Social Workout

Yoga Wisdom   Two saturdays ago I was in a super crammed class at Virayoga with Elena. She has quite the following. I would say it was more crowded than a YTTP class and those things are "free".

Hanumanasana with Susanna   The late show at Virayoga with Susanna Rubin. "It's hanuman month!" she announced to us all. A month of splits and hip openers. "I guarantee you're hips will be open if you come this month."  It was fun, and she told us all about Hanuman, the buff hindu monkey god of wind. He rides the wind with legs outstretched and arms raised — hence his pose.

First Day Back at Vira   It had been a long time, and my body felt then worse even than it feels now. Vira was quiet -- just four of us, and Geoffrey Devaul turned out to be very good, despite at first seeming unlikely. He's a big guy, with a baby face; you might imagine him at an artsy Southern frat if such a thing exists.
