Good deeds: Yoga

Have you ever thought of yoga as a privilege?

How many of you have thought of yoga as a privilege? Let me rephrase: how many women out there have thought of yoga as a privilege?

The highlight reel

  • Oh Linsanity, we hardly knew ye. Mere weeks after he catapulted to superstardom, Jeremy Lin is now out for at least six weeks after having surgery on his injured leg.

The art of gay flirting
