From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
Sometime in yoga's recent history, a gender shift occurred. Yoga, which has been traditionally practiced exclusively by men, began to be dominated by women. Today, an average yoga class will have more female than male students. In the United States, your yoga teacher is also more likely to be female, although there are a great number of prominent male teachers, including the founders of some of yoga's most popular contemporary styles.

Pose of the Week - Locust Pose - Shalabasana
Here's what I've learned about locust pose: before you even try to come up, take a second to think about anchoring your pelvis to the floor. I always heard teachers say this and I had no idea what they were talking about, but I kept hearing it and one day it started to make sense. This ever-evolving sense of how to adjust our bodies in small ways is one of my favorite things about yoga.
