• Put my corpse in a heart shaped box

  Sunday, January 24th, 2010

  “I’m dead.”
  That’s what we who are prone to exaggerate say when we’re really tired.
  That’s what we who ignored our fairy-godmother’s warnings about dancing after midnight, not once, but twice on a weekend, say on Sundays.
  I’m dead.
  Something that I’ve always found to be a little ironic about yoga is that one of the best ways to [...]

• Difficulty planning your day?

  Thursday, January 14th, 2010

  I can’t say that I’ve had trouble planning my day. The difficulty today has been to stop planning and start doing.
  It’s interesting when you’re writing a pseudo-yoga and fitness blog. There is always that debate: “Maybe I should practice, workout, or walk first before I start writing, OR write, then pose.”
  But once my fingers hit [...]

• Completely, Totally, Ridiculously Vicious Yoga

  Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

  I almost have no words.
  Except maybe “ouch” or “help” or “excuse me, you’re standing on my face.”

  And what is this guy looking for? I wouldn’t have guessed one could win anything by purposely sticking your head up your own ass.

• Hip, Hoop, Hurray!

  Sunday, January 10th, 2010

  I just got back from my first Hoop Dance Class!
  So much fun, even I might stick with it. I’ve wanted to learn for several years. It’s been my “intention” to do so, but 2010 is the year!
  I listen to a lot of electronica music and started seeing hoop dance performers at shows. Since that first [...]

• DownLoad-asana: Yoga Relax for iPhone

  Saturday, January 9th, 2010

  I’m writing my first post from my iPhone, so it seems appropriate to post something about this iPhone app that I just downloaded
  .
  The feature list sounds very cool. I was particularly excited about being able to set up your own session from 1-36 minutes, and especially enjoying thinking about 1-5 minute sessions because, um, I’m lazy [...]

• Lions, but no Tigers, and certainly no Bears

  Friday, January 8th, 2010

  I always laugh when I’m in a yoga class and the yoga instructor decides to do Simhasana, or Lion Pose. (As I get older, my eyes are getting bad, so when I read “simhasana” I see “simba-sana,” and I think of the Lion King.)

  I guess I also laugh when I’m by myself. You can too. [...]

• Yoga Cult? Ding, Dang, Dahn!

  Thursday, January 7th, 2010

  Okay so, I’m working on that eat more Indian food intention today, so for lunch I tried some Trader Joe’s shelf stable palak paneer (don’t recommend it, tasted stale, um like a shelf), TJ’s pav bhaji (pretty good, but spicy,  and I’m a wimp with the spice) and the ever awesome frozen, just-microwave-it Jasmine rice, [...]

• And now for something completely different

  Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

  On my other blog I wrote about Dan Pink’s new book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
  I haven’t had time to read it yet, but I remembered I first heard about Laughter Yoga when I read his book A Whole New Mind

• My Distraction Free Writing Pro…crastination

  Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

  Before yesterday had turned more toward vicious than toward yoga, I had intended yesterday’s post to be an exercise in brevity and short commentary on another how-to piece I’d come across after discovering Rob Knowlton’s Simple Code for Posting on the Web.
  I was just going to repost MDFWP and shut the hell up, but I [...]

• Vicious or Yoga – How was YOUR day?

  Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

  Yesterday, I didn’t post.
  Some days are more vicious, some days more yoga.
  Yesterday was vicious.
  But all’s well that ends well.
  Today I’ll post two to keep on top of my 31 in 31 Goal/Resolution/Intention…
