Happy holiday weekend! Special thanks to everyone who practiced with me yesterday at The Yoga Room in Astoria. It was great seeing many familiar faces and some new friends. Breathing, moving, sweating and smiling… it was a great Saturday. On Tuesday, May 27th, I'll be at Earth Yoga, leading a Hot Power Vinyasa class from 8-9 pm. Ohh... they have this: Not bad, huh? Seven days... $39 for unlimited classes, which includes free mat/towel rental during that week. If you missed me this Saturday at The Yoga Room, I'll be there next weekend, May 31st, at 3:30 PM, leading their 75-minute Community Class. Yup... only $10. It's sunny out... enjoy the weather and the rest of your Holiday weekend. -Vic

Today is the final day of Yoga Journal: LIVE! If you want to inform yourself about new yoga related products, retreats and see vendors showcasing the latest in anything and everything yoga... check out the marketplace, located at the Hilton on 6th avenue. Did I buy anything? Nah! Did I get myself some schwag? Yup! Passes to free classes around the city are worth the visit alone. Enjoy your Sunday. Extra, extra: April is Occupational Therapy month! As a practitioner, I've worked in hospitals with babies and in adult-rehabilitation, pre-schools, nursing homes and psychiatric clinics. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a client reach their capacity and meet their goals - to function at their most independent and highest potential. The same feelings apply when teaching and practicing Yoga. Breaking through real or perceived barriers. Want to know what OTs do and how we do it? The 'American Occupational Therapy Association' states, "As an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant, you are part of a vitally important profession that helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. Your holistic and customized approach to evaluations, interventions, and outcomes help a child with disabilities participate in school and in social situations, assist a person recovering from injuries to regain skills, aid an older adult to stay as independent as possible, and offer the specialized support and services to people of all ages and in all circumstances that only occupational therapy can provide." Occupational Therapy Month started in 1980 to correspond with AOTA's Annual Conference & Expo. Want to know more about Occupational Therapy? Click here! Oh yeaaaah ... business cards are in the house! I just got my shipment of rounded mini-business cards from the fine people at MOO. So, guess who'll be plastering these all over the city? HA. Thanks to my home-girl, and one of the best yoga instructors I know, Dina Ivas, for the inspiration. When I saw her cards, the quality and novelty of them, it convinced me to go with MOO.
