A number of friends have encouraged me to keep looking, and as I did so, the germ of an idea took root in my mind.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why not do the smorgasbord &#8211; tons of yoga, lots of teachers &#8211; and write up my impressions and observations of every class? Maybe that will help quantify the Om, render it less elusive &#8211; and get me writing in this blog again.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I bet most stuff on yoga is written by people who are actually competent at it. I can write about the agony of downward dog from the perspective of someone with barely functional hamstrings!\u00a0 I&#8217;m very excited. Now the only question is when exactly to sign up so I can get the most bang for my buck.
