I have found it to be an excellent resource not only for my personal practice, but also for my teaching and the practices of fellow students.  The text is simply written and the images are numerous and easy to understand.  There is a strong emphasis on coming in and out of postures, linking each breath with a repeated movement.  I find this approach to be most therapeutic for both the body and the ever-active mind.  It helps to trump and quiet the internal barrage of thoughts that come in and out of our New York heads during yoga.  If anyone has any particular things they’d like to check out, let me know and I’ll lend you the book (provided you’re in Brooklyn :) .

They are American Apparel 2001 design, very comfy, and complete with our beautiful logo and for only $20!  If you buy these shirts plain, they will cost you almost the same amount! So it’s a no-brainer, come and get one (or few) for yourself, your friends and family while we still have them.

We’ll have them at the party this Friday and at our studio. They were made in LA California and printed locally in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  We try to stay local to diminish our carbon footprint and support our local businesses and community.
