- Introduction
- I'm an avid cyclist, both road and mountain cycling, and a student of Zen Buddhism, currently learning to read, write, and speak Mandarin, yoga seems like a good complement to my other interests.
- What style yoga do you practice? What's your favorite pose?

Haven't done any yet. Due to injuries from 2 car crashes and a motorcycle crash, I have limited flexibility, can't do the lotus for instance, but I want to push myself to the limits of my capabilities.

“ Positive, enthusiastic instructors, with attention given to every individual, gives this meetup a very welcoming ambience. ”
-
“ Really great people, warm, friendly folks with lots of ethnic diversity. Very interesting meetings trading cultural icons and viewpoints. Everyone has a super positive attitude, that learning English is a no-brainer. Really, the Korean and Japanese members have mastered those languages, which are tougher than English. Join whether to teach or to learn English, and in 2 meetings its really fun with friends. ”

“ Others should join because this meetup is serious about teaching and practicing Mandarin. We have many members with wide range of expertise, from native Chinese speakers to novices who have never seen or heard a Chinese word in their life, and everyone is enthusiastic about helping other members. I have 12 pages of double-column sheets of Mandarin chracters, with pinyin equivalents with tone marks, and English translations. The documents are in PDF format and are free with membership. New members of any level of proficiency are welcome because there will be someone close to your level who knows a little more than you to coach you, and you'll learn by practicing. Mandarin is a four-tone language, and practicing regularly is necessary to maintain any level of proficiency. ”

“ Community of friendly folks sharing their enthusiasm for a great sport. ”
-
“ People should join this meetup if they want a community of friendly people with the same positive attitude towards sharing fresh air and sunshine with friends. The people are what makes a meetup. There were great people there, and as far as I'm concerned, that makes it a success. ”
-
“ Because it has the potential to provide a stimulating evening of intelligent conversation for everyone present. ”
-
-
“ Others should join so we can make fun of them, like laughing at how Siobhan spells her name. I don't know where else we can have this kind of fun without getting punched in the mouth. Next time, if she wears her lucky hat, I'll make fun of her for that, but I think she might punch me in the mouth. But I can always run away, ha ha, the joke's on her! ”
-
-
“ A great, friendly community of people with an "everybody is welcome" vibe. A really warm bunch of super good people. ”
-
-
“ Ping pong is a cure for depression, a vaccination against apathy, a tune-up for eye-hand coordination, and FUN FUN FUN TIL MY DADDY TAKES MY T-BIRD AWAY! ”
-
“ Good job Steve Barchetti for coming up with all the good meetups. ”
-
-
“ It's time to restore the Constitution as the supreme social contract of America. ”

“ Smokey, Thanks for bringing the poems. I got a chance to read it at home. I particularly like the one by John Gallespie Magee, Jr. It's going up next to my paragliding poster in my classroom and I'm sending it to our paragliding club in Korea as well. See you at the next meeting. :) ”
