HOT TOWN, SUMMER IN THE SIDDHI.
In Sanskrit, Siddhi translates as “perfection,” “accomplishment,” or “success.” Tantrikas consider a Siddhi to be any unusual skill, faculty or capability. Cat McCarthy explained this me as a superpower that already resides in you, rather than one you work towards attaining.

britney is so yoga right now.
  Before I write the yoga part of this post, let me first state that I love Britney.  No, really.
