    this is what you’re into right? that is great…the founder looks amazing for a guy in his 60s…doing the workout in that heat must be killer…drink lots of coconut water.. :-)

    Yes, I can’t believe he is in his 60’s, he’s bouncing around like he’s in his 20’s. I would love to be like that when I am in my 60’s… unfortunately I started Yoga about 30 years after he did and not even sure how long I can stick with the torture chamber…:~)

    By the way, what is this thing about Coconut water and Yoga? I am just hearing about it… I have to look it up…

    Well, I can drink coconut water day and night if I could. I love the stuff. I just found a supermarket near my work where I can get fresh coconut water from coconuts. They even chop off the top for you. You’d think we are in the tropics…

    Yoga! I have been wanting to do it for three years now…looks like 2009 may be the year for it. The Bikram Yoga sounds torturous though…I think I will go for something simpler first. How are you liking it, David?

    Chaun, I like it a lot. It is very difficult, I think… but perhaps the rewards are greater. I am not familiar with other yoga practices so I cannot compare. I am sure any Yoga you do would be beneficial.

    Ann, I just tasted ZICO, it’s pretty good.

    Yep, zico is good…needs to be served chilled for best taste…they offer some hatha yoga at the isha ashram near here, I may try it one of these weekends…it is residential program over a few days…
