After attending my first "Green Drinks" night--networking for the eco set--I sat on the train thumbing through a magazine I've read only a couple of times, New York Yoga Magazine.

It's one of those free newsprint publications mostly filled with articles by the same people who advertise in the magazine. Some decent event and studio listings, though, plus a silly syndicated humor column I've long appreciated by "Swami Beyondananda," and a helpful article or two. But tonight I stumbled upon something novel--a yoga crossword puzzle. 1. down is "Tortoise pose," 3. across--"A knot in the body or mind that blocks the free flow of energy or prana and distorts our view of reality."

It's a cool way to brush up on your Sanskrit and yoga trivia. And even though I'm a crossword junkie, this one is actually pretty hard since it doesn't rely on old vowely standbys like Brian Eno and NAFTA for its answers.

You can download it here: nyyogamagazine.com when you click pages 26 -40.

It's also sort of timely to be talking about this, as just a couple of weeks ago, NYC hosted the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, a totally insane exercise in speed solving (Bikram for your brain?) covered really well by NPR here.

Let me know what you think of the yoga crossword--and how fast you solve it.
