108 namastes

i've fallen REALLY behind in updating my yoga instructor list. in fact, i can't remember the last time i actually updated it (maybe it was sometime earlier this year?).

anyway, i need to acknowledge all the wonderful yoga teachers who've somehow left their imprint on me and my yoga practice this year. so to the 108+ yogis and yoginis (119, to be exact) with whom i've taken classes in LA* since jan 1st 2007, a big namaste to all of you!
