Today, I have an interview on a topic that in the past I did not care much about: yoga. In the past I thought yoga was for people that liked to compete to see who is most flexible.  Kind of like guys in the gym, trying to see who can lift more. Over the last two years, my thinking has changed when it relates to yoga and a few weeks back I came across a yoga program. I decided to give the program a go and have been doing it once a week.  It is my Tuesday afternoon ritual.  I thought it would be a good idea to get the author of the program on the phone and do a little interview with her for you.
