With all of the current mudslinging taking place these days on the nighttime reality shows known as the Presidential Debates and 7pm Evening News, it's not a bad time to invoke a little grace. If you feel like you need a little help locating grace at the moment, a new and local yoga apparel company is on a mission to help you find it.

The Mill Valley clothing company is called Zobha (which means "grace" in Sanskrit), and it is piloting a program called Circle of Grace this weekend at Napa yoga hotspot Ubuntu. In line with its mission to create yoga apparel that lends itself to gracefulness, Zobha has selected various yoga teachers from across the country whom they feel also exemplify that quality. Those teachers are part of the Circle of Grace, and will lead workshops in various locations throughout the year. Four of those teachers (including San Francisco's own Stephanie Snyder) will teach the first Circle of Grace workshop this Saturday and Sunday at Ubuntu.

Apart from the 2pm-5pm daily workshops, there will also be an opportunity at an evening reception Saturday night to meet the company's founder and designer, Jamie Hanna, and view the fall collection, which you can also check out online. Another cool thing of note is that for the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the company is donating all the proceeds from any purchase of a pink yoga top to breast cancer research.

Let us know if you make it up to Ubuntu this weekend, and, if not, what kinds of local things you do to cultivate grace in your life. And if you feel like you have a hold on grace, check back in next week when I talk politics with MC Yogi!
