I'm a yoga teacher, yoga author (Guiding Yoga's Light, Human Kinetics, 2008) and full-time marketing professional. Having had a yoga practice since college has quite literally kept me afloat. It's a life-changing practice that every corporation should include in their budgets. Kudos! And PLEASE--keep me in mind for the next summit!

I am now working daily to practice on the mat with the props you gave us - blocks, straps and the book. Thank you for sharing your stories of how it kept you mind and body limber during times of crisis - we are all experiencing difficulties now in financial services and yoga is one way out of it!! My best, Anne Martha,

I used to do Yoga all the time and I felt so so good. I wasn't as tired at my desk at work, had good energy, way less stress, woke up earlier because I didn't need as much sleep and wanted to get in there and do my routine. And it made me want to eat better so I'd feel better and look better too. I felt wonderful... then I became pregnant and was on bed rest most of it so the doctor said no yoga. My son was born 6 weeks early and 8.5 pounds, and I was in labor for 2 months before he was born. Yikes! I am going to definitely have to start getting back into doing it to feel better! Any suggestions on a specific show on tv or a dvd or something to get? I used to always watch Denise Austin and Guthie Ranker is it? I probably have about 4 or 5 of her videos. I remember the first time I did one of her videos I was exhausted but I kept going and going until I couldn't go anymore. Finally I just sat down and stopped because I couldn't do it anymore. I was really upset when I realized the video was only 3 more minutes. hehehe After that I learned to watch an exercize video before I actually do it. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. :) Have a fantabulous day today! Laney Brown Tulsa, Oklahoma Good Morning Martha!

I guess my dryer has a rusty place in it and now some of my favorite clothes have rust spots on them. How can i get rust out of clothes??? Also, a friend wanted me to ask how to get paint out of her jeans? I figure she will need an iron-on flower or something over the paint. But I just know if Rust can be removed from my clothes YOU WOULD BE THE ONE TO KNOW HOW. Thank you, An Okie who has a rust challenge.!!! Dear Martha,

I recently took up Bikram and am totally hooked. It is the best/most rewarding exercise I do. I regret not having started earlier. This looks like a wonderful class you taught!
