Yoga's Farr Out

Diane Farr went from magazine humorist to that wacky girl MTV’s Love Lines. Today you’ll catch a glimpse of her grown-up self on the heady drama Numb3rs (the new season started Friday, October 5, 2007!) As a mom to a newborn son, Farr and her yoga practice have evolved. Trained as a teacher in India, Farr has made yoga more convenient. Not only does she practice in her own backyard but she and a close circle of friends who moonlight as yoga teachers alternate leading class.

iYogaLife.com’s Dana Meltzer Zepeda observed Farr and friend (and lawyer) Miki, in a self-lead Ashtanga class. Read on to find out how Farr used to yoga to get her body in shape after birth. But that’s not all. Yoga flows help her be a balanced mother, creative actor and a patient L.A. driver.

Can you tell me about the deck your dad built?
My father was a contractor when I was growing up in this sort of very nouveau rich town on the south shore of Long Island where everybody’s dad was the vice president of something. They all got BMWs for their 16th birthday. I so wanted that father! Then you move to Los Angeles where nobody has any parents here and everybody needs my father!
