Kaitlin Quistgaard, Blogger
Yoga Journal's deputy editor, Kaitlin Quistgaard, first stepped onto a yoga mat more than two decades ago and has been enjoying Triangle Pose ever since. Don't ask to see her Downward Facing Dog, though--a shoulder injury (compliments of an ill-timed maneuver on the flying trapeze) has all but eliminated that "resting pose" from her repertoire. Among her favorite memories is a taxi ride through the eerily deserted streets of Buenos Aires--the whole city had shut down as everyone watched a crucial World Cup match; she was headed to an Iyengar Yoga class packed with yoginis who preferred forward-bending to futbol.
Kaitlin lives in Sebastopol, California with her husband and daughter, a herd of deer, a flock of wild turkeys, and a bountiful organic vegetable garden. Before joining Yoga Journal, she was an editor at Salon.com. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Time, Wired, the Sunday Times, and other publications.
