Sure, practicing yoga is all about health and wellness, but Smart Money knows that it is also booming business. There are some aspects of yoga class that may not be in keeping with the healthy lifestyle you seek — just don't expect your yoga instructor to let you in on them. Here are a few pointers for staying healthy while practicing yoga, and remember that even when taking a fitness class led by an instructor, it's best to think for yourself to figure out what feels right and what practices work best for you.

Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing - Instead of grabbing on to cracks and rock ledges with your hands, you dig tools into ice and frozen waterfalls that have formed over the rock.
Obviously, you'll need to love being in the cold if you want to learn to ice climb. Don't go out and buy all the expensive equipment to ice climb just yet.

Dancing erotically for your partner can help create a new form of communication between the two of you. Erotic dance helps to develop a sense of openness, and offers the promise of a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. Body language is very powerful.

Dear Fit,
I've been taking a yoga class for about a year with this amazing instructor. We're always trying new poses and I'm soaked with sweat by the end from moving around so much. Plus the next day, I'm really sore so I know I'm working hard.

- What do you think of the controversy?
When President Barack Obama makes a speech Tuesday to America's schoolchildren that will be carried live on television and the Internet, students in at least one Wisconsin school district won't be allowed to see it - at least, not if they're where they're supposed to be.
Elmbrook School District Superintendent Matt Gibson told parents Thursday that schools in his district would not show the president's speech live on Tuesday, although he encouraged families to watch it at home and provided a link where it would be archived.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Inspired by a story she read as a young girl about Amelia Earhart’s trans-Atlantic flight, Virginia Sweet became a pioneering female aviator in her own right.
She was a pilot with the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots, ferrying every type of military aircraft from factories to air bases during World War II to free male pilots for combat.

A friend of mine just started working out with me regularly 3-4 times a week (hooray, a fitness buddy!), and I'd love to bring her gradually into yoga, since it's one of my favorite ways to tone and relax. She's never taken a class, and I am by no means an instructor, but if anyone can suggest a great beginner's dvd, it would be really helpful.
What are your best suggestions that will be an intro for someone just starting out but still give me that bit of challenge I enjoy?

When I signed up for a gym membership for Pure Fitness in Tempe, AZ, I was excited to see they offered yoga classes. Little did I know I was taking classes by a wonderful instructor by the name of Zuzanna. After the first class I took with her, she asked all her students to sign up if they wanted to be added to her email list.
