Um, if you're vegan you should stay away from these sausages. Despite being labeled "made from soy" and shelved with the vegan meat alternatives, they are actually "made from soy and egg" and include egg white powder as one of the main ingredients. Deceptive labeling = -1 point for Trade Joes.

Victor--I love your MLK playlists. They're so inspiring. I've copied some of his speeches to play for my class. Thanks! Kai

Aren’t humans amazing? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.

Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.

So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions of more animals to look for cures for these diseases.

Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.

Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and once a year send out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."

There are 3 things people love to stare at: a moving stream of water, a fire burning in a fireplace and a big Zamboni going round and around.

Ant,
If you like the mock meat, also check out Tofurky sausage which is also at TJs. Same story re: sodium but the taste is fantastic and versatile. Great with sauteed onions and multicolored bell peppers! Enjoy!

I loved the sing-a-long yoga class too. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket and in some yoga poses I can barely remember to breathe, let alone sing, but none of that stopped me from having an absolute blast. There is something very special about singing together. Thanks everyone for sharing the experience.

I am still grinning ear to ear every time I think of Sing-Along Yoga. Besides being the most fun yoga class EVER, the act of singing had a really positive effect on the intensity and flow of each yoga pose; we HAD to breath well in order to sing. It was pretty impressive how Victor managed to put together the most perfect music for this most perfect class. We were all ages and everyone was clearly thrilled by his choices- there were even moments of applause! The surprise of Sing-Along Yoga was like a gift... Christmas/Chanukah, Birthday, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day all rolled into one! ~ Jill

Ken and I had a blast at the yoga-sing-a-thon. It was fun and funny. Singing while doing yoga suppressed that little voice that often intrudes on my practice. I didn't know a lot of the words to the songs, but la la la did the trick.

2009-08-08T12:01:18.802-07:00

This was the most liberating yoga class I've ever experienced. I was tentative at first, unsure of how much everyone, especially me, would simply let go and SING! But the playlist was flawless and as soon as the first song came on by Stevie Wonder the excitment for what we were about to experience together could be felt throughout the loft.
Soon enough, as one song was beginning to end I found myself pumped with anticipation to hear what the next great song was going to be. When Lean on Me came on by Bill Withers, it felt like we were all bealting the lyrics out from our hearts and I couldn't help but tear up from the feeling of pure release I felt in that moment.
Afterward I went over to a friends house and immediately told them all about it. They are not yogis by any means, but at the sight of my big smile and description they soon started saying, "I wanna go to a Sing Along Yoga Class!!"
I can't wait for the next one and I'll be spreading the word now so we can experience this wonderful class with even more people next time. See you all then!

I had so much fun teaching this class. I often want to sing along during classes and it was so great to get to do it and really go for it! As I said in class, singing is a yoga practice and last night we all practiced really well. See you at the next sing along!-Victor
