Telluride's primary Ashtanga teacher, Victoria Hoffman, arrived in town with husband Todd and son Max in 1999. Victoria, a former dancer and model, began practicing yoga as a teenager. She was first exposed to the Ashtanga lineage in 1995, when her teacher was Wayne Kraffner. Since then, Guruji, as Patabhi Jois was known in life, Annie Pace and Tim Miller have been her primary Ashtanga instructors. Miller, the first American certified to teach by Pattabhi Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India, is coming to town for a weekend intensive for all levels of practitioners.

Home base for Annelore is a charming little women's shop near the Meatpacking District in New York's West Village. The business survived the blight on the neighborhood of indie shops thanks to a loyal following of trend-setting customers, attracted to investment clothes.
In Telluride, around the globe, who doesn't like a feel-good story about the triumph of the underdog, especially in times like these, when underdogs are really under the weather – and almost everybody is an underdog. That's why movies like "Breaking Away," "Rocky" and "Strictly Ballroom" get standing ovations even from the most jaundiced audience.
So Telluride, let's hear it for the girls: a local fiber artist and a local sculptor are winners at the World of Wearable Art Awards Show in New Zealand. But we will let Amy Jean Boebel and Sue Hobby tell it in their own words. See next page.
Note: Their garments were flashed on the screen at the International Media Breakfast.

After 26 hours of travel, we got to Wellington at 10 am.
The day we got in we went to the dress rehearsal for the show - it is held in a huge space and was packed with people taking advantage of the discounted tickets. The show runs two hours long without an intermission which they alert the audience to - so the bladder challenged can scoot out. Sue, Luci, Jeanie, Helen and I bought a bottle of champagne and some cups and settled into the second row in front.
There are seven catagories of garments and our section, "Folded," includes 29 outfits. In total, there are about 165 pieces worn by 40 models
