Om

I know I normally write about food. I talk, and think, a lot about food.  However, this blog was always intended to be about the ingredients for a good life ... and good food is only one of them. Equally important is the food for the spirit.

And with that in mind, tonight I went to yoga.

This yoga class was the most exhilarating, cardio-intensive, physically demanding hour in my (limited) yoga experience.  One of the Olympic Club's first "late night" 7pm classes, it was packed with athletes in search of a variation to their routines.  The instructor, Pradeep, guides you through the physical and mental practice of yoga, just as focused on mental acuity as physical agility.

As Pradeep says, "If you are here, be here." I spent an hour of my week practicing yoga and will carry its lessons with me throughout the week until the next session.  Can't wait until next week when I can get me some OM!
