I read your article "Top Yogi"
In it you describe "The Wachy World of Yoga Competition" However, that's the beauty of Yoga - it can mean you sit around and chant all day and/ or twist like a pretzel for the sake of twisting and/or you express yourself by doing asanas in a competition setting not to compete with others, but with yourself. Yoga is all this things and more.

Hello and thank you for that "inner" side look on the leading edge of yoga. It seems that my teaching process for chair yoga is the antithesis of Bikram's philosophy. The students and I have so much fun in our creative transferring of life's activities to the chair. By the way, I believe "cajones" may fit as well as "chutzbah". TTFN, Howie

Loved the article. Can't wait to learn more about the book...

just so you know: when i do a search for 'alternadad' or 'pollack' at the parents.com site, nothing shows up. that's why i have to keep coming back to this black page to get the link to your daddy posts.

Yeah, don't get me started.

ok - i won't. just don't ditch this page or i'll lose out on feeling like i'm not the only dad with issues.

Just finished reading some of your very fine works, and I had a couple of questions. Did you ever make it back to Prince's Hot Chicken Shack? Did you try the Hot Chicken? Did you fly up to the XHot?
Being a native Nashvillian as well as a Prince's Hot Chicken Shack fan, was just curious if you were able to complete your mission!

I wrote about that in my now-defunct Epicurious blog...I haven't actually been back to Nashville since then, but I will visit Prince's every chance I get. Maybe I'll even try the xhot next time. Buy Zantac stock now!

Hi neal, thanks for the great Top Yogi article. I was trained by Bikram before all the hooplah and McBikram franchising.
I own a yoga studio: Yogani Studios in Tampa Florida and I teach all styles of yoga. As Bikram and I have discussed over the years: I think yoga is yoga is yoga.
The Bikram practice is what opened the world of yoga for me. I honor it greatly because of that. The secret he gave me was it wasn't about his brash mannerisms, terrible crtiques of his students etc, it was about me diving deep into my own breath and lovingly handling what I find.
I have taken that and expanded our wold of yoga to the Exalted Warrior Foundation: www.exaltedwarrior.com
We have our yoga programs for wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, the James Haley VA in Tampa, FL and at the Brooklyn Va.
The 5,000 year old practice does wonders, as you know, for connecting the soldiers to themselves, their caregivers and families.
Yoga brings such gifts to all who find it.
thank you for bringing more awareness.
Om Shanti,
Annie

Podrías por favor dedicarle mas tiempo a los jodidos lectores y escribir artículos en español o castellano como mierda te guste. Simplemente me jode intentar entender en inglés. Resulta que tu endiablado libro que me comió el coco si estaba en inglés.
Realmente para ser un comentario rabioso es un poco patético, que se le va hacer.
Ya que estamos podrías poner a buzcheto a cantar "ne me quite pas" pero sería darle demasiado...
Mierda!
