Q: What is one of the funniest incidents that occurred in one of your yoga classes?
A: A couple came into my class this summer, having just rolled out of bed. The man, determining that he would be too hot in his sweat pants, removed them and practiced in his gray Calvin Klein briefs. The woman was braless and tousle-haired. They attended only the one time, but ever since then, my good natured regular students referred to our half-clad guests as "Adam and Eve."
