Transform T – A Shirt for Haiti

Tonight I found out that YogaDork was running a t-shirt design contest to raise money for Haiti, and I immediately opened up my Photoshop program.

Yoga Styles, According to YogaDawg

Nikki Chau — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:39:28 +0000

Oh YogaDawg, where have you been all my life?

This morning I discovered YogaDawg and literally howled with laughter as I clicked through the Yoga News Archive and Comics. (Ana Brett teaching yoga to Buddha, Patanjali, and Shakti? Why not?)

I totally admire the genius in the Yoga Schools and Styles descriptions, copied, cut, and quoted below for [...]
