YTT Day 1
I am sitting in the Best Western in King of Prussia, munching on Mary's Gone Crackers, sipping water and reflecting on the day that is coming to a close. There are a lot of things on my gratitude list so let's start there: 1. Sun. Today was sunny, mild, and totally life-affirming. I drove east … Continue reading YTT Day 1
Wine
There is a glass of wine sitting here on the coffee table, waiting for me to finish this post. It's Jargon Pinot Noir, if you must know. It's Friday night and I just had a super Happy Hour Yoga class with all my right people. I just love it when my right people show up. … Continue reading Wine

20,810 Days Old
Today's my birthday so I'm going to make this kinda short tonight. This is how my day unfolded: Got up and went to the studio at 6 AM and did ashtanga.

I am sitting on the couch, in my jammies, a glass of Pinot at my elbow, and a little dish of those little chocolate … Continue reading Being Home
A Mitzvah
When I sit down and write these blog posts I like to be in a state of calm equanimity—or for you yoga people out there—I like to write when I’m “sattvic.” But tonight I am writing in the “jazzed” rajasic state because I just got home from my “Donate Food for the Local Food Pantry … Continue reading A Mitzvah
The Courage to Appear Weak
Today is December 1st and I did my ashtanga practice this morning for the first time since my injury almost a month ago. It wasn’t perfect, but it felt soooo gooood. I found myself being much kinder to myself, finding my inability to do certain things interesting rather than maddening. When I got home from … Continue reading The Courage to Appear Weak
