you know, when i want to keep up with these peripatetic yoga teachers, i often just slap together quickie web pages for 'em. . .

this allows me to have an idea of their schedule, and that way i can wake up, say "i feel like a class with teacher x," and just find out where they are. i've already made a page for famed punk yogi j. brown.

and recently i made a similiar page for "mad dog" yogini alma largey. i still need to get her cellphone number, but otherwise it's good to go. alma is a tiny little wisp with platinum hair. she can also probably lift a mini cooper (flash required), all 2,524 lbs. of it.

what's cool about alma is her laid-back intensity. in her soft little voice she'll say, "ok, consider playing with handstand away from the wall. just see how that feels. it's a new outlook, you know?" meanwhile, as she's speaking, she will have gently piked up into a handstand in the center of the room, crossing her legs into half-lotus. "the key is to drive down through your arms like a mad dog," she'll continue in her mild way. still inverted, she raises her head to gaze at the class with her piercing hope-diamond-blue eyes. "it's interesting."

well, yeah! if only we all could likewise hang out in handstand all day, chatting up a storm. . .alma rocks. take her class nearest you now.
