The Spirituality of Whimsicality

April 4, 2017 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

(This is an older post) As a yoga teacher, the hardest and most terrifying class for me to teach is the first day of Beginner Yoga. The students walk in pale, fat, worried, neurotic, clutching their little bottles of Dasani like they’re some totemic objects that will protect them from weird, patchouli smelling Hindu spirits, … Continue reading The Spirituality of Whimsicality

It’s on. Bring it.

April 1, 2017 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

Today is April fool's day. The first day of the Yoga Challenge. A rainy, cold, and crappy day. I had to get up and get going. I had to be "on.”  Lots of "on." First-day- of-Yoga-Challenge "on." Class started slow, then amped up.  With lots of breathing. Breathing is hard. Harder than it should be, … Continue reading It’s on. Bring it.

The Yoga Teacher As Skunk

March 3, 2017March 3, 2017 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

When there’s no skunk ominously parading by to snap me to attention, my mind logs off. With no one watching me I practice like a test pattern: steady but boring.

Doing the April Yoga Challenge as a Project or a Streak

March 23, 2016 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

You can do he April Yoga Challenge as a Project or a Streak. I make the distinction between the two in my book, The Project-Driven Life. A "Project" is persistence toward a goal. A project requires a commitment. You're excited about it, yes, but you also know there'll be hard parts where you'll just need … Continue reading Doing the April Yoga Challenge as a Project or a Streak

The Sugar Project is Over

February 19, 2016 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 3 Comments

I kicked sugar. I really did. All cravings are gone. Poof!

It’s All About Energy

July 5, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

Do you ever dream about what it would feel like to max out as a human being? Use yourself up completely? I wonder about that a lot. I am fascinated with people like Tim Ferris of The 4-Hour Workweek and Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines. Those guys seem to be living so much larger than … Continue reading It’s All About Energy

Tending Things

May 28, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 1 Comment

We tend gardens. And children. And some of us tend to the sick. Today I tended to my bills, my accounts, my business. I watered the plants, switched the pictures around on the walls, dusted the sills, folded all the blankets and lined them up neatly on the rack. I tended my meditation practice, and … Continue reading Tending Things

Yoga and the Apple Watch

May 18, 2015May 18, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

Is there anything more obnoxious than a person checking their phone in yoga class? I have seen it happen. Not in MY yoga classes. Oh no. That would not stand. I catch you checking your phone in class? I'll rip that thing out of your hand, bitch. Don't even think about it. But in classes … Continue reading Yoga and the Apple Watch

6 Things That Made Me Happy Today

May 13, 2015May 13, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 8 Comments

1. My yoga studio. How crazy is it that I own a yoga studio? Sometimes I just cannot believe it. I walked in there at 7 this morning to do my personal practice, all bleary-eyed and tired, and walked out all energized and ready for the day. 2. Vince, my trainer. I write about Vince … Continue reading 6 Things That Made Me Happy Today

A Good Yoga Week

May 8, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

It was a good week. I feel especially happy about my morning practice at the studio. I have a home practice area, but the studio is really sweet. I love the gleaming hardwood floors, the skylights, even the smell which is combination of floor polish, and witch hazel. I practiced by myself for the most … Continue reading A Good Yoga Week

January has five Mondays. You've only missed one. Let's do this. https://main-street-yoga.heymarvelous.com/calendar
We picked our words! Mine is MUSCLE and G’s is VIGOR. Look out 2023, here we come!
You don't do yoga for you. You do it for your kids, your parents, your co-workers, your partner---everyone you connect with during your day. Everything goes better when you're calm and present. You know it's true. So, do it for them. Every Tuesday, there's a Gentle Yoga class at 5:30. So why don't you stop. Breathe. And take an hour to remember what's truly important. https://main-street-yoga.heymarvelous.com/calendar
November 30: Let's end this month with a practice you could do everyday, it's that wonderful. Bookmark this one. Memorize it, and make it your own. If you've been playing along all month, congrats! You completed thirty days of yoga. Now keep the streak going!
