instructor usually recruits some incredibly limber chick wearing Hard Tail pants to demo a pose, which is an arrangement I much prefer, quite frankly."


Assorted Thoughts On Life And Happiness And Everything, Part I - "It was time, she informed me, to learn how to do a handstand. Let me clarify that: A MOTHERFUCKING HANDSTAND."


Graduation Day - "I haven't had a teacher be this proud of me since grade school."


How To Accomplish The Impossible - "You know I've gotten good at something when the smack talk begins. I'm probably the only yoga student on earth that likes to talk shit to his instructor."


My Yoga Instructor Leaves - "This woman is so strong, she could end my life right now, if she wanted to. That is so hot."
