From the Archives: Starr Struck's Best Yoga Content

One of the weird things about writing a blog is that you put ALL of this content out there (5-7 days per week for 4 years!), and then most of it just kind of gets lost in the archives.

For some of my content, I'm glad it has disappeared (especially those early posts, eek!!!), but for other pieces, it's kind of sad.

Along those lines, I recently got a request from a new reader asking me to shine some light on past posts that she might have missed...and thus, today's post was born! 

Since I want my new readers to get the full "Starr Struck Experience," and because I feel that there is so much lost content out there in the internet ether, I've decided to start doing these "From the Archives" roundups every once in a while, to ensure that my oldies-but-goodies still get some love.
