Mandy Ingber: Musical Yogi to the Stars
I first encountered Mandy Ingber in an unusually good Self magazine spread getting all bendy with her client Jennifer Aniston. Ingber is a yogi to the stars, with requisite DVD, and at the moment she's on tour (as celebrity yogis will do these days) with Self's multi-city Workout in the Park series. (I don’t mean to be all pluggy, but I’ve been to the Wokout in the Park before, and it’s really kind of this awesome festival of spandex and squatting, and proceeds go toward curing cancer.) Anyway, Mandy was gracious enough to ditch Jennifer for a few minutes to hang with me and answer some questions....
What is it like to be a yoga celebrity? It seems like a dichotomy, doesn't it? It is a total surprise. I was not expecting to become famous for teaching yoga. I used to be an actress, and left that profession to teach, so it's kind of funny that it turned out this way. I guess the pressure is on to be more relaxed! And to stay off of coffee.
More...Day 9 - Self workouts and stuff
Post seder I was so stuffed but finally all the food and wine settled and the guests went home. So I did the Self challenge workout again tonight and added an extra set of crunches - I want abs! I'm kinda looking forward to the biblically imposed Atkins this week, it always makes me eat more veggies.
I still have that issue of Self...huge inspiration and awesome ..." More comments...
