bikram, a new home, and event update

in crucial news: this june 28-30 date is now firmly set for the scaa e-membership event. here's the agenda for the saturday portion in more detail:

at dallis coffee in queens, folks will have a hand at blending and roasting coffees on a diedrich drum roaster, cup their creations around the stone table, pull espresso shots on the faema e61 legend, and generally make themselves giddy with excitement over the commercial side of coffee.

you should plan to arrive at dallis by 10am and leave for the city by 12 noon, where we will tour coffee shops. we'll be at higher grounds from 12:30 to 1:30pm and at kudo cafe from 1:45 to 3:00 or so. if the group wants to hang after that, cool.

more on the sunday and monday events as it gets worked out.

note we only have space for 10-20 people. please email me for a reservation by friday, june 20 for this june 28th event.

non-emembers will be asked for a nominal US$10 fee. please reserve soon: already 4 spaces have been taken! if you wait until the last minute you will be frozen out!

also, i just don't know how to feel about bikram's antics any more. suing studios who teach his series but don't pay him for it appears unseemly, no doubt.

and yet his style is among the most injurious in all of yoga. so perhaps it is a better form of safety and "quality control" to do your so-called hot yoga only at certified bikram studios, where presumably the teachers have really been instructed in his style.

i might feel better about this if bikram's teacher training were more in-depth. . .

finally, we here at bread coffee chocolate yoga have been offered a better home! and we intend to take it! i will be moving the site in a few weeks, but will leave the older archives here so as not to break links from google and the search engines.

dear readers, you'll have plenty of notice, no matter what happens. . .
