They're playin' my song/I know I'm gonna be OK

Some of you know that I am currently teaching yoga to youngin's at Poe Kids College. Its an experience that I am really enjoying and Poe is such a wonderful community that I understand why at least 2 of my friends have parents that intentionally moved into the neighborhood zoned to Poe.

During spring break in high school, I was staying at a friend's house in Manhattan and we found a little cut out of a Houston map. Her dad told us that that it was the Poe school zone and that he had been told that they had to move into it (from NY) in time for my friend to start school.

Although the classes I'm teaching are not formally Kundalini, I still play "Longtime Sun" at the end of every class. At the end of class today, one of the girls said that it was a really pretty song and then another said that it was so sad.

I guess a children's yoga class just attracts precocious children.

In related news, everyone I know loves the new Miley Cirus song Party in the USA.
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok

Although it is Miley, it is just such an inspiring pop song. I love that she gives a shoutout to Britney.

The Hundred Pushup Challenge

The One Hundred pushup challenge is the hottest new trend sweeping the nation (or at least my limited circle of friends and acquaintances).

Today I did the second set of week 3, and had two questions:

1) If I started in the second column and now my max isn't high enough to stay in the second column, do I have to repeat the week or can I just drop down and do the sets in the first (lower) column? Furthermore, if I am doing the sets in first column and week 6 has only a max of 50, how am I supposed to get to 100 two days later?

2) Why is doing 100 pushups at once even something I am working towards?
