My dorm room may feel like a bit of a cell, but with a bit of work it already feels a lot more comfortable to do yoga in and just to sit around in.

]]> Comment on Technosanity #6: Hazards of U.S. nuclear power plants, part 2 (ifyoulovethisplanet.org) by Michael Stuart http://newage.org/2008/08/05/technosanity-6-hazards-of-us-nuclear-power-plants-part-2-ifyoulovethisplanetorg/#comment-380 Michael Stuart Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:39:35 +0000 http://newage.org/2008/08/05/technosanity-6-hazards-of-us-nuclear-power-plants-part-2-ifyoulovethisplanetorg/#comment-380 There is a huge difference between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. It's like saying we should outlaw batteries because you can make bullets from the lead in car batteries. Nuclear energy has been safely and efficiently providing power to the West for 50 years. No one has died from a nuclear-related accident in any western country. Compare that to fossil fuels with as estimated 15,000 lives per year death toll. You probably already know that nuclear energy is just about the lowest cost producer of baseload electricity on the planet. It produces over 74% of the low-carbon energy in the United States - responsible for the avoidance of 800 million tons of CO2 per year. That's about the same as removing every passenger car in the United States from the road! You probably also know that nuclear power supplies electricity to one in every five homes and businesses in the United States. Finally, it should also be known that nuclear power produces a tiny amount of waste, and the best news of all is that over 95% of it can be recycled and used again. Countries like France, Sweden, Germany, and Japan have left us in the dust in nuclear technology and enjoyed huge benefits and cleaner air as a result. It's about time we reclaim some of those benefits. There is a huge difference between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy.

I alternated weights (resistance bands, actually) and aerobics. The benefit of this was that I felt strong and fit. The downside was that I was often hurting myself (pulling/straining muscles, etc.). Then I began practicing yoga regularly. My first 90-minute power/Vinyasa flow yoga class blew me away. The class consisted of 45 minutes of Sun Salutation variations followed by 45 minutes of balance and then floor postures. I first came to yoga, I was committed to a balanced workout regime.
