more things yoga can do

a new study in oregon suggests that people suffering from multiple sclerosis benefit from a modified form of iyengar yoga. researchers concluded that after doing yoga for several months, patients felt less fatigue.

the study was performed at oregon's health and science university and reported at a recent neurology conference. (actually ohsu is doing other studies on yoga, such as a recent one on benefits for the elderly and also seems to do a fair number of yoga related conferences and projects).

for those feeling more frivolous, there's a nice article today on a woman who designs yoga mat bags. they are pretty, with indian jacquard fabrics in subtle tones and contrasting but co-ordinating lining.

but maybe she should reconsider the black web handles for some of the more refined fabrics. . .i do like the key ring, however. good feature!

she also has plain khaki bags for guys. interested? look here. she just seems like a positive person, as well. ..
