To truly enjoy the Thanksgiving meal, we think you need work up a bit of an appetite. In years past, we've enjoyed a Thursday morning ultimate frisbee game down at Woodland Park, some touch football at Gas Works and even a bit of four-square and dodgeball at the John Stanford School playground once. The food certainly tastes better for this key piece of preparation. Lisa Steele wrote to let us know she's offering another alternative: I'm a yoga teacher @ yogalife…

More stretch for less

Back in June, I wrote about Sutra Yoga (1605 N. 45th St.)--the cozy little neighborhood yoga studio sandwiched in between the 45th Street Clinic and Sutra Restaurant.  Well today, Chris alerted us to Tippr's daily deal for Sutra:  $20 for three weeks of unlimited classes. Twenty bucks!  Normally, I pay $65 for a 5-class card! Grab the deal folks, because this is one of the best discounts I've seen so far.  Better hurry, too--the Sutra Yoga offer on Tippr ends in…

Frolicking Fun this Friday at the Fremont 5K

The Fremont 5K is easily my most favorite road race in town--it's convenient, it's mostly flat, the weather's usually mild, and it has a beer garden. Undoubtedly, the most humorous part of the event is watching the participants in the Briefcase Relay that takes place just prior to the 5K Walk/Run.  Teams of five are dressed in business attire from the waist up, and each team member runs a kilometer carrying the team's briefcase which, until this year, held the Seattle…
