I make soup a lot. Probably because it is a good way to use a lot of veggies that I have hanging around in the fridge. I make all different kinds based on what I have but this is a base recipe I use a lot and works with many different combinations. Cream of Whatever […]
Why So Particular?
We, at O2 Yoga, are known for being pretty particular about certain things like alignment of feet, knees, wrists and shoulders, use of breath, and specific set up and entrance to postures. It may seem overdone at times are at least too much to take in. When people first come to O2, they often start […]

Why a Vegan Challenge?
How do I benefit from getting people to take the vegan challenge??? I don’t. So why the hell do it? Because I think that it makes someone’s lot better. Am I hoping to change people’s minds about what it means to be vegan? Damn right, at least in the sense that I really believe in […]
