It’s official: I bought yoga teacher insurance today…JBE NYC Geek Yoga in 2012 is one step closer to reality! 8 classes left to finish the certification I started in Oct. 2010. I keep reminding myself that I *can* do this and that everyone starts somewhere (sometimes it’s easy to forget being surrounded by droves of crazy-amazing teachers in NYC). This whole process reminds me...

Love this list! Some personal favorites:
50. Sending your laundry out for someone else to wash and dry it is not only convenient, it’s just good business. Especially since you will probably never own a washer and dryer. Which means you never have to feel guilty about not doing your own laundry. Next.

On Saturday, August 6 2011, I packed my yoga mat and coconut water and spent my day practicing with hundreds of dedicated Yogis on Governor’s Island.
