Out-of-the-blue blogosphere, this fellow contacted me Sunday via email after reading my blog which, at the time, was 10-days old. He asked me to contribute to his community blog and wanted to do an online interview with me.

Where do I take yoga classes? After launching my maiden blog last week, I received a number of phone and email queries about all things yoga. I’m glad to jump-start a discussion for anyone wondering if yoga might be a good fit for them; as well as for seasoned practitioners who might like to share their yoga stories.
