Sometimes it seems that yoga's the vanilla ice cream of the body/mind/spirit crowd—people can't help themselves from sprinkling on their favorite toppings and swirling extras into the basic flavor. How else to perceive AcroYoga, Yogilates, and Cy-Yo, if not as the yogic versions of fudge ripple?
I'm convinced that walking is the secret to staying fit, healthy, and happy. Sure, you can train daily for marathons or spend each morning in a rigorous yoga practice - that's OK too - but walking is special. Simply deciding to get up and walk away from your desk or TV is empowering, it gives you back a sense of control and specifies a period of the day that is dedicated to nothing more than you.
