Yoga after the Olympics

With the London Olympics recently over I was interested in all the talk about Yoga maybe becoming an Olympic sport sometime in the future. There is a lot of chatter on the subject on the web but in the end in my view Yoga just shouldn't become a competitive sport. It kind of defeats the whole point.

The only positive reason that I can think of to make Yoga an Olympic sport in the future is to give India a chance to improve its medal count. How a country of over 1 billion people that covers a whole continent can come away from London with only 6 medals is as strange as synchronized swimming still remaining an Olympic event, but that is for another day....

Celebrity Yoga Watch Jennifer Aniston

While reading up on the amazing Kate Beckinsdale recently and how she stays fit practicing Yoga 5 times per week I came across “Yogalosophy” another practitioner of this is Jennifer Aniston.

Yogalosophy is a daily Yoga practice invented by Yoga instructer and former actress Mandy Ingber. She had a few parts in TV shows like “Cheers” and the TV spin off of “Dirty Dancing” but seems to have found her true vocation in teaching Yoga to LA’s rich & famous movie stars.

Celebrity Yoga Watch Alec Baldwin

Celebrity Yoga watch Alec Baldwin

Congratulations to Alec Baldwin and the new Mrs. Baldwin, Yoga Instructor Hilaria Thomas, who tied the knot in New York last month.

It wasn’t long ago that Alec was thrown off an American Airlines plane at LAX for refusing to turn off his phone. He got in to a huge argument with the crew and threw his papers to the floor, then stomped off to the bathroom.

Sounds like Hilaria (whose name means happy in Spanish) can bring more than a little sunshine and stress relief to the sometimes grumpy 30 Rock star.

Namaste,

Kate loves Yoga!

I was reading this week that I have far more in common with actress Kate Beckinsdale star of the current hit movie “Total Recall” than I realized!

Kate practices Yoga 5 times per week.

Her favorite pose is “Savasana”

Her daughter Lily Sheen does back flips and splits all the time.

I just need to lose a few extra pounds now and I could suit up in leather and fight her for her next big role….

Namaste,
Down Dog

Welcome to DownDog Boutique!

Welcome to Down Dog Boutique!

The only destination you will ever need for great quality stylish yoga clothing & accessories.

Have you ever been at a Yoga class and looked around at the person on the next mat and wondered where they got that great top or pants but were too afraid to ask?

Yes, me too…..

Over the past couple of years there have been some fantastic yoga wear manufacturers bringing their styles to market but I always found it hard to find the kind of clothes, mats and accessories that I wanted to buy in one place.

That was when I decided to open my own boutique and make it my yoga inspired mission in life to seek out the very best quality (but still affordable) yoga styles.

I love my Yoga practice (I try and practice at least 4 times per week) and having the right clothes, mat and accessories makes my practice complete.

I have had great fun finding & bringing this collection of Yoga products together.  If you like what you see, please share my site with your friends via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or any of the other great sharing tools listed at the top of the page.
