The Vegetarians of Washington, which Kim and I are members of, sponsor free classes that include yoga, nutrition and cooking. The class we went to today was at Whole Life Yoga in Greenwood.
The yoga section was a really good class. Kim even liked it and she’s kinda picky about what yoga classes she likes. The nutrition section was all about how a vegetarian lifestyle is healthier. It was very informative, but I knew most of the stuff already. There’s a good general overview of the basics of why to go vegetarian on many websites, but this little lecture had a lot of citations of medical studies that were fun to see. The cooking demo didn’t happen because some of food was forgotten, but that was okay because I was ready to go and we got tofutti chocolate as a consolation gift.
Kim and I are planning on going to Veg Fest this year to help out and give Kim a chance to meet some good vegetarian chefs – and to eat a lot of really good food of course.
I enjoyed the yoga as well. I would consider going back to that instructor but I bet it’s expensive. I didn’t exactly find the presentation afterwards to be informative. Some of it I already knew (health/environment) and some of it was untrue (“eating meat is unnatural because we are evolved from herbivores”). What do you think of the organization and delivery of his speech? I thought it was one of the worst presentations I’ve ever seen.
