Dear NYC Yogis:

Ann Votaw interviewed Reka Prasad who's organized a conference of leading Buddhist feminists to discuss activism and social change.  If you miss it, catch the video.  Another serious Buddhist Jeff Cannon has had eight brain surgeries, written a new book called The Conversation: Your Guide to Transcendence, and told Megan Mook about what this experience has taught him. Finally, Christine Chen talks to Dar Dowling about how she went from being an uber exerciser and television broadcaster to serious yet fun-loving yoga teacher.

Sleuth walks into the lion's den for an intense class at Earth Yoga with Will Schneider and then hits Keshava Radha Yoga for the opposite extreme - a thoughtful slow-moving class where every single part of the body got unlocked.

On the blogs, Whitney takes to the road for the ultimate do-over - job, friends, etc.; and YogaCity NYC's Publisher Brette Popper explains how a well-organized existence turned upside down can become a gift.

It's never too late to change your life.

Brette, Cynthia, Katie, YogaDork, Allison, Michael, Rachael and Pam
