New
Yoga Center

Linda Hearn stretch just a bit farther.
Sarah Pauzauskie twists, and turns, with grace.
Friends,
family, and yoga enthusiasts thronged the new Vineyard Yoga
and Body Therapies in West Tisbury's Middletown Village
Saturday to congratulate owner Andy Estrella and get a peek
at the gleaming new facility.
Andy, along with Sarah Pauzauskie, will be teaching Bikram's
Hot Yoga at the well-appointed center. Andy will offer high-energy
Ashtanga Vinyasa classes as well. Familiar teachers Megan
Grennan and Josh Montoya are also on the class roster.
Saturday's grand opening featured free morning classes then
an afternoon open house with sumptuous food, genial socializing,
and lots of "ooohs" and "aaahs" as visitors
checked out the big bright studio, serene massage room,
and the convenient changing and shower spaces.
Andy, who was born in Oak Bluffs, received intensive Bikram
training in Los Angeles as is required of all Hot Yoga teachers,
and also studied Ashtanga with Richard Freeman at the Yoga
Workshop in Boulder, Colo.
Also offering massage and other body work, Andy said he
sees his new endeavor complementing the wide variety of
yoga instruction already offered on the Island.

Potatoes and magic for St. Paddy's Day
The thought of Ireland evokes images of flickering firelight, spiced
whiskey, and boxty potato cakes that are the perfect dish when returning
from confession. More>>
Just
a Bite: Good food, good friends, good deal
Judging

delightful "Monday two-for-one night" is no longer a secret.

Inventive
families in the spotlight
While
other people eat left over mashed potatoes and turkey or invade
the shopping malls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, last November
three Island families headed to Cambridge and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) for an annual event known as the
F.A.T. (Friday After Thanksgiving) Chain Reaction. More>>
First,
a red-footed falcon by accident... now, an Australian emu on purpose
While
it proved extremely chancy last August to photograph the red-footed
falcon apparently blown across the Atlantic Ocean to Katama totally
by accident, my recent visit to West Tisbury was borne of a far
greater certainty of success.
