This blog is my platform. Every day I step up on it and I say something. I sort of "busk" on it. I don't have a hat, but I do make a bid for your attention. I make an offering. I put something out into the world. Some small thing. Most days less than 1000 … Continue reading Today This Is How It Rolled
Hatchet: Buried.
During April I had a “secret Metta friend.” I picked one of my yoga challengers and every time I saw her (which was every day) I said to her in my mind: "May you be happy, May you be peaceful, May you be free." Free from what? Free from anxiety and worry, free from everything … Continue reading Hatchet: Buried.
Crazy Puppet Blogger
I need to figure out what this blog is about. I am writing it everyday, which is now up to, what? some 70 days in a row? But it still hasn't found its niche or its voice yet. I feel like a puppeteer. I can give voices to different parts of my personality. I have … Continue reading Crazy Puppet Blogger
Sedona Red Clay Wrap
Today I went to Emerge and had a new experience: A wrap. First I was massaged front and back with rough silk gloves garshana-style. Then came the application of the red clay which went on like silk. I was then wrapped, first in sheets, then covered with a blanket, then enshrouded in a mylar blanket. … Continue reading Sedona Red Clay Wrap
Name It!
Yesterday on Facebook I posted that now that it is May, it's time for a new Challenge. Someone commented: "Just name it." And I was thinking about this. I think I am being asked to say something like: "Yoga 5 days a week. No excuses!" Maybe they want me to set up a Facebook accountability … Continue reading Name It!
The Lone Nut No More
Today I slept in, wrote, took a walk with G and Boomer, taught Happy Hour yoga. It was a soft day. It is the first of May and the weather is finally, starting to drastically improve. The Challenge is over and while it was wonderful, it was still exhausting. At the end we sat around … Continue reading The Lone Nut No More
The Last Day of the Yoga Challenge
Oh, I am so very tired. It is almost midnight and I just got back from the Yoga Challenge Party which was so wonderful, as usual. I will write more about it tomorrow but I will leave you with a picture. I don't want to break my streak here! There are 2 people missing: Sarah … Continue reading The Last Day of the Yoga Challenge
Emotions.
Tomorrow at this time, the Yoga Challenge at Main St Yoga will be over for another year. One of the Challengers, and a fellow blogger, posted this on her blog today. She's a terrific writer and her words touched me. Quite the testimonial, no? Thank you, Brittany! Much love.
The Matter of Your Yoga Mat
When a student walks into my studio without a mat, the first thing I think is: newbie. Not that there is anything wrong with being a newbie. We all started as newbies. But the thing about walking into a yoga studio without a mat is, unless you are traveling, it means that you really haven’t … Continue reading The Matter of Your Yoga Mat
