in This Week in Yoga, YD News

Yes. And if you think horse asana and Lady Gaga’s underwear mentioned in the same sentence is weird, you obviously haven’t been to any of her concerts!

Oh, we kid the Gag and equiyogis. Seriously though, what a funky week for celebriyogi news, even Mr. Ed is taking part. We just hope they’ll consider joining in on our new Stop, Meditate & Listen: 365 Hour Challenge.

What does it take to make you stop and pause? Did we just hear you say horse asana?

Have a loverly weekend!
