I like yoga, I LOVE eating gingerbread man cookies, and I have found my zen with these cute yoga-posing gingerbread men biscuits.
Yoga positions demonstrated by the ever-so flexible gingerbread men include the Downward Dog, Triangle, Plough, Wheel, Tree, Warrior, Spinal Twist, Lotus and Savasana (the pose of total relaxation).
They are made by Patti Paige and [...]
