Thanksgiving: they say stretching is important before a workout...

I figure many of you may already be en route to family holiday (dys =)fun, but I thought you'd appreciate this little find anyhow. If you're staying Boston-local, maybe you can take advantage of it yourself, and if not perhaps you can pass it on to friends who are staying in Bostonia for turkeypalooza.

Yoga In The Square in Davis Square is hosting a "Pre-Thanksgiving Stretch & Flow Class with Chanel Luck" Thursday morning at 10am. I dunno nothin bout no Chanel Luck, but I'm intrigued by the idea. Transcribing from the flyer I picked up (cuz I'm waiting on some files to upload for a client just now =)...

Get your yoga groove on and your belly ready for Thanksgiving Dinner.

For the first time ever on the east coast—Chanel teaches a Thanksgiving Benefit music inspired class designed for all levels. It is the perfect time to introduce a friend or relative to yoga. This event is usually held in Los Angeles each Thanksgiving, so please come out and make the first Boston event a success and a new tradition.

All you need to bring is yourself and a monetary donation to our Community Soul Cause for this event: Casa De Milagros in Peru, a sacred home for over 30 Peruvian Orphans. For more information, visit www.chandlersky.org.

As a sort of sideways Thanksgiving good wish, I leave you with my annual holiday-appropriate FAT ALBERT bit of genius...

Rudy, you're like school on Thanksgiving... No class, jive turkey!

May your Thursday be tryptophantastic, and your Friday none more black. Y'know, in a good way.

Keep on keepin on~

p.s. Pitbull pardons turkey!

... just not the ones that appear in the video. Beware, not graphic, but not pleasant for the faint of heart/turkey fans.
