At Urban Kids Play on Queen Anne, a wonderful transformation takes place every second Tuesday of the month. The display tables are wheeled away, and the vibrant children's boutique becomes a yoga studio for little ones looking to stretch their arms heavenward and salute the sun.

A random sample taken from men who practice yoga revealed where they get their yoga wear: Goodwill -- or their sweats-and-worn-T's-filled bottom drawer. OK, I actually only asked two guys in my yoga class. But after observing men in improvised yoga wear for years during my own practice, I'm pretty sure my survey results are accurate.

Forget the dog park. Sure, tramping through the woods and playing fetch have their appeal, but for many Fidos, so do herding sheep, tearing up the dance floor -- even striking a yoga pose. Fortunately, the greater Seattle area has become a breeding ground for offbeat classes and activities that adventurous human-canine duos can sniff out together.

I love my mom dearly, but no matter how much time passes, I will never shake the disturbing vision of her mid-1970s yoga getup -- a scoop-necked, poly-something, long-sleeved leotard and matching full-length tights (with feet!) in dreary mocha. Thank goodness she was a short and not a venti; on more ample proportions than hers, the effect would have been downright dowdy.

It wasn't that I was expecting a mosh pit or a Joey Ramone-type to scream out instructions, but after my first Punk Rock Yoga class I was a little confused. The setting was a candlelit room and the live music was provided by a didjeridoo player. Our instructor - a petite, polite woman in a bandana - had us hold hands and chant.

A trip to the spa for a rejuvenating facial might temporarily perk up weary skin that's seen too many cocktails and late nights out, but perhaps it's time for a lifestyle makeover that promotes more lasting health benefits.

Once I reached a "certain age" I began to develop an aversion to shopping for clothes. Pants were tighter, blouses gapped. But it was the rear view from a three-way mirror in a brightly lit dressing room that was most shocking. Where did I get all that flesh on my back? It looked like the part of a chicken no one wanted.

Nestled amid the natural beauty of Whidbey Island, The Yoga Lodge is truly an escape from the chaos called life.
Perhaps it's the simple meals with fresh ingredients grown in the organic gardens. Or the solitude with only the croaking frogs and chirping birds for company. Or maybe it's the warmth and wisdom of proprietress and yogini Gail Malizia.
