		<title>The Yoga of Odissi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I recently returned from Bhubaneswar, India where I was studying and performing Odissi dance and teaching yoga to mostly dancers and musicians.

		<title>Early Morning Yoga</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Consider for a moment the way your body feels as you sit in meditation just after shivasana.

		<title>Winter Health Tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
