I've been doing yoga since Aug. 1997. Every friday, I do it at Kapiolani Park, which is at the foot of Diamond Head. Here's a picture of my yoga class as it appeared in the December 19, 199 issue of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. It appeared in the Island Images in the News section. My mother (who takes yoga too) is way on the right. The hard copy didn't show my mom (she got cut out, probably because the picture was too long.) I didn't attend class that day, unfortunately. My yoga teacher's web site is Yoga Works Hawaii.
