The other day my 167 day yoga streak, the one I kept track of in that journal up there, came to an end. That's almost 6 months of daily practice. Over. I'm sad about it. Really sad. If you're a regular here, you know I write about streaks a lot. I am, by nature, a … Continue reading 167 Day Yoga Streak Ends

Feeling My Mettle
The other night I led Bakasana (Crow) prep poses, but when we got to the actual POSE, I really couldn't hold it for very long. Two of my younger, more bendy students were rocking it though, and even trying advanced variations. I was trying to help them achieve some of these variations, but I couldn't … Continue reading Feeling My Mettle
The First Post of the New Year
It's been a slow day. Kind of introspective. Spent a lot of time going back through archives just to see what I was resolving to do this time last year. This is the day of resolutions and I like resolutions, but I always wind up not doing them. I don't feel bad about that mostly, … Continue reading The First Post of the New Year

Yet Another Post About Streaking
I am currently nursing along a little baby yoga streak. As of today, it's 18 days old. (It could have been 23 days old except that on Day 5, I skipped a day and had to start over, according to The (My) Rules.) I am going up to my home yoga room every day and … Continue reading Yet Another Post About Streaking
The Mark of a Warrior
It has now been almost two weeks since I returned from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika training I took with Yoganand at Jai Yoga in Philadelphia. After that training I started changing a lot of things in my life, namely: my practice, my food, and the intensity of my cardio workouts. In the space of two … Continue reading The Mark of a Warrior
5 Things To Do While You Figure Out What You Want to Be When You Grow Up
I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was 51 years old. When I finally found “my thing" it wasn't the thing I thought it would be, and it certainly wasn’t anything anyone would ever pay me to do. But by that point, I didn't really care about money. … Continue reading 5 Things To Do While You Figure Out What You Want to Be When You Grow Up
Breaking A Streak
My longest streak lasted 428 days. I did Holosync for 428 days straight and then it ended. It was a deliberate end. I didn't just "forget." I ordered what I thought was the next level (Level 3) and when I opened the box, they had sent me just the intro cd. My reaction was: WTF???!! … Continue reading Breaking A Streak
The Benefits of Streaking
So if we define "streaking" as a daily practice of tending to a thing that keeps us aligned with our dharma, or our core values, or our life mission, it stands to reason that the doing of that thing is going to promote calmness in us. Because when we are not in alignment, there is … Continue reading The Benefits of Streaking
Picking Your Streak Thing
Another way of picking your "streak thing" is to think back to a time when you were doing something regularly and feeling great about it, and yourself. You were living in sync with yourself and your highest values, but for some reason you stopped doing it. You're always saying that you need to start doing … Continue reading Picking Your Streak Thing
