Most of us don t think of yoga as a muscle-building activity, but those downward dog postures really strengthen arms and shoulders. Yoga also helps protect and strengthen the back and relieve stress from the neck and shoulders all useful for those of us exerting ourselves on or in the water, as well as for those of us working at computers Coastside yoga teacher Malinda Thompson has focused on yoga as therapeutic, and she found that it helped heal her own low back pain. This led her to Loyala Marymount University in Los Angeles, where she became certified in advanced yoga therapy. Several of us from the yacht club have taken her classes at Joy of Being in Moss Beach, and we asked her to talk to the club about how yoga can be helpful in our activities. She s low-key, safety-oriented and not at all preachy She ll talk and answer questions from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, and dinner will follow at 7: a chicken dish called Evil Jungle Prince, a veggie curry, Indian bread, green salad and dessert for $12. RSVP to Larry Miller, at lgmiller@usgs.gov. Bonnie Lemons and Stephanie Breslin
