Things that make me laugh:

1. The way we all think our form of yoga is the best yoga ever. I am the worst culprit that ever lived. Kundalini rules!

2. The way I'm afraid to go back to an old class, try a new class, go to a friend's class, have a new teacher show up in my class. For god's sake, I'm anxious when I try a new DVD.

3. The way a small part of me fantasizes that the right mat or the right yoga pants might improve my Handstand/Headstand/Crow/Forward Lunge/Camel. No luck so far.

4. The inside voice that says, "I can't do it, I can't do it." That voice has no imagination. She's a one-liner. At least I'm laughing at her now.

5. The way a yoga practice takes 60-90 minutes, but yoga thinking, wondering, and dreaming consumes about 50 percent of my head space some days.

6. The way I can't wait to practice and then can't wait for each pose to end sometimes. Make up your mind, honey.

7. The way I feel. Honestly, I feel fantastic these days, so fantastic that it makes me laugh.

   I'd love to hear your yoga laughs.

Thanks to yoga for the humor. Thanks to my brother Adam, a yogi with a flexible face. Thanks to you for the conversation,
