So. It's late and I'm tired and I am thinking about what I am going to do with this blog once April rolls around (the day after tomorrow). I have this other blog I write on in April called Virtual Yogarians. It's a "multi-user" blog in which anyone who is attempting the Challenge is invited … Continue reading Feeling Torn

167 Day Yoga Streak Ends
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
Yoga Challenge Preparations
A week from today the Yoga Challenge begins. Yikes! I've been collecting registrations and trying to figure out how many mats will fit, and if I need any more stuff to make the experience better for the participants. Today I went to the studio and moved all the props into the lounge in "stage one" … Continue reading Yoga Challenge Preparations
Inappropriate Yoga Playlist
Every Friday I teach what I call "Happy Hour Yoga." Depending on who shows up, this can be either quite the sweat-fest, or roll as soft as butter. If a new-to-yoga person shows up, buttercream class.. If it's my regulars: sweat-fest. (One of my students is threatening to bring her grandmother every week so that … Continue reading Inappropriate Yoga Playlist
A Little Spring Meme
This afternoon I walked Boomer to the studio to check the mail and to see if anyone had slid Yoga Challenge money underneath the door. It is still weirdly warm, but it was cloudy and there were a few sprinkles as we walked. I could smell the ground. It smell like dirt and roots and … Continue reading A Little Spring Meme
The Yoga Challenge and the New Year’s Eve Letter
Today I pulled the trigger on the 5th Annual Yoga Challenge (30 days for $30). Sent the email to my mailing list and now I await the flurry of envelopes. I am guessing by this time tomorrow it will be filled. Tonight as we sleep, Spring will arrive. Somebody at yoga tonight said that the … Continue reading The Yoga Challenge and the New Year’s Eve Letter
The Bests
Every time I sit down here, I try to think of the standout moments in the day, good or bad. But mostly I look for the "Bests." What were the best moments of this day? My yoga practice this morning wasn't "the best"--it was hard and I was frustrated with my limitations and my weakness, … Continue reading The Bests
A Little Pincha Spring
It was a ridiculously warm day here in northern Pennsylvania. Ree-Dic-Yoo-Lus. Like in the 70s. March, we never knew ya. I walked out onto the deck to drink my Orgain for lunch and found myself face-to-face with my Christmas tree. Not only that, all my window boxes are still filled with decorative pine boughs. The … Continue reading A Little Pincha Spring
Sitting on the couch, reading.
So just in time for Spring Break, I am battling some kind of upper respiratory thing. (greaaaat..) Nothing like a garbage-y cough and a woozey head to start the weekend. My first day of Facebook-less-ness went off without a hitch. Don't even miss it. It was so easy, I gave up Pinterest, too. I am … Continue reading Sitting on the couch, reading.
Where I Work
Sometimes people will ask me where I work. There is something about the word "work" that makes me recoil. "I don't really work." I'll say, "I teach yoga." But lately I've been thinking about that and it seems to me that I do "work" only it's not work in the "Omg, it's Monday and I … Continue reading Where I Work
