If you have long hair, your yoga apparel must-have list to take to a class should include headbands, barrettes, and ponytail holders to keep your hair

No matter what style of yoga clothing you favor, be sure that you can maneuver through a full range of motion. For example, a t-shirt with tight, cap-style sleeves may keep you from rotating your arms as much as you would like. On the other hand, a t-shirt that’s too baggy will fall over your head and face when you bend forward. If you feel more comfortable in a loose shirt, be prepared to tuck it into your pants or shorts. If you have a tank top or spaghetti strap top, look for styles without prominent clasps or seams that may chafe your skin by the end of a long, tough class.

Also, beware of tops that tie around your neck or waist if you are doing a vigorous yoga practice. That tie can come loose as you get sweaty, and if you are in the midst of an arm balance when that happens, you will either lose your balance or lose your shirt.

After this eruption the moon looked blue for several days. Luckily for us, volcanoes don't erupt every day, so a blue moon continues to be a rare phenomenon.

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? English Edification Enrichment (20)

What is the meaning and origin of the idiom, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? Some people, as soon as they buy a lottery ticket think they are going to win. They begin to make plans as to what they are going to do with the money when they get it. When you tell such a person "not to count your chickens before they hatch" what you are doing is warning him. You are telling the individual not to celebrate prematurely; you are advising him not to count his profits before he has the money in his hand.
