Yoga and more. . .


By Jannet Walsh

If you lost your job, like so many Americans, you might want to think about taking up exercise. Walking, swimming or just any exercise to get moving. Two years ago I visited the Amrit Yoga Institute and made an audio slide show. You might be inspired to add exercise to your job search schedule.

I found a story by Meghan Gibbons from The Washington Post about swimming that might help you get in the water. Here is the link.

Don't forget to file your unemployment claim on time!
