Day 30: De-Throning The Iguana

April 30, 2010April 30, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 2 Comments

I am sitting here at 1 PM on the afternoon of the last day of the 30 Day Yoga Challenge.  Only one more class left, a little party after that, and it will be over.  Tomorrow it will be May. Two people made it to the studio every single day this month.  Lots made it … Continue reading Day 30: De-Throning The Iguana

Guest Post: Jennifer Schmid

April 29, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 7 Comments

This is a Guest Post by Jennifer Schmid (www.jenniferschmid.com) who used to practice at Main Street Yoga before moving to California 2 years ago.  While she was here, we taught a 6-Week Yoga for Weight Loss session, which I have to say, was one of the absolute highlights of my collaborative teaching experiences.  Jennifer did … Continue reading Guest Post: Jennifer Schmid

Day 28: Getting Good At Yoga

April 28, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 4 Comments

I asked my class last night what they had learned, if anything, from the Yoga Challenge. I got blank stares. "Are you getting any better at yoga?" I asked Then they started pointing to defined biceps, and saying how they could finally do a Chaturanga, and hold plank without their arms quivering like jello. The … Continue reading Day 28: Getting Good At Yoga

Day 27: The Spirituality of Whimsicality

April 27, 2010April 28, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 11 Comments

As a yoga teacher, the hardest and most terrifying class for me to teach is the first day of Beginner Yoga.  The students walk in pale, fat, worried, neurotic, clutching their little bottles of Dasani like they're some totemic objects that will protect them from weird, patchouli smelling Hindu spirits, and me. I don't claim … Continue reading Day 27: The Spirituality of Whimsicality

Day 26: The End Is Near

April 26, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 13 Comments

This is a picture of me being hoisted aloft at the End of the Challenge Party last year.  I found it as I was going through the archives today.  In a few days, there will be another party, another toast to our tribe, our yoga sangha, and all of our efforts this month. Why do … Continue reading Day 26: The End Is Near

Day 25: The Last Sunday

April 25, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 3 Comments

I just got home from the last Sunday class at the studio led by Brenna.  **sniff** The month is very quickly coming to an end.  This Friday will be the last day of the Yoga Challenge. I hope everyone will come to the party on Friday. (And hey there, you Virtuals??  I see you out … Continue reading Day 25: The Last Sunday

Day 24: Smart Keys

April 24, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 4 Comments

My Prius has something called a "smart key."  I don't have to unlock the door with this key, or stick it in the ignition.  I just have to have it on me--in my pocket or my bag--and the car senses it and opens the door when I touch the handle, and starts when I push … Continue reading Day 24: Smart Keys

Day 23: Hitting the Wall

April 23, 2010April 23, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 5 Comments

There's been a marked drop-off in class attendance the past few days.  I think people are starting to hit the yoga wall.  It's hard keeping up a daily practice.  I know.  I really do.  There have been days this month that, if I weren't the teacher, I would have slept in, or kept the afternoon … Continue reading Day 23: Hitting the Wall

Day 22: An Interview with Jes Ricker

April 22, 2010April 22, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 6 Comments

During last year's Yoga Challenge I watched Jes Ricker, owner of Night and Day Coffee Cafe, transform herself.  She became dedicated to her practice, which then started her on a dramatic trajectory of transformation, which is continuing to this day.  I asked her to tell me how this all came about, in the hopes that … Continue reading Day 22: An Interview with Jes Ricker

Day 21: If It’s Not Fun…

April 21, 2010April 21, 2010 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 6 Comments

Here's the motto I try to live by: "If it's not fun, it's not done." Now, I know that everything is not "fun," but the challenge is to see if you can find a way to make something that's inherently dreary, or hard, or painful or boring, fun.  This can really challenge your imagination at … Continue reading Day 21: If It’s Not Fun…

January has five Mondays. You've only missed one. Let's do this. https://main-street-yoga.heymarvelous.com/calendar
We picked our words! Mine is MUSCLE and G’s is VIGOR. Look out 2023, here we come!
You don't do yoga for you. You do it for your kids, your parents, your co-workers, your partner---everyone you connect with during your day. Everything goes better when you're calm and present. You know it's true. So, do it for them. Every Tuesday, there's a Gentle Yoga class at 5:30. So why don't you stop. Breathe. And take an hour to remember what's truly important. https://main-street-yoga.heymarvelous.com/calendar
November 30: Let's end this month with a practice you could do everyday, it's that wonderful. Bookmark this one. Memorize it, and make it your own. If you've been playing along all month, congrats! You completed thirty days of yoga. Now keep the streak going!
