	from Ann Pizer I'm racking my brain trying to remember if I've ever been in a yoga class where the men outnumber the women, and I can't come up with a single instance. Of course, there are many dedicated male yogis and wonderful male teachers (including some famous and highly respected ones), but many men feel intimidated by yoga's current popularity with the gals.

Pose of the Week - Easy Pose - Sukasana

Easy pose has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? (As opposed to, say, really hard pose.) This photo shows one version of easy pose, though it really just means taking a comfortable seat. Any cross-legged position will do, as long as the knees are below the hips, so take a blanket under your sitbones to raise the hips if necessary.
