Difficulty planning your day?

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 [...]

Let the big booty girls put their hands in the air!

About 10 years ago, my husband and I went to a hip-hop night at a huge dance club at the Luxor in Vegas. I’m not sure if it was one of these clubs, or if it’s since been replaced by one of these. At some point during the evening the DJ/MC called out:
“Let the big [...]

Completely, Totally, Ridiculously Vicious Yoga

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.

The Trouble with Tired People

So I had another high-energy, high-activity day. Yay!
And while I was on my BIG walk home earlier today, I was debating about whether or not I actually wanted to keep the trend going by trying a few inexpensive Exotic Dance classes, or Exoterobics thanks to today’s Living Social Deal of the Day.
My health, wellness [...]

Hip, Hoop, Hurray!

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

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

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!

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

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

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 [...]
