It seems like the weather here in Boston can't make up its mind. One minute we have pouring down rain, chilly winds, and clouds so thick you can't see the city skyline, and the next moment I'm lounging at my pool soaking up the sun in the smallest bikini imaginable to get as much Vitamin D as possible. (And to be honest, to minimize tan lines...hey, I'm human.)

The other night I taught a yoga class to my friends and neighbors in my building. As people shuffled in I could feel the low energy. 

"This weather is just gross." said one friend.
"I felt so down and trapped in my office," commented another.
