Sigh. This news really crushed me today. I was really psyched about Yoga and getting into a weekly rhythm of 3 sessions a week. At the end of June, I bought a one year pass.

But then the owner announced that he was having health problems. In July, he said that he had soft cell renal carcinoma (kidney cancer). The docters found out it was a rare type and very slow growing. But when they tried to remove it, they could not control his heart rate or blood pressure. So they aborted the operation.

I thought he was making progress when he got three yoga instructors to teach his classes. But the turnout was on a downward spiral. And he has been continually cutting back classes over the years. I guess it was finally apparent that this studio would not turn a profit.

So now I am trying classes out at Yoga Yoga. Fortunately, it is right across the street from work.

I wish Joey the best of luck. He is the most positive person that I have ever known. And a role model for how more positive I should view this life.
