Apparently my 7 year old nephew has been taught yoga and meditation in school.

I saw him get into meditation posture one day after getting upset. A later asked him what he was doing. He said that he was thinking of a happy time - laying on the grass under a tree. Visualization as a tool at 7 is powerful!

How cool that I happened to google the words Black Yogis!  I have been practicing regularly for 13 months and yoga has changed my life.  I literally run to my yoga studio, InYoga in Valley Village, CA.  I take it all to my mat and I am encouraged about strengthening my practice.  I recently won a yoga challenge at my studio earning me a year of free yoga!  I am beyond excited. Namaste.  Carol Holton, NOHO, CA
