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

Home Yoga Practice
When it comes to yoga, I'm a cranker, a churner, a go-hard-or-go-home-er. When I am led by my teacher, especially, I will hold onto my edges in a pose with my teeth and my toenails until I feel myself practically ripped apart. When I practice alone, I can't drive myself to quite that level of … Continue reading Home Yoga Practice
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.

I am going up to my home yoga room every day and … Continue reading Yet Another Post About Streaking

It's very playful, this … Continue reading Day 2 in Yoganand’s Playground

This will be my 4th class in the 10 class series of Pranakriya (500 Hr) Yoga. This one is called "Advanced Asana 3," but really, it's just … Continue reading Yoganand
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
