Wow, that yoga retreat sounds unbelievably amazing. Wow. I would never survive it LOL, but it would really be a life changing experience. I am so devoted to yoga, even though sometimes my body will let me do it and sometimes it won't. But no form of exercise has ever done as much good for my body without any negative effects. I will never stop doing yoga the rest of my life. I was in dance since I was 3, so I always thought "Oh, it's a lot like yoga, close enough". Nope. Nothing like it.:) I wish so much that I had been into yoga back when I was dancing the most. It would have helped SO much. I can get in better shape with yoga than I ever could have in dance with about 1/64 of the effort or less. It's a completely different approach to movement and exercise.

Also, as was pointed out by the people of nicecupofteaandasitdown.com, dark (black, dark blue, bottle green) mugs don't work. Because the mug makes the tea look too weak, so the person making it will either make it too strong in an effort to compensate, or make it okay, but it will still look wrong, and the look will disturb the drinker on a subconscious level, making them feel that they have an inferior cup of tea.

:D:D:D:D:D When I'm able to stop laughing long enough to speak, I'll tell you I really do love tea also, as well as the sort of "cultural aura" about it, and I'm not even British (and I'm inclined to agree about the mug color...)
