My studio got robbed on Friday night during the Happy Hour yoga class. The thieves took about $1300.00 in cash and checks. I feel nauseous as I write this. And stupid for leaving that little green purse (not a bank bag) with my month’s income on my desk, but I was teaching class in the … Continue reading Robbed

What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Last week I finished reading Gretchin Rubin's The Happiness Project and now I am deeply involved in Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and I went to the new Victoria theater in Blossburg and saw the movie Social Network and today the plumber was here all day installing a new kitchen sink and faucet.

Pudding, Podcasts and a New Series of Beginner Yoga
Let me start with the pudding. It was rice. Made with milk and half-and-half and sugar and I stirred it endlessly and carefully and tenderly and added vanilla and raisins and cinnamon at the end.

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!

The Solace of a Well-Nourished Practice
Yesterday, while I was having a whole battery of shots needled into my gums and the roof of my mouth, I wondered this: What do people in these kind of situations do if they don't have a practice? My periodontist is pretty cool. As he was shooting me up, he led me into a little … Continue reading The Solace of a Well-Nourished Practice

So.... Today I built a new blog here on WordPress. It's called … Continue reading No More Yoga Talk Here
The Virtual Yoga Challenge
Okay, so tomorrow begins the 3rd Annual Yoga Challenge at my studio. Some people have expressed a desire to do a Yoga Challenge at home, and participate "virtually." I think that is a great idea, and I want to support you! If you want to commit to 3o days of yoga for the month of … Continue reading The Virtual Yoga Challenge
Kicking March To The Curb
I do believe the April Yoga Challenge is now FILLED!! I am so excited. I spent some time this afternoon cleaning, orienting my Sunday teacher to the ventilation system, the sound system, the location of the toilet paper. G worked on the Excel Spreadsheet with all the names and the boxes for each of the … Continue reading Kicking March To The Curb
