Can the paradigm shift, eviction, interpreting signs, crop circles, DNA, back pain, Dr Emoto yoga and angels be funny? The LA Weekly says "Funny and Mind expanding" yogamates.com says "chakradelic!" Come see for yourself. After all, laughter really is the best medicine.

A few days before my first yoga New Year, my teacher asked us to make yoga New Year’s resolutions. Instantly, and uncharacteristically, not even taking the three dark days till New Year’s to mull it over, I resolved to get good at jump ups. And I have been resolving to get good at jump ups every year since.

That’s an exaggeration. Some years I resolve to not care if I get good at jump ups. Some years I resolve to work on “inflating my kidneys” in order to get good at jump ups. Or tackling my fear of falling in order to get good at jump ups.

WHY ONLY 88%?

Anyone that tells you it’s possible to be 100% happy 100% of the time is conning you. America has to get over our 100%ism. We don’t even know where 100% of the matter in the universe is!

Maybe it’s because we're so young, or because we come from Puritans or because we are apple pie people. A pie makes it look like there is a 100% to divide up. And we love our pie charts. We love our pies!

America is 100% all the way! But trying to be 100% happy is setting yourself up for failure, which makes you more unhappy, which sends you into a downward spiral.

100%ism leads to pyramid schemes. My pyramid scheme is a little different. It actually involves learning about the pyramids. And then some!
