Tranquility Now!

Could this photo of yoga practitioners doing downward-facing dog in Bloomfield, NJ become as iconic as the pictures of men selling apples in New York City during the Depression? Probably not. But it's just as much a sign of the times.

Yesterday, the new entrepreneurs at Garden State Yoga staged an outdoor exhibition of power vinyasa just as commuters were stepping off trains in Bloomfield Center. The brand-new yoga studio, which has been open a week, occupies the space formerly run by Starseed.

An incredibly apt pose considering what the "masters of the universe" have inflicted upon the markets.

Coming soon:

POLICE CRACKING DOWN ON ILLEGAL YOGA!!

I've seen some of our city streets: More like down-facing doggie doo.

This calls for a caption contest, no?

Give us your caption, Jerzee.

It's a bottoms-up salute to the "new economy"

American consumers "ass-ume the position" as they wait to hear about the next government bailout.

Now, those are smart ass captions.

"Will Downward Dog For Food"

I'm sure weary commuters like a little bit of live soft-core as they debark in the evening.

"Yes, that's right sir, ten dollars to kiss some ass."

Crack a smile..

Cathar,

That's my station. I'm definately gonna go the 10 bucks...

:)

I prefer to downward my dog in private, but I guess if I had a cute ass street yoga might be fun.

Is the 2nd woman in line from the camera single? And does she have a yen for a nice, decent, well-meaning somewhat immature Jewish man?

They all look like they're getting ready to kick some ass.

American consumers "ass-ume the position" as they wait to hear about the next government bailout.

LOL!

McYoga
nothing but spiritual mass marketing...
pitiful

Hey Luke, she's single. C'mon in and say hi!!!!! Get your sweat on and become a part of the community. Whu Hu!!!!!!

Nam-asste

There is nothing pitiful, whatever, about those gorgeous young women, who could probably crush you with their yogathighs (in your dreams).

"Hey Luke, she's single. C'mon in and say hi!!!!! Get your sweat on and become a part of the community. Whu Hu!!!!!!"

GSyogi-

Consider it done, but I need the info. AND you'd better introduce me...

Luke, come on in brother. I would be happy to introduce you. Check out www.gardenstateyoga.com for schedule information. It is a powerful workout that challenges body, spirit and mind all at once. Bring it!!!!

gsyogi, it's fine to accept the free plug the Baristas gave you. A little unseemly, however, to be out there so actively hustling for business among posters.

C'mon, cathar, Luke was totally asking for it!

or assking, even!

Good Luck gsyogi!

If any place can use some yoga bliss, it's Montclair!

hi cather, i totally get your point and will refrain...i just get a little excited sometimes. was not meant that way......

Why is it called downward facing dog? I've never seen a dog in that position.

Ha! Doggie yoga!

"gsyogi, it's fine to accept the free plug the Baristas gave you. A little unseemly, however, to be out there so actively hustling for business among posters."

Cathar, I don't know you at all, but don't go blaming GSYogi here. I asked, she answered, and I didn't provide any personal email address for her to have done so privately. Your admonishment of her is unnecessary.

cathar is a true idiot..as his post about football and the young man who passed away shows..the only one who mentioned football was the dolt

Padre, I am so hapy you are still bleeding. And circling warily, once your pellagra eases and days after the fact, to find some way to get on me

Luke, you profess to be unduly sensitive. Perhaps you're also a lunkhead. The worst kind, too, a cutesy lunkhead.

"Luke, you profess to be unduly sensitive. Perhaps you're also a lunkhead. The worst kind, too, a cutesy lunkhead."

What a devastating wit you have. You must be well versed in Mark Twain. This site is lucky to have you! Thank you...for being you.
