Both classes are relaxing and peaceful. They are quite the contrast from what Greek theatres in the 4th and 5th century were. The two yoga classes are also far from being violent just like the Roman theatres were throughout the 1st-3rd BCE. In both classes we are a community and can be seen as a mass, as we are a class who synchronizes our breaths and movements together through the agent and opinion leader, who is also known as the instructor.

The founder of Unnata Aerial Yoga describes how the hammock can be helpful when getting into the one-legged king pigeon pose by the way it assists in lengthening the spine…

to back it up. In addition, “yogi culture” has little to no research surrounding it. And this research is perhaps even more important, as it determines willingness for students to continue a yoga practice and continue treatment, assuming their treatment includes yoga. Ultimately, I would love to use a local yoga studio as my field site, specifically one called Lila Yoga, supposedly the best in the area. Here, I could observe yoga and meditation classes. I could look for differences in one’s…

The two most known athletes that called the Hill home were baseball legends Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola. They were neighbors who famously grew up together playing ball in field which now called Berra Park, the park of the Hill by coincidence named after Louis Berra who had no relations to Yogi Berra. The street that Yogi Berra’s house lays on is now known as “Hall of Fame Place”. His house is on the next block of my street, starting at 5 am that morning people started flocking to the Hill to…

Number 8 Is Retired Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra, the baseball Hall of Fame catcher, died Tuesday of natural causes at the age of 90. He was known by many people because of his memorable sayings.

It’s too crowded.” But, some of the “Yogi-isms” continue to ring true like, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” What should be remembered is that Yogi…

If you're a 6-foot tall point guard, opportunities for success in the NBA are limited. Most NBA executives think using a high draft pick on a player of short stature is a losing proposition.

He did very well at the 2016 Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 8.8 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in four games with the…
