Yesterday, there was an article about the health benefits of yoga.

It is clear to me that yoga is considered mainstream practice, and no longer lives on the fringe with hippes, gypsies, and practitioners of TM.
Yet, people still tell me:
1) I can't find a class near by me that works with my schedule
and
2) I can't find the time, with work and family
For those of you interested, there are alternatives. MiNeeds.com, a program launched by Microsoft, allows you to request a service, set a budget, and have people bid on that service. You can check their profiles, see what they provide, and reject or accept any bid. Want yardwork? Massage therapy? Private yoga in your home or in a studio? Have them come to you? Need to barter for something?
Who knows? Maybe I'll be knocking on your door.
What do you think of MiNeeds.com? Check it out, and tell us about it.

I wonder if this journalist counted your 3 weekly classes with his 984 classes!
Maybe a lot of offering is overwhelming so people do not know where to start to find a good yoga class
Who knows? There are probably an extra 50 classes running locally that are listed in a way that is easy to track. Once I'm up on Teachstreet.com, they can count my three offerings.
Wonder how many bellydance classes in Seattle are being offered?
If MiNeeds.com you're talking about is this one : MiNeeds.com , I think it is an independent startup, not a Microsoft initiative.
My friend hired some contractor to get his deck repainted and got a great deal. I've seen some posts there about yoga and massage. Looks like people are getting good deals there.
