Wow, I'd better get busy on this blog, because we're doing YoMo in January again, and the introductory emails link here. It would be embarrassing to have written nothing new. I've been doing yoga, but just not writing about it. My asana practice has not been as strong as I'd like, however, because I'm taking a… Continue reading Back to the blog, pranayama

Yoga vacation
My sister and I went on a little yoga retreat to Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, thanks to birthday gift certificates from our wonderful brothers and sisters. You can go for a specific program, or you can go for "retreat and renewal" or R&R, where you take whatever yoga classes and other daily offerings… Continue reading Yoga vacation
Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana
Jill and I practice together once a week. It's a very casual sort of practice. We have a routine we've been doing, and each time we have to perform some triage in order to fit it into the time we have. It's a delightful practice. We talk about various things, yoga and otherwise, and we… Continue reading Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana
Individual differences
I've had various shoulder troubles on both sides, and at the moment both sides are feeling reasonably good. But boy, look at how different my Gomukhasana (cow face) arms are! That right shoulder is just plain stuck. On the other hand (so to speak), it's thrilling to me that I can connect my fingers on… Continue reading Individual differences
Home again
We had a great trip, but boy, I'm happy to have my own floor back to practice yoga on. In a couple of the motels we stayed in, we just did standing poses and sun salutations so as to avoid much touching of the rug.
Dailyness
Today we're in a very small hotel room, but still managed to practice before breakfast. We're driving on this trip, so I was able to bring a bag with yoga mats, straps and blocks. I left the blankets and bolsters at home. I'll be glad to be home at the end of the week to… Continue reading Dailyness
Utili-yoga
We're traveling at the moment. The last three days were spent in the car, hurtling across the midwest towards Rhode Island. It's hard to maintain a daily practice when you're staying in motels, getting in at 10 pm or so, and leaving first thing in the morning. In addition to the time problem, there's the… Continue reading Utili-yoga
Traveling
We're getting ready to leave town, and this time we're driving. We'll be on the road for a couple of weeks, visiting family and friends in New England. Taking the car means that we can bring a couple of yoga mats and maybe some blocks and blankets. I'm hoping to be able to maintain my… Continue reading Traveling
June 3, so far, so good
It's the third day of YoMo, and I'm doing fine. My husband has taken yoga classes a couple of times but found it insufficiently fast and competitive. However, he's having back trouble, and he asked me to get him started with a short yoga routine. I've practiced with him for two days now. We did… Continue reading June 3, so far, so good
YoMo begins, can’t find my notes!
During my morning practice yesterday I wrote myself several notes about things to write about relative to YoMo. I'll be writing a couple of emails a week to participants who signed up to practice yoga every day during the month of June, and I've been thinking about what to say. My desk is a big… Continue reading YoMo begins, can’t find my notes!
