Okay, so tomorrow begins the 3rd Annual Yoga Challenge at my studio. Some people have expressed a desire to do a Yoga Challenge at home, and participate “virtually.” I think that is a great idea, and I want to support you! If you want to commit to 3o days of yoga for the month of [...]
Kicking March To The Curb
I do believe the April Yoga Challenge is now FILLED!! I am so excited. I spent some time this afternoon cleaning, orienting my Sunday teacher to the ventilation system, the sound system, the location of the toilet paper. G worked on the Excel Spreadsheet with all the names and the boxes for each of the [...]

The Weekend Wrap-up
The 8 Mile Run: We ran our longest run training run so far on Saturday. It was originally scheduled for 8 AM, but at 8 AM it was 18 degrees so we switched it to later in the day. We finished, thanks to great support from our”crew” and for me, to the great story-telling and [...]

I’m finished with Holosync
Right before I left for my training, my new level of Holosync came (I am starting Level 3). But this time when I opened the case expecting to find the usual 4 CDs, there were only 2. There was the first one, and the 5th one called “Floating,” which I don’t ever listen to. This [...]

Productive Pain
It felt like my body was made of rumble strips as I lay on the massage table today and LauraLee tried to smooth me out. I said, “I’m really trying not to seize up and armor against your touch, but it’s hard.” She said, “It’s okay to experience some productive pain.” That concept of “productive [...]

One Blessed Day to Transition
I am getting better at this transition thing. Used to be, I’d get home and just hit the ground running: start wash #1, answer emails, make phone calls, teach my classes, start wash #2, grocery shop, run errands. Used to be, I’d know, intellectually, that my trainings would be intense, but I’d tell myself it [...]

Day 2 in Yoganand’s Playground
It’s fun, but exhausting. As expected, we attempted all kinds of impossible postures today, and it was really quite amusing (and somewhat alarming) to see what is actually possible. I partnered with Kim for the morning and we had a blast doing (or approximating) Mariachyasana and Locust and Supta Baddha Konasana. It’s very playful, this [...]

YTT Day 1
I am sitting in the Best Western in King of Prussia, munching on Mary’s Gone Crackers, sipping water and reflecting on the day that is coming to a close. There are a lot of things on my gratitude list so let’s start there: 1. Sun. Today was sunny, mild, and totally life-affirming. I drove east [...]
