state of the union: yoga and me
Over the course of the past year, yoga and I have had some really awesome times. There was the daily practice with carefully chosen intentions back in December; this spring saw the one month yoga vs. Sarah Palin challenge; in April I met up with my favorite Holistic Health Junkie for an amazing 90-minute Anusara [...]
the (gratefully) frustrated yogini
A few months ago, I was talking to my sister and, not surprisingly, the conversation turned to yoga. According to my awful memory, the conversation went a little something like this: Me: I found this great yoga podcast I can’t wait to try. I think you’d really like it. Sis: That’s great.

gluten frustrations
Recently I wrote a CSL guest post about staying healthy while traveling. For me, part of that means avoiding gluten.

We popped on Expedia, found some reasonably priced flights with just one connection, entered our boss’s credit card information, and hit [...]
s.n.a.f.u.
Ah yes. Twelve hours until departure. It’s finally here. I went online to check in and try to request a gluten free meal for the flight to Seoul, but couldn’t find my confirmation number. Huh. Clicked on a few links, found the page from the travel agent, and there, in bold red: flights canceled. HUH? [...]
