Tonight I found out that YogaDork was running a t-shirt design contest to raise money for Haiti, and I immediately opened up my Photoshop program. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Back in early November, I submitted a design to a Yoga Journal contest for a freebie to a YJ conference, and I used then [...] Here is a quick video of me chanting the Gayatri Mantra, something I did quite a bit after my bike accident. You can follow along with the Sanskrit words here: oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ One of my favorite authors, Bill Bryson, once wrote: Welcome. And congratulations. I am delighted that you could make it. Getting here wasn’t easy, I know. In fact, I suspect it was a little tougher than you realize. … To be here now; alive in the twenty-first century and smart enough to know it, you also had to [...] Lately, it seems like the whole world is going stir-crazy on the commercialization of yoga, or debating what it is and what it’s not, and if it’s lost its soul.

I was talking to yoga teacher I just met, Rebecca [...] Coming back from my 10-day Vipassana course, as I do the sittings on my own, I keep hearing Goenkaji saying… “Anicca, anicca, anicca… Changing, changing, changing.” I’ve always loved Avenue Q, and think this song is the perfect embodiment of Impermanence in pop culture. “Each time you smile / It’ll only last a while… Life may be [...] I’m back from a week of immersing myself in yoga, anatomy, and the wild open sky of Montana at Feathered Pipe Ranch. I’ve updated the outline of the topics we discussed on the Yoga Conferences and Workshop page. I’ll keep updating the blog with the information I learned, little by little, because the training was packed [...] During check-in time at my 500-hr training this weekend, there’s a general consensus that we are all really busy. “Call me in September”, someone said, and the class nodded in agreement. I have been in massive planning mode, and for sure can feel the pressure of “more faster”. It was perfect timing when I came across [...] |
