Relearning How to Breathe (Upside-Down) in Delray Beach, FL

It seems like a simple enough process, breathing. Yet as you arch skyward in a cobra pose, you'll wonder if you’ve been doing it right all this time. Despite being in the historic Colony Hotel, which has been around since 1926, twisting yourself into poses that have been practiced for thousands of years, you get the feeling that you’re doing something brand new at Yoga Fox. Repeating the Vinyasa flow again and again, slicing through the creaky old hotel’s stagnant air, sweat drips off your nose and plops onto your mat, which is stretched over the uneven wooden floorboards. When you leave 90 minutes later, thoroughly jellified and slightly high, you realize that you never learned how to breathe—really breathe—after all.
