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

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

Not that I ever feel entirely ready for the rigors of training with Yoganand, … Continue reading An 18-Day Experiment

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

Love it when that happens. Love new people! Love old people! Love kinda new people! (Hate it when the … Continue reading Yoga Class Tonight
Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
The weekend at the beach was perhaps the best time I ever had there. The weather was perfect, the water temperature was 70 degrees warm, the surf was amazing--strong and forceful and foamy. Our place was just "eh" but it was 100 steps from the beach and tucked away behind Rehoboth's only Juice Bar, so … Continue reading Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
