July Yoga Classes
This month I'll be away a lot traveling for my work as Co-Director of Internet Scout, a research center at the UW-Madison. So Jules and Katie will be teaching my classes on Tuesday nights -- Jules will be teaching on the 10th and 17th and the 31st and Katie will be teaching on the 24th. This is a great opportunity to take a class with both these wonderful teachers!

Spring Ahead!
It's warming up in Madison -- and the snow is melting. It's the time of year when you know that you made it through another winter and get to enjoy another lovely Madison spring and summer... which means lakeside activities, farmer's market and lunch outside in the sunshine.
Spring is a great time to energize your yoga practice and try something new. There are lots of great resources out there to experiment with -- you can take out books or a dvd from the public library, try a class with a different instructor or next time you're traveling, try digging around on the web to look for yoga studios at your destination and take a class on the road! A great place to start checking for other instructors or when you're traveling is the Yoga Alliance web site.

Winter, Warmth and Yoga
It's chilly as can be here in Madison this week with the highs this weekend promising to be just above zero. Yikes. It can be tough to practice yoga with a cold body - so here are a few thoughts on making your home practice successful (and safe) when it's chilly.
I'm a big fan of a hot bath or shower before I practice in the winter. Or, if it's an option, practice in front of the fireplace. A small heater can be extremely nice - making your yoga space warmer and more inviting. Dress in layers and remove layers as you need. Keep a wool shawl or blanket and socks handy for your final resting pose. And go slowly at first - it's easy to hurt yourself when your body is not warm enough and you move into a pose too deeply. Which is good advice no matter what the temp :-)
