You have to be dedicated, courageous and a bit exhibitionist to want to lay out your yoga practice in a blog. Writing about a physical and spiritual practice is a tall order because it takes time and openness about one’s personal life. You have to be careful to give the most accurate description of the practice or meditaiton or whatever, and it may be open to misinterpretation.
