I experienced a growing yoga fad: Hot Pod . It's vinyasa but in a warm, dark, giant, purple, jumping castle, tent thingy. It's about 37 degrees so you get your sweat on and I guess the idea is both gimmick and convenience for teachers to transport it ... Read more >

This is Miffy. Wow, 100 days go by so quick. They have these 'Iamsterdam' city cards here (24, 48, 72 or 96 hours) so grabbed us both a 72-er for some serious adventuring. They don't start until you activate em, so we might get started in a few days.... Read more >
