I have been reading A Year of Living Your Yoga: Daily Practices to Shape Your Life by Judith Lasater since December 2007 (thank you, Amazon Orders History). Every time I read the daily entry, I get a new perspective and insight.
Today, February 27, the entry reads:
If you want to embrace the light, you must also [...]
The Yoga studio scene in Seattle is seeing some changes as we transition from February to March.
+ Om Yoga of Redmond is closing its doors after 2 years. Owner Karen Herold is an amazing woman for having a full time executive job, coaching her daughters’ sports teams, and of course, teaching and running a small [...]

I’m speechless, [...]
This is another video in the New Yoga Teacher to New Yoga Teacher series, part of my work to support new yoga teachers. Here I talk about how to deal with both good days and bad days, and yes, they do happen. As they say about riding and laying down a motorcycle: it’s not a [...]

Muscles 'n Bones, Oh My! As you know I am big into learning Anatomy and everything that facilitates our movements. The books from Ray Long, an orthopedic surgeon and student of B.K.S. Iyengar, are beautiful to look at and can be a great tool in your exploration of hatha yoga.
