I still feel a bit sore in my body today because last Friday I did a weight workout with Tim. I resist resistance training. I don’t like weights. They smell funny and they’re heavy and I hate the counting and the shaking and the grunting and the dropping. It feels like slavery. It feels like … Continue reading At The Gym, With Tim

The Biggest Loser
I rushed to yoga this morning with my right contact inside out because I overslept. I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch the season finale of The Biggest Loser. I am/was shamefully addicted to this show! I know, I know… I know all the arguments for why I shouldn’t like it. I know … Continue reading The Biggest Loser
There’s No Place Like Home
“The only constant is change.” That quote is from Heraclitus. True dat. I went to Kripalu to “fill my cup” after the “30 Days for $30 Yoga Challenge.” . I needed lots of sleep, good food (that I did not have to prepare), and lots of yoga (that I did not have to lead.) For … Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home
Time Challenged
I have been really time challenged lately due to this 30 Day Yoga Challenge I am running at my studio. It's so inspiring though! I have a list, a backlog of stuff I will write about in May. But this morning I found this on a Twitter and it is so wonderful I had to … Continue reading Time Challenged
Getting through the April Yoga Challenge

I say: It's about getting enough sleep. I say: It's not really that hard, I groove on the energy of it! But it's … Continue reading Getting through the April Yoga Challenge
I am happiest around purple things
Just when I thought I couldn't bear winter another minute, this. Oh my.
Counting the Days
Today I am 20,517 days old. From now on I am giving up on years. I can't relate to years. I don't live my life in years so why should I count by years? I live my life in days. I got this idea to count my life in days from Peter Russell. I found … Continue reading Counting the Days
A Letter From My Self
This past New Year's Eve I hosted a free Yoga Nidra class at my studio. A whole bunch of cool people showed up, even though the day was bitter cold, and it had even snowed a few hours before, and the roads were very much less than ideal. I remember I even thought of cancelling … Continue reading A Letter From My Self
Switching Operating Systems
Sometimes I find it helpful to think of my brain as a computer. My body is the hardware, and I have an operating system like Windows XP, that runs all the software. This morning during my meditation I kept asking myself: Who is watching these thoughts? Who is interrupting them, noticing what is going on … Continue reading Switching Operating Systems
Why Tim Ferriss Is Both A Genius And An Asswipe
I really want to like Tim Ferris (author of The 4-Hour Workweek), but I don't. I kinda think he's an asswipe. But he's also a genius, and a lot of things in this book are so cool! So inspiring! So right on! I'm going to tell you about 4 things I read (so far) that … Continue reading Why Tim Ferriss Is Both A Genius And An Asswipe
