On your birthday, you adored the orchid your mother brought you. But months later, it sits on your desk -- a flowerless, skinny mess of roots -- secretly mocking your inability to properly nurture and care for much besides your Myspace account. Truth is, you’re a perfectly nourishing human being...

On your birthday, you adored the orchid your mother brought you. But months later, it sits on your desk -- a flowerless, skinny mess of roots -- secretly mocking your inability to properly nurture and care for much besides your Myspace account. Truth is, you’re a perfectly nourishing human being who just needs a little instruction. With that, it’s time for yoga among the orchids at the American Orchid Society (16700 AOS Lane, Delray Beach). Relax and replenish the flower inside with an hour of breathing exercises, toning, and yoga poses under a canopy of lush orchids. This is orchid headquarters so pick up a few pointers from the pros in between sun salutations. Classes are Wednesdays at 9 a.m. Call 561-404-2011, or visit www.orchidweb.org. Cost is $20 and RSVP is suggested.
