April 3rd, 2012 Last night’s yoga class was extremely hard for me because I was severely dehydrated from my weekend. In all the hustle n’ bustle of moving my daughter I was not conscientious of the amount of water I did not drink. Knowing I was going to have the same teacher today and was once again going . . . → Read More: Inside & Out
March 31st, 2012 This week a huge black fan appeared on the back wall of the yoga studio. On the first day the teacher turned it on and the sound of a jet engine approaching, but never landing, unnerved me. She turned it on and off a few times and I just shook it off as an annoyance . . . → Read More: The “Fan” – Am I A Fan?
March 30th, 2012 After all the reading and writing I’ve done since I started this blog, I found worrying is the topic that most worries us. Just this morning I found myself reading the the ticker tape running along the bottom of the screen while watching the news. The Dow closed above 13,000 yesterday, therefore, I thought, my . . . → Read More: Why Worry?
March 29th, 2012 Yesterday I read an interesting blog posted on our Bikram Yoga Cape Cod Facebook page. It was entitled Move Your Mat. Anyone who practices yoga regularly, knows you acquire a favorite “spot” in the room. You also know the room is divided into “regions”. There’s the “hottest spot” not near any door or window. There’s . . . → Read More: The “Moving Mat” Syndrome
March 25th, 2012 Yesterday I started reading The Hunger Games at 4pm and, with the exception of time out for when Syracuse was playing, I finished it at 1am. Wow. It was a fast moving, easy read, but also a very hard read. (I did dream about being the head of my own post apocalyptic world after trying . . . → Read More: The Hunger Games
March 22nd, 2012 Today in yoga we had a guest teacher who shared a fascinating story. She told of someone who had completely obliterated their ankle. They had it put back together with a lot of screws and plates. Then they did Bikram. Sitting in fixed firm pose completely healed the ankle. The plates and screws began finding . . . → Read More: Nuts N’ Bolts
March 21st, 2012 I don’t (or can’t) knit. The needles and yarn never quite go together for me. If I do manage a few rows of stitches, the needle slips out and it starts unraveling. The more I pull at the string to try to fit the needle back in, the more it unravels. It’s just better to . . . → Read More: Completely Unraveled
March 13th, 2012 Appreciation is the only word I can come up with to describe today. I had a beautiful ride from NY back to Cape Cod. The weather was warm, the traffic was sparse, and the music was inspiring. Upon arriving home, after awhile I began to realize the house was extra cold. I went down to . . . → Read More: Appreciation
March 10th, 2012 “Lie still in savasana. This is where you get the benefits of the pose!”
How many times in the last 19 months of yoga have I heard that statement? At least once a day. I’m still not good at being still. My body is deceiving because I can lie there without moving a muscle. . . . → Read More: The Benefits
March 1st, 2012 Sitting down is something, before I retired, I rarely did. Anyone who has a home, children, and works full time needs no explanation of that. After those things were removed from my life, though I continued to be active and healthy, there suddenly was time to sit down. You would think after 35 years of . . . → Read More: Sitting Life, Running Life
