Reflections…the worst yogi in the world goes on another yoga retreat… I went on another yoga retreat. This one was special. My friend Claudia Altucher gave it, calling it “Portable Yoga.” Claudia promised to give a thousand yoga tools to take away. I’m loyal. I would’ve gone even if she called it “You’ll Never Attain Enlightenment,” or “Yogis Study for 1000 Years, What Makes You Think You…
Moms Can Detail Cars, Too!
I may be a girl, but I know my cars. And it’s time to detail this one. I’m going to a yoga retreat today. I have to go on retreat because it’s the only time I can avoid being jumped on while I practice yoga. It’s bad karma to go on a yoga retreat with a car filled with…

Good Yogi, Bad Yogi
I’m tying myself in knots again. It’s fun. After my yoga retreat, I tried to practice yoga daily, then lost focus–I forgot the moves. So, I started watching yoga videos.
