Well guys, Autumn is upon us, and after taking the summer off from teaching the Newbies class at Village Green Yoga, I’ll be starting up yet another series to introduce the wild world of yoga to the world, starting with Issaquah.
So, if you, or someone you know and love, have always been interested in checking [...]
The week before last week, something came through my inbox that made me cringe for about 10 seconds. It was a deal from LivingSocial, the wildly popular site where you can get one wickedly awesome deal daily. The deal was for 20 sessions of Bikram yoga for $20 at a Bikram Yoga studio in Shoreline, [...]
Writing a newsletter actually causes me a lot of vritti. It just seems like such a much bigger deal than writing a blog post. If I have a typo or want to change something (like I’ve done to this paragraph 50 times), I can’t do so as easily after I publish it, because it’s now [...]
Climbers, Yogaers, it’s time we bring sexy… err… yoga, back to Ballard!
On Wednesday, May 5, 2010, there’ll be two good causes to celebrate: Cinco de Mayo, and the inaugural class of Yoga for Climbers at Backside Bow Yoga.
On Belay:
Concentration skills during climbing
Breathing techniques
Stretches to prepare for climbing and de-pumping after a climb
Common climbing injuries
Climb On:
Where: [...]
If you ran, run, or thinking about running in the near and far future, yoga can be a complement to improving your strength, flexibility, and minimizing injuries. Those pesky sports injuries, we’ve all been there and back, and back there again. They are inevitable. Some of those injuries, however, are avoidable.
Running injuries can be caused [...]
Hey guys,
I’ve spent the last couple hours doing maintenance around here, and here’s what’s happening, online and elsewhere.
Added:
Curriculum for my 800-hour Traditional Yoga Studies course.
Been listening to Shinzen Young a lot, and was inspired to add a The Big Picture page to describe the focus of my teaching.
Updated:
The current teaching schedule for Spring 2010, which [...]
Do you ever look at a yoga class schedule with unfamiliar teachers’ names and wonder what he or she is like, and wonder if you would enjoy taking a yoga class from them? It’s odd, if you think about it, whomever we choose to do yoga with will be in charge of our physical well-being, [...]
Last night in class I put my students in a Restorative Yoga pose. I asked that the students let their mind stay in their body. One strategy to do so is to hang on to something you can hear or feel, such as the breath and sensations in the body.
It was especially noisy outside the [...]
If you know me in person or have been following my blog, you know I have a thing for Downward Facing Dog. It’s nothing I need to get therapy for (yet), but I *can* talk about the fine details of this pose from sunrise to sunset.
So, this week and next, I’ll be teaching a Mini [...]
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.
