		<description><![CDATA[As I start 2010 I find myself turning more and more to kundalini yoga in my home practice, with some hatha yoga as my warm-up. I do the hatha yoga to stretch and tone, and the kundalini yoga kicks it up a notch with the powerful breath and meditation techniques. Where kundalini yoga kicks hatha&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually got into a decent night-time yoga routine before bed while I was visiting family for the holidays. I live on the West Coast; they live on the East Coast. I was always up after everyone else went to bed. I find that doing some gentle hatha yoga before bed calms my mind down [...]]]></description>

Then I took a trip to Mexico for a weekend, came back with a touch of Montezuma, Halloween hit, then the election, and I&#8217;ve been trying to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My hamstrings have been tight all my life. When I first started doing yoga in my twenties I could not touch my toes. I never thought I would get to the point where I might see my head near my knee. Well, I was doing a standing forward fold last night before bedtime. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m obviously not a Bikram gal. It&#8217;s been in the 90s here this past week and I have no air conditioning. Why? Because normally the weather is a lovely, balmy 70s during the summer in my part of town. But it&#8217;s been getting hotter lately (global warming?)&#8230;too hot. Some nights it&#8217;s stayed in the 80s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just started learning the Bikram series at home. Living in Los Angeles, I&#8217;d actually love to experience the bombastic personality Bikram in person (his school is a short drive away), but I can&#8217;t. Hot yoga is counterindicated for my chronic fatigue syndrome. (CFS sufferers have a tendency towards orthostatic hypotension, which means we have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK&#8230;first off, I take absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY for your use of the following method. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! As I&#8217;ve stated in an earlier blog post on Bikram, I just can&#8217;t see how I&#8217;d enjoy an overheated room while doing yoga. I&#8217;ve been taking some classes in 90 degree weather recently and I [...]]]></description>

I caught that nasty cold that&#8217;s been going around, and my yoga practice in the last week and a half has been practically zilch. I&#8217;ll be aching at the end of the weekend. Well, at least the training will force [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Took a class at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center last night. I guess Sivananda Yoga is not considered trendy or flashy these days, being &#8220;classical yoga&#8221; and all that, but still, I wonder why more people don&#8217;t take the classes there. With a $35/year membership, drop-in classes are only $10. This is insanely cheap for [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve already studied with Shiva Rea; last night I ventured bravely out to Hollywood for a Full Moon Yoga class with Gurmukh at Golden Bridge. [...]]]></description>
