Especially if you have prior joint and bone injuries, doing plyometrics, weightlifting and running on a treadmill can put a lot of strain on your vulnerable body parts. The non-abrasive, body flexing, joint strengthening art of yoga is just what the doctor orders. The dual benefit of yoga over many other forms of exercises is that it is a powerful mental discipline as well. Yoga means union, which through my interpretation is the union of the mind and body. Practicing meditation has many great health benefits beyond the physical, as many doctors claim.&

Shop Talk – The Paper Station
by alex
I'm not a big fan of air travel (too many people in too small a space with too many bumps and mechanical noises!) but I am a big fan of the Portland airport. It's a nice, manageable size, clean and organized, and best of all, they have some great shops where you can easily kill some time if you're early for a flight or waiting for a loved one to arrive.I especially love The Paper Station – as the name implies they have a great selection of greeting cards and other paper products (I found the cutest graduation card there not too long ago).

You can count on me.But ‘til then (and after then, really), there is the divinity called Xtabay, a great shop for all things vintage, on Clinton just off 26th Ave. I’m not a vintage girl, per se – I err on the side of Banana Republic way too often. Until about a year ago, I’d just admire Xtabay’s gorgeous window displays and keep walking, thinking it just wasn’t my thing. Until, that is, I sa
