<p>I spent 25 minutes on the stair machine over my lunch break.  bleah. I'd rather have been running.</p>

<p>Nope. Anusara. We worked on handstands and <a href="http://www.swaha.ca/images/yoga%20photos/yoga-eka-pada-koundinyasana.jpg" target="_blank">this pose</a> today. I hadn't done any arm balances in a while so it was rather challenging.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran around the track at varying speed tonight in the pouring rain, prolly 4.25 miles total with the walking, so another 17 points for Team Two.<br>

<p>Randy, are you being facetious or do you really want to know?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Short answer, regardless of what you say to the above, is that it's all about alignment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not-so-short answer (but hopefully just as succinct) is that a yoga pose is practiced from the inside out. As opposed to just making shapes with the body, i.e. Just Standing There and Just Laying There. Attitude+Action+Alignment are what make up a yoga pose, even when it looks like nothing's going on on the outside.</p>

<p>Well thank you! You do know I'm a yoga teacher, right? I don't teach anymore... but I guess I still know my stuff. <br>
