It's a tough time right now for the economy, and I have some sad news. Due to budgetary constraints in the new year, Samadhi & the City is being discontinued.

I have so loved writing this column every week for the last year and a half. And I've also loved hearing your thoughts about my posts and your practices, whether you commented here on the site or sent me personal emails. Together, we've looked at just about every aspect of the local yoga scene, from new yoga studios, movies, and books to exciting events, kirtans, cooking classes, and even the presidential election.

While I am sad that I'll no longer be writing Samadhi & The City, I plan to continue writing about yoga. Check out my Web site to see what I am up to: www.karenmacklin.com.

OM!
