Thanks to everyone who rolled out their red yoga mats, put on their finest black stretchy pants, and cast a vote for the 2010 YOGAR nominees! Unlike the actual Oscar telecast, I’ll keep these announcements short and sweet.

Best Asana

Salamba Sirsasana (Supported Headstand):  Yes, the ego pose pulled off a huge upset and took home the coveted Best Asana award. She wowed the crowds last night when she walked down the red yoga mat wearing a sexy-rexy fuschia racer back tank with a peek-a-boo open-front yoke design from Mondetta Performance Gear (MPG). The fashion police gave her a huge thumbs up for the bold color and just the right amount of cleav.

Best Supporting Asana

Vrksasana (Tree Pose):  Last year was all about balance and vrksasana helped so many people spread their branches and blossom in their yoga practices, that she was selected hands-up as Best Supporting asana.

Best Director

Everyone was a winner in this category! Clara, Freia, Deirdre, Kreg, Jan,  and Judi, thanks again for the amazing work you did this past year. We all have the ability to hand out affirmation each and every day, so remember to award the teachers in your life with a smile and thanks for the work they do.

Best Seva

I really want to thank those of you that commented and clued me in to the great work that is being done by Seane Corn and Off the Mat Into the World. I’m excited to learn even more about this organization and I plan to write about their work this year to thank and support them in their efforts. Take your yoga off the mat this year and into the world!

It was our inaugural year for the YOGAR awards and based on the response, and amount of fun I had with them, they’ll be back again next year!
