Reading The Brothers Karamazov (and other grinds)
I have been struggling with The Bros K. but today, today I may have broken through. Things started to shift in Part 1, Book 3 for me. I couldn't get past the whining and the histrionics of the beginning chapters, not to mention all the impossible-to-keep-track-of Russian names. When I can't hear a name in … Continue reading Reading The Brothers Karamazov (and other grinds)
Why Would I Do Such A Thing?
The other day Linda, someone who’s been practicing at my studio for as long as I’ve been in business, announced she’s going to do the April Yoga Challenge this year. For the first time. (This will be the 12th year I’ve offered it.) “Why now?” I asked her. She didn’t give me an answer. I … Continue reading Why Would I Do Such A Thing?

It’s on. Bring it.
Today is April fool's day. The first day of the Yoga Challenge. A rainy, cold, and crappy day. I had to get up and get going. I had to be "on.” Lots of "on." First-day- of-Yoga-Challenge "on." Class started slow, then amped up. With lots of breathing. Breathing is hard. Harder than it should be, … Continue reading It’s on. Bring it.
Doing the April Yoga Challenge as a Project or a Streak
You can do he April Yoga Challenge as a Project or a Streak. I make the distinction between the two in my book, The Project-Driven Life. A "Project" is persistence toward a goal. A project requires a commitment. You're excited about it, yes, but you also know there'll be hard parts where you'll just need … Continue reading Doing the April Yoga Challenge as a Project or a Streak
