Feel All Emotions

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 [...]

Transform T - A Shirt for Haiti

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 [...]

10 Things Your Yoga Instructor *Will* Tell You, Part I

I recently read an article titled 10 Things Your Yoga Instructor Won’t Tell You from Smart Money Mag, and naturally have a thing or two to say. (Let’s forget for a moment the blind cowboy “buy now” advice, and that not everyone heeds their words, but I digress big time.)

(Caution, long post ahead, brew some tea [...]

Are You Practicing Real Yoga?

I admit, “Are you practicing real yoga?” is a rather obnoxious question. It’s probably like walking up to a woman, especially someone you don’t know at all, and say, “Are those real?” I’m gonna bet she’d get pretty offended and slap you in the face. (I will never have this problem, so I can only [...]

Judith Lasater’s Experiential Anatomy Teacher Training

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 [...]

Experiential Anatomy Training with Judith Lasater

Greetings from Feathered Pipe Ranch, Montana.

I’m currently half way through the Experiential Anatomy Teacher Training with Judith Lasater, who’s also the author of Yogabody: Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Asana. Apart from the beautiful setting, awesome food, and great people, the workshop is proving invaluable to my growth as a yoga student, teacher, and human being.

In her [...]

Experiential Anatomy with Judith Lasater

I got news today that I’m officially going to the Experiential Anatomy Yoga Teacher Training with Judith Lasater! The training is based on Judith’s new book, Yogabody: Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Asana.

Super excited!

Yogabody: Anatomy, Kinesilogy, and Asana by Judith Hanson Lasater

This book is quickly becoming my adult blankie. It’s a great book about Anatomy and the basic structure of the human body without sounding like a dry and impersonal science textbook.

If you are unfamiliar with Judith Lasater, she is a senior yoga teacher and a physical therapist [...]

30 Essential Yoga Poses

30 Essential Yoga Poses: For Beginning Students and Their Teachers

This is a great reference for me when doing my own home practice and sequencing poses for a class. My favorite part of the book is the Theme Practice sections where Judith has suggested sequences for what ails you: lower and upper back, hips and [...]
