November 26, 2009: Five Tips for a Happy Thanksgiving

Food and family, yay! Read all about it in this weeks column.

November 19, 2009: The keyboard is mightier than the sword

Ryan's mom gave me the best advice when it came to getting over the whole getting fired saga. She said, "Let it go, Louis." 

What she doesn't realize is I am a neurotic Jewish girl and will likely obsess about this for quite some time. It's like a bad breakup. Getting dumped by the hot, mean guy. Except it's a hot studio, not a guy, actually it's a woman but that's all beside the point. I feel rejected and left out. And I miss yoga every single day.

Hopefully this is the last column I'll write about it.

November 12, 2009: Return of the high shoulders after getting the 'heave ho'

When there's nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile. And as always, people are always the happiest with my writing when adversity breathes life and passion into my writing and into this column.

November 5, 2009: Weighing in on a never ending battle

Can you believe it? This column got me fired from my job at Arjuna Yoga. Caroline Hartrich, my boss, felt that it somehow insinuated that doing yoga didn't help me lose weight. She not only fired me, she told me she didn't want me in the studio anymore and would not let me practice. Ah, the power of the written word. If you have to explain it, you've already failed. 

Bikram says, "Don't let anyone steal your peace away from you." But what if they take your yoga away from you? What are you supposed to do then?

Oh well. You can still come take my class ... I'll be teaching at Jean Robert's Gym.

October 29, 2009: The Nothing Notebook really does last forever

The women liked this column but the men didn't get it. I had fun rereading my old diaries, even if it was a horrifying glimpse into the fact that I haven't changed much at all since age 10. And saving gum I had in my mouth when I kissed a boy? That's just gross.
