Also in Boston, stayed at the fabulous Clarendon Square Inn on West Brookline Street in Back Bay. I highly recommend it.

Spent a lovely spring weekend in Boston for the Yoga Journal conference with Nico Jenkins. Had the opportunity to take a few classes and very much enjoyed lectures with Rod Stryker and Richard Freeman.
