HUGO'S ADOPTION BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow is Hugo's adoption birthday - give or take a few days!!  I adopted him two years ago from the ASPCA on Easter Sunday.  I know Easter doesn't fall on the same day each year but it is symbolic.  It is supposed to be 75 degrees tomorrow so my sister and I are taking him for a nice walk in Central Park - if you're in the area tomorrow - keep your eye out for him!!!

DEER STOP YOGA

So I have been going to a new yoga studio that one of my yoga teachers started in her loft called Deer Stop Yoga in Williamsburgh Brooklyn. It is a warm inviting studio that always makes me feel happy to be there. Julia who runs this studio is a gentle soul who teaches a flowing yoga class that leaves you feeling so at ease. This is not to say that it is not tough - she does put you through the mill, but she is so graceful that you don't realize it at first. She has a mascot Oliver her hairless cat that sometimes has you laughing at his antics - he is a welcoming distraction to plank pose. If you are looking for a great Asana practice in a bright, airy, welcoming studio - check out Deer Stop at http://www.thisiswherethedeerstop.org/
