Being a champion yoga practitioner able to contort his body in amazing ways, he could find serenity in his flexibility.

What Chris Bopp couldn�"t do was control the weather � or the airlines.

The 21-year-old Pembroke resident, who owns Bikram Yoga in Quincy, planned to compete during the weekend in the International Yoga Championships in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the midweek snowstorm, though something of a dud, derailed his hopes. His flight out was canceled, and his efforts to head west Thursday and early Friday were stymied.

By the time Bopp�"s plane landed Friday evening, the qualifying rounds had already taken place. The event�"s organizers allowed him to perform his routine, but not as part of the competition.

Bopp, the reigning New England yoga champion, said it was still a positive experience. He also vowed to return.

Next time, he hopes, he�"ll be able to win some hardware.
