Need something to do today during May Day today’s boycott, or the rest of the week? Through Friday local yoga studios will be promoting themselves and yoga through DC Yoga Week, a special where you can attend a class for $5. I was in the best shape of my life – as weak a statement as that really is – when I was a regular yoga practitioner, and I miss it. Unfortunately the selection out here in the sticks is pretty weak, so I’m back to a traditional gym.
If you’ve somehow still got an impression in your head of yoga being a discipline that involves sitting on a floor calmly and humming, go check it out. You might be surprised how rigorous a workout it can be.
