More Yoga for Athletes in NYC

I had a blast at the New York Marathon—not just during the race itself, but for the whole long weekend. There's a full report at my site, mostly pictorial. Marvel at Joan Benoit Samuelson, the bunny-head runner, and the crowds! Thrill as I pose pretentiously in front of banners! Sigh at the cuteness of my children in Halloween costumes! Find it here.


My workshop at the beautiful Om Factory space went very well. I led the group through eight restorative postures, where they were able to focus on form and breath to prepare for running the race the next day. I was delighted to see my student Emilie Smith there, a reunion after our weekend at Kripalu this February. She's teaching a workshop for athletes at the Reebok Sports Club near Lincoln Center on November 14. The flier's below. Please visit her—she's a lovely person with great energy.

Sage, great race report! You're already in so it doesn't matter, but the BAA will extend a :59 second grace period for qualification. So your 3:45:36 at NYC would actually still get you in. You just have to write a letter. :-)

Cheers,
