Today it’s 100 degrees at the beach and there are thousands of bodies parading around in front of me wearing next to nothing. It’s a good day to watch bodies. I read a stat recently that said that 60% of Americans are overweight. From my beach chair vantage, I’d say that’s about right. The people … Continue reading Watching Bodies at the Beach
What’s a Vacation?
I’m on vacation. Here’s what my vacation looked like this morning: Here’s what it looked like a few hours later: I’m on a crowded beach in Rehoboth, DE. It’s 100 degrees. It’s “Where’s Waldo?” out here. Family dysfunction is on full display It’s probably the last place you’d expect to find me (your yoga teacher) … Continue reading What’s a Vacation?
Walking the Yard
Yesterday I taught my 6 AM yoga class, lifted weights with Tim at the gym, spent an hour with Holosync. Then I took a 30 minute killer Spin class with Amy, ate lunch, did some housework while listening to the This American Life podcast, showered, and taught my 5:30 yoga class. This morning I put … Continue reading Walking the Yard
Losing It, And Getting It Back
Yesterday morning, in prep for my ‘Krashtanga” class I did the Primary Series. Halfway through the standing sequence I realized that I had lost it. I had lost my practice. After so many months practicing Ashtanga with Christine 4 mornings a week, this past May I was finally able to grab my toe in Ardha … Continue reading Losing It, And Getting It Back
The Zap
I just got finished reading The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. Nothing new in this book in terms of content, but what clarity! Now, I am an avid reader of spirituality books. I’m a big fan of Krishnamurti and Eckhart Tolle, for instance, but there is always something opaque in these books for me; … Continue reading The Zap
The Dominant Doe Goes With The Flow
Because I like to control things, and because I dislike indecisiveness, my hunterly friends call me a “Dominant Doe.” (Apparently if you hunt doe, and are able to pick out the “dominant” one in the herd, you will be able to predict where the herd will head when they decide to high-tail it out of … Continue reading The Dominant Doe Goes With The Flow
Hooked on Holosync: The Top 6 Reasons Why I Do Holosync
Lately, every time I Twitter or Facebook that I am going up to my space chair to Holosync, somebody writes, “Huh? What’s Holosync?” So this post will be my “answer.” I’m not going to go into what Holosync is, though. You can find out about it here. Suffice it to say that it is a … Continue reading Hooked on Holosync: The Top 6 Reasons Why I Do Holosync
At The Gym, With Tim
I still feel a bit sore in my body today because last Friday I did a weight workout with Tim. I resist resistance training. I don’t like weights. They smell funny and they’re heavy and I hate the counting and the shaking and the grunting and the dropping. It feels like slavery. It feels like … Continue reading At The Gym, With Tim
The Biggest Loser
I rushed to yoga this morning with my right contact inside out because I overslept. I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch the season finale of The Biggest Loser. I am/was shamefully addicted to this show! I know, I know… I know all the arguments for why I shouldn’t like it. I know … Continue reading The Biggest Loser
There’s No Place Like Home
“The only constant is change.” That quote is from Heraclitus. True dat. I went to Kripalu to “fill my cup” after the “30 Days for $30 Yoga Challenge.” . I needed lots of sleep, good food (that I did not have to prepare), and lots of yoga (that I did not have to lead.) For … Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home
