Prepare for the Bollywood/Yogi Battle
Fighting words today from Indian yoga guru Bharat Thakur, speaking out against the trend of Bollywood stars releasing yoga DVDs: "As far as learning yoga from celebrities goes, it is like learning acting from me! I would advise against it." If this ends in a Bollywood dance-off, we all win.

Fitness from the Far East
I first turned to belly dancing to mend a broken heart. This actually had a counterproductive effect — after class I would feel all sexy and hip-rolley and realize I had no one at home to try out my awesome moves on. Eventually with time and a rebound or two my sorrow dissipated, but my love of belly dance, and later Bollywood and Bhangra, stayed strong. Since classes are expensive, I've learned to nurture my Belly/Bolly/Bhangra dance love through technology. Here, a list of my favorite Far East Fitness DVDs:

Your Playlists
Anitak's Treadmill Playlist
A couple of weeks ago, Anitak forgot her headphones. "I felt so deflated that I almost went straight home! Treadmill + no music = ultimate boredom." It was particularly painful because she'd just put together a new high-energy playlist. She made it through, but here's the playlist — download it, and you'll see that it would indeed be rough to be cut off from these tunes. Anitak's full liner notes after the jump.
Monsoon Workout
Bollywood's Jane Fonda
Bollywood flicks have drawbacks. Couples never kiss on screen, and the men wear clothes you imagine they found at a Conway store. But they dance! If you're the sort who loved the Slumdog credit sequence nearly as much as the rest of the movie, you must try Sarina Jain's Masala Bhangra workout ASAP.
