I am perhaps the girliest of girly girls. I like pink, tutus, and tiaras. I have been known to wear high heels to the grocery store. I doodle flowers, rainbows, unicorns, and Care Bears in the margins of my notebooks. And I have been looking forward to Prince Williams wedding since I was 14 years old. Of course, at the time, I had envisioned it going down a little differently... For one, I was going to be there.. in a tiara.. You know, Princess Diaries style (I was recently told I look like Anne Hathaway, after all.)

Anyway, it recently dawned on me that I will never be crowned the princess of Wales. I will never be Miss America. I will not be a ballerina, Olympic ice skater, or even homecoming queen. My childhood ambitions are slipping away before my very eyes. (Sigh.)

But I can still be a yoga goddess!

There are plenty of poses that make me feel like a princess.  I feel pampered every time I get on my mat because I'm doing something that's just for me. But no pose makes me feel more princess-y than Supta Baddha Konasana. When I'm propped up on blankets and bolsters, I even feel like I'm sitting on a throne. There better not be a pea under those blankets....

To-Go Ware

1. Take one. Sometimes I work right through lunch without even noticing that I missed it. This is very, very bad. It makes for a very long day and a head ache. I am going to start setting an alarm so this never happens again.

2. Meditate. I don't go sit under a tree outside my office and meditate because my co-workers already think I'm weird because I sit in Lotus at my desk... But I do try to at least get out of the office and take 10 deep breaths. And I've always felt a bazillion-kajillion times better afterward.

3. Stretch. Oh, how I long for the days when I could practice yoga every single day during my lunch breaks! Alas, I am no longer spoiled in this way. I practice yoga at my desk all day long by taking a lot off stretch breaks. Lunch is the perfect opportunity to squeeze in a few extra ones.

4. Do something that fulfills you. For me, sometimes it's blogging or tweeting with my pals. Other times, it's thumbing through a fashion magazine, taking a walk, or logging into my puppy cam to see what my sweet Penny is up to.

5. Do nothing. When you finish eating before your hour is up... don't you DARE go back to your desk! Put your legs up the wall. Close your eyes. Take a Siesta. But don't short-change yourself by going back to work early. If you don't take care of yourself, no one else will.

Besides, the next time you take a nice, refreshing break in the middle of your day, notice how productive you are in the afternoon. I've noticed that I actually accomplish MORE by taking a full hour lunch break than hen I try to power through it and get everything done.

How do you make the most of your lunch break?

OK.. I admit it. One of my guiltiest of all pleasures is American Idol.

I'm the first to admit that my time would be better spent if I devoted some of the time I've wasted watching mindless television to something more productive... yoga, meditation, community service, blogging...


But this show has caused me to think a lot about what makes a great performer and great leader. Contestants on American Idol have many of the same qualities that great yoga teachers have...  Coincidentally, I think they are also characteristics that yoga can help cultivate.

1. Voice. Will practicing yoga give you an amazing singing voice? Nope. But it can help you become more clear about the message that it conveys.

2. Confidence. If you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else? To be an idol you have to be Nothing makes you more confident than arm balances.

3. Grace. It takes a special personality to take criticism in stride. It takes incredible resolve to believe in yourself no matter what anyone else says.

4. Charisma. How can yoga give you more charisma? It makes you more comfortable in who you are ... so you stop holding back and let it all hang out--your humor, goofiness, flaws and failures. That's my definition of charisma.

5. Empathy. If you want others to relate to you and your stories, you have to be able to put yourself in their shoes. When you start to understand yourself more clearly through practicing yoga, helps you to understand how others feel. Whether you're looking to connect with people as a performer or just in your everyday life, this is what makes people shine.

Do you agree?
