Traditionally, yoga isn't just about the body. It's about the mind. It often contains meditation to calm your racing thoughts and it's based on Eastern religions like Buddhism and Taoism that advocate love for all your fellow creatures. But reportedly, one famous yoga guru might have taken this "love" thing too far. Bikram Choudhury, the founder of Bikram yoga, in which yoga moves are done in hot temperatures, may have gotten a little too hot, according to a former student who is suing him for sexual harassment.

I wouldn't call myself a yoga fanatic, I've been doing beginner's yoga on and off for a couple of years. I enjoy it, but it's a bit too slow for me. At the end of a workout, I like to feel energized, not like I want to lay down and go into a deep hibernation. So when I saw something about Gwyneth Paltrow giving "aerial" yoga or "flying" yoga the thumbs up in her ridiculously uber-healthy blog GOOP, I thought I'd give it a try. Anything Gwynnie can do, I can do better. Haha, kidding, GPal. Don't kick my ass.

Anyway, so I got up Saturday morning and trekked to AntiGravity® Aerial Yoga studios in Manhattan.

So here's a funny story. The Encinitas United School District in California started an in-school yoga program. You know, because it's fun and relaxing and helps kids focus and all that. But some families got their pants all up in a bunch over the whole idea -- because they think yoga is a religious practice, and what about separation of church and state, and now it's time to sue the school district. Yup, a family just filed a lawsuit to stop the yoga classes.

SIGH. I know this isn't the last time I'm going to say this, but here goes: Yoga is not a religion -- certainly not the way it's being practiced in the Encinitas schools, where it's taught as a physical fitness program. Don't these people have better things to do than sue over YOGA?!? Oh my god, this lawsuit is so freakin' stupid, I feel like ... I need to ... OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Unless you are a fitness instructor or otherwise super-buff and graceful, you probably look pretty silly working out. I do, you do, everybody does.

However, we moms need our strength and endurance to keep up with these crazy kids of ours! We want to set a good example of living a healthy lifestyle, too.

Our buddy Randall (of Honey Badger fame) is always willing to point out our silliness in his series Moms in the Wild. In the latest episode, he follows a bunch of wild moms during their workouts ... workouts which incorporate their kids in sometimes crazy ways. Check it out!

You know how everybody has pretty much one position they can fall asleep in, and that's it? Like some people can't nod off unless they're flat on their backs, while other people -- like me --  just plain can't drift away to dreamland staring up at the ceiling. Well, according to the latest research, your sleep position of choice actually says a lot about your personality.

Which totally makes sense, if you think about it. Sort of like body language -- except even more telling, because while we can attempt to hide our dejected posture or nervous foot-tapping tendencies when we're awake, the sleep state leaves us completely exposed. (Take it from someone who talks in her sleep.)

So get ready for a little sleepytime self-analysis:

So the truth is, I actually like to exercise. Somewhat. I mean, I'm not into working out as a form of self-punishment or anything, but I feel better, physically and mentally, when I get some form of regular exercise. Which is why I like it. But, I have next to no time for exercise, or at least that's what I thought. Because the opportunities I get to actually go to a class or spend a good solid hour at the gym are few and far between. So what's the point?

Well, as it turns out, there totally is a point to squeezing in short workouts whenever possible! According to research, just 20 minutes of exercise a day goes a long way, not only in terms of healthy weight maintenance but also in fighting off such major chronic diseases as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
