Athleta Yoga Jeans: Cool or Not?
Sporty and causal clothes retailer Athleta usually hits the fashion mark, but I am not sure about the Bettona Bermuda, now $35 marked down from $54.

You Asked: Is Morning the Best Time to Do Yoga?
Dear Fit,
The holidays are fast approaching, and I wish I loved this time of year but I'm already stressed out about hosting Thanksgiving dinner, what to get for my picky in-laws, and dealing with traveling. I've heard yoga can help people relax, so I wanted to give it a try. A friend of mine says that she does a short session in the morning every day, including sun salutations (whatever those are), and a sequence of standing and seated yoga poses.
What Time of Day Do You Prefer Practicing Yoga?
Some days I love to practice in the morning, but mostly I prefer practicing in the evening, after my body has had a chance to warm up from moving around all day. What about you?
Earling morning
Late morning
Afternoon
Early evening

I don't have a preference.
Stress Be Gone!

Considering Bikram Yoga
I'm "Yoging" Ashtanga for three and a half years now, and thinking on trying Bikram... but I'm really scared! a friend of mine told me it is totally different and demands a lot..Yoga means "Union" (of mind, body, spirit)
I know most people do yoga to relax and tone their body, and that is wonderful just of itself. But yoga actually means a "union" of mind, body, and spirit. So besides the health and physical benifits, does anyone also get into the spiritual aspect of yoga? Or the meditative compont of clearing your mind of thought?If you incorporate the spiritual diminsion into your yoga, or would like to talk about that part of the total yoga experience, I would enjoy hear from you.
Are You a Yogi Who Also Runs?
Yoga and running are complementary, in my opinion. So tell me . .
