Forgot my toothbrush, my floss, and my bathrobe. Not too bad. Except that tonight after a mind-blowing and body-blowing Yoganand workout, I found myself staggering around Wawa looking for a toothbrush. Those of you familiar with Wawa know that toiletries aren't really their big sellers. I found a cheapo toothbrush, complete with a little paste, … Continue reading Sweat Fest

Getting My Drawers In A Bunch
Tomorrow morning I will drive down to King of Prussia (in heavy rain, apparently) for another 5 day Training with Yoganand. Today I have been doing my books, writing my October rent check and, so far, just mentally packing. I can't believe I still get the jitters every time I anticipate these trainings. They're so … Continue reading Getting My Drawers In A Bunch
Transitions Can Be A Bitch
Everytime I came here to write last week, the page ate my words as I wrote them. (Or was it just that pesky "delete" key?) I wanted to write about how the full Harvest moon knocked me to my knees, and about how I was drowning in mountains of summer and fall clothing, each begging … Continue reading Transitions Can Be A Bitch
Inspiration Bonanza
You ever have one of those weeks where you keep bumping into people and things that amp your vibe? Yeah, well that's what happened to me this week. It started with this blog post by Chris Brogan where he talks about people who just do "what needs done." And they do it with love. "Because … Continue reading Inspiration Bonanza
Friday Gratitude
This week I am grateful for: My velvet comforter. (Yum. The nights are getting chilly.) That the ventilation system in the studio was fixed. (Holy "Hot Yoga," this week, Batman!) Yin Yoga --both being able to teach it, and my private practice of it. My awesome pranayama runs this week (every day!!) Nasal breathing is … Continue reading Friday Gratitude
Yin and Yang: A Story of Two Yogas
Morning yoga, as predicted, has been shelving off pretty dramatically lately: cool, dark, foggy mornings do not inspire early rising. There are only 2 more mornings left of 6:15 yoga classes, then morning yoga goes away until April. When I got to the studio on Wednesday, no one was there, so I decided to do … Continue reading Yin and Yang: A Story of Two Yogas
Costume Changes
1. Pajamas to yoga clothes. 2. Yoga clothes to running clothes. 3. Running clothes to gardening clothes. 4. Gardening clothes to dog walking clothes. 5. Dog walking clothes to sacred writing pants. 6. Sacred writing pants to (shower) and then back to (different) yoga clothes. 7. Yoga clothes to pajamas. Am I the only one … Continue reading Costume Changes
Easing Into Fall
So just a short post tonight so I can get some sleep before my alarm clock starts tweeting little birdy sounds in the dark at 4:30 in the morning. Seasonal update: It's getting colder. How do I know this? I had to wear gloves on my pranyama run this morning. And a little hat. And … Continue reading Easing Into Fall
An 18-Day Experiment
Yesterday while I was practicing my new Fall Flow sequence and I was sweating and feeling a little awkward, it suddenly occurred to me that in a measly 18 days I am going to the Yoganand-a-Thon and I am NOT READY! Not that I ever feel entirely ready for the rigors of training with Yoganand, … Continue reading An 18-Day Experiment
Tired and Heading to Bed
Some nights I am brain dead and this is one of them. Maybe a just quick "Friday Gratitude" post? This week I am grateful for: My heavenly Labor Day vacation at the beach. The return of my yoga students. Yin Yoga, both at home and at the studio. This great book I'm reading called Yoga … Continue reading Tired and Heading to Bed
