Master Baptiste Certified Teacher, Gregor Singleton, returning for his annual Midwest Power Yoga visit!



Gregor is so excited about his weekend with us, July 18 and 19 that his feet still haven't touched the ground.

These pictures were taken at Feathered Pipe Ranch in Montana, where Deb Sampson and Jan Marnocha completed their Level 2 Teacher Training with Baron in June 2008.

You may have noticed the video camera in some of their classes. Deb and Jan have completed their final phase of their Baptiste certification and their applications are in the mail. Well done!

Moses Master Class and "I Love Yoga"










We had a wonderful visit with Moses creating an environment to share our love of yoga practice and together nurturing the divine light within. The practice was quite "juicy" and very powerful with the backdrop of rain and thunder. Don't forget the shopping! See our group photo wearing our new "I Love Yoga" clothes.

Thank You! Moses for a beautiful night!

We can't wait for the Yoga Bus Tour!!!

Preview of Debbie Williamson at Salon CTI on Fox 11 Monday Morning Makeover


The Yoga Makeover:

Inner beauty is the champion within us all, to rise, to fall, to seek, to stand, to love. We all have a soul and our soul is the rarest form of beauty.

We are always on a quest for the discovery of infinite possibilities. Josif and his staff at CTI, spend time to get to know who you are, your way of being, and how you live your life. Their gift is to expose you to the possibility of current trends, helping you look and feel your best, but most of all, allowing your inner beauty, or your inner light, to shine bright!

A well-tended, well-loved face and body is the best canvas for the soul's expression.





Yogi Josif:
Wait until you see the video! Guiding you through Debbie's transformation, see Josif in full lotus (padmasana) pose!

So....I'm not crazy! Werewolf sightings in WI.


MonsterQuest : American Werewolf
Airs on Saturday July 05 07:00 PM

The werewolf is a centuries-old legend based on myth, not a real animal. However, local eyewitnesses in Wisconsin and Michigan report seeing a dogman--a tall hairy man-beast. Professional hunters and trackers armed with tranquilizer guns will be deployed in an area of recent sightings to find this creature. For the first time polygraphs and hypnosis will be used on eyewitnesses with astonishing results. One-part history, one-part science and one part monster, discover he truth behind legendary monsters.

When will I learn?



Festival Foods? Copps? So many cars and I'm not in the mood to stand in line. Favorite veggie sandwich place? Closed. I went through the McDonald's Drive-thru as a last resort for the advertised Southwest Salad.

One bite, and I find this piece of metal? I took the salad back and guess what? It was the piece from the shake machine that they were searching for all morning. Apparently, they washed the shake machine and then rinsed the lettuce in the same sink. When the lettuce was scooped up to prepare the salads, so was the missing part that was left in the sink.

I think it's Copps Tomato Basil Soup for dinner!
