This evening I have a very special co host Elsie from Elsie's Yoga Class: Live and Unplugged Podcast at www.elsiesyogakula.com. Elsie was a listener to my typical pc user podcast and has since become a switcher. Tonight Elsie and I are going to have a great time talking about some things you don't normally hear about in a MacGeek podcast like this one. We are going to talk about Yoga, Technology, Philosophy and some great Mac Applications that can keep all of us balanced and centered in our Geekdom while still being able to live very full lives.

 

Welcome to the show Eslie.

 

• General talk about Yoga and Philosophy

 

• Victor will ask the audience what they yoga is, and Victor will share what he thinks it is. Elsie will

tell us what it really is.

 

 

• Elsie here I would like to talk in general about Yoga, it's philosphy in a very 101 way and how it pertains to the MacGeek (find a tie in).

 

• Also how can we take Yogi philosphy and use it in our everyday life including of course using podcast and technology to be healthier.

 

• Lastly we will want to engage the audience in this segment so we can ask what questions they have or for comments from listeners of your show or practicing people what advice they have. The point is to engage the live audience.

 

 

• Talk about some health related and Yogi related Mac applications and sites
