Yoga Teacher Walks from West Coast to New York

This just for the novelty of it: Dunja Lingwood, 56, of Anacortes, WA, is walking from the far, far west coast to New York on a cause for peace.

According to the article on GoAnacortes.com, "She said “Retirement should mean, not a cessation of activity, but a change of activity with a more complete giving of your life to service.”

"dunja plans to walk 12 miles a day, making her way down Whidbey Island first and eventually getting to the Pacific Coast and Highway 101.

By word of mouth, she has lined up people to stay with in Oak Harbor, Port Townsend, Seattle and other cities in the Northwest."

Be Quiet! UK Yogis Disturb the Neighbours

London's most popular yoga center, TriYoga, disturbs the neighbours with its chanting and drumming. Chief offenders are the lunch time Mommy and Baby classes, and the Prenatal classes. Wooo noisy mamas!!

From the Guardian:
"The complaints focus on a mother and baby yoga session in which the women sing nursery rhymes while stretching their babies' limbs in yoga-inspired movements, and a pregnancy class in which music by George Harrison, Bob Marley and Aretha Franklin is played. Camden council has issued an enforcement notice which could result in a fine."
