Got nothin’ profound today.  Taught my class.  It went well.  Got more yoga on the plate for a little later.
What amazes me today is how much I can still miss friends I haven’t seen in months/years.  And, unfortunately, am unlikely to see for many more.
You are not forgotten; you are still in my heart.
And my [...]

Quiet day on the yoga front.  Bit knackered (love British-isms & am in fact legitimately entitled to Brit citizenship but that’s a story for another time) so went with just an hour of VEERRRRYYYY mellow home practice.  Lots of lolling around on the mat, eyes closed, in supine supported stretchiness. 
There’s a slightly complicated emotional storyline tied [...]

It’s funny — only taught 7 classes this week (not counting the ones I attended as a student) & I’m all thrilled to have reached the successful conclusion.  Today was the 2 hour Core Vinyasa (lots of inner/outer leg work leading to Astavakara & Scissors) then a Beginning Forrest class with much wall work. 
Once upon a [...]

First: I love the New York Times more than is good for me.  There must be a support group out there somewhere.  I love that it uses multisyllabic words almost as much & as unapologetically as British newspapers.  I love that it runs a range of articles.  I love that it has shameless Science, Health [...]

Thankful today for a studio-home to go enjoy a 2 hour morning workshop led by Ame Wren. 
All before dining on Top of the Hub — thankful for  gourmet TDay luncheon served 52 stories up with a panoramic view of Boston!
Thankful for Beloved Husband, friends, family, furbabies.
Thankful for the chance to experience this gorgeous world.
Thankful for [...]

Today went well.  Details perhaps another time.  Tired now!  Beloved Husband & I went to a French Bistro in Back Bay called Bouchee after the excitement of the day & I am SOOOO ready for bed.  Sleepy yogi.
Here’s the tripartite lesson plan from today.  It’s semi-indicative of what went down.  Remember, this was [...]

Sometimes, that’s not a good thing to be.  Like, when doing yoga.  Then, a Rubber Band House might be more useful.
When I start practice, my back is made of bricks.  Or armor.  Or steel plate.  I can’t move it, really, or get breath in there.  It feels like my breath is beating up [...]

In Forrest teacher training, sometimes a trainee is given the assignment to teach as someone else in order to get a particular quality into their teaching.  I remember one person got the assignment to teach as a rock star, for example.  Imagine Mick Jagger teaching yoga & you’ll get the idea.  It was awesome. 
Today I [...]

Good home practice today — 2 hrs goofing around with a range of ideas involving Side Plank/Vasithasana & blocks while playing random new tunes on Rhapsody.  Discovered a band called “The XX” that has an amazing eponymous mellow debut album which is officially my new favorite find.  And the fall release from Muse.  Plus the Fall [...]

Man, today kicked my ass!  In a good way, but wowza.
Mostly cuz I could not sleep last night.  Got waaay too anxious about making sure I got up in time to make it into Back Bay by 7 am, so slept in three hour increments.
Once there, super fun teacher’s practice with Lynne going [...]
