“It took me the longest time to try yoga. You see, I had this vision of people that do yoga as some elitist group of enlightened ones who would never welcome me and all my unbridled energy, along with a few bad habits, as well!   Plus, I figured all you did in a yoga class was sit in a twisted position with your thumb and forefinger pressed together and hum aloud.  Oh, and a naptime at the end!

It was about 10 years ago.  I was the director of counseling for a school system, working on a doctorate, raising two children solo, and squeezing in kickboxing classes four times a week. Sleeping and eating were luxuries afforded sparingly.  At the urging of a friend, who probably knew I was a train wreck waiting to happen, I went to my very first class.

 And from that moment on, yoga completely destroyed life as I knew."

i asked around, and it seems i'm not the only one who believes yoga is the great transformer.  here's what i learned hanging around down dog yoga studio for an afternoon.
