when are you going to make a yoga dvd? the htc youtube site is wonderful but I want to do whole routines.
in the video are you wearing a skirt over your leggings?
i adore my tranquilit skirt-pants and would love if you designed a legging with a similar fold-over skirt, similar to what it looks like you're wearing in the video.
maybe?
ah, a DVD. i've always been more of a CD-lover to ensure yogis don't strain their necks watching tv and doing yoga. i have 3 fun CDs out - all available at amazon.
re: the skirt, i think i was simply wearing the leggings and 2-in-1 tank. i often add the capelet or savasana throw on over the leggings for a fun cover up! no new skirt pant with leggings on the horizon but i am working on spring 2009 so stay tuned and keep your feedback/requests coming. xoxo
Oh my goodness, that dog sure was enjoying that bone! He's hysterical, seeing him on the mat really made me smile.
Again, just have to say....
LOVE THESE PODCASTS!
Thank you, thank you!
They are superb and the youtube sequences are great.
:)
As someone else mentioned in a comment, the tranquilit line is looking wonderful - the new fall colors and pieces are amazing - how do you do it all?
:)
