Ever since I got home from my latest yoga training I have been really amped up and sparkling with devotion. I have been getting into my yoga room every morning for intense pranayam, postures and meditation. Yesterday during my meditation I had a panic attack. My "To Do" list suddenly loomed up in my mind … Continue reading Who Do You Think You Are?

So Totally Predictable
Predictably, I am posting today. Why? Because it's the first of the month, that's why! New Beginning! Fresh Slate! (oh geez. how many times have I done this?) There is also some kind of contest thingy called Post a Day(?), or something, going on at BlogHer too, and because I am a sucker for that … Continue reading So Totally Predictable
The Commandments of Yoga
Last night I started 17 people on a 6-week program of Beginner Yoga. I love teaching beginners, even though they are very fragile and I have to be careful with them for a few weeks until they get over the heebie-jeebies. I think long and hard about what I talk to them about, what I … Continue reading The Commandments of Yoga
Robbed
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. And last … Continue reading What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
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. I followed the recipe in the Cook's Illustrated Cookbook, which, as I've mentioned before, is the Scientific American of cookbooks. … Continue reading Pudding, Podcasts and a New Series of Beginner Yoga
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! Not that I ever feel entirely ready for the rigors of training with Yoganand, … Continue reading An 18-Day Experiment
Yoga Class Tonight
A whole lotta people showed up for tonight's drop-in yoga class. There were a few brand new people, some kinda new people, and some regulars. I had 8 mats set up and 13 people showed up. Love it when that happens. Love new people! Love old people! Love kinda new people! (Hate it when the … Continue reading Yoga Class Tonight
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
No More Yoga Talk Here

So.... Today I built a new blog here on WordPress. It's called … Continue reading No More Yoga Talk Here
