Summer Morning Meditation
I have been meditating every morning this week on the front deck.  Fortunately, during summer, it is warm enough so that I can do this.  Or, more accurately, I've been doing a mixture of postures held for a long time, bastrika pranayama, uddiyana bandha, nauli and sitting still in a......Read More

Happy Garrigues
David was noticeably in a lighter mood this morning.  I practiced the entire primary series and one half of the second up to dwi pada sirsasana.  I forgot to put bekasana before danurasana, but oh well.  I was able to get the soles of my feet in kapotasana.  David made me do......Read More

Two Weeks of Mysore
I am currently attending the summer immersion program at Ashtanga Yoga Charlottesville with David Garrigues.  He seems much more subdued this time than last year.  The first led primary this sunday was at a very slow pace.  Indeed, he mentioned a few times to......Read More

Finally, I will get certified!
Upon checking the AYC website the other day, I noticed that Jennifer Elliot was going to lead a teacher training starting in September of this year.  It is going to occur two weekends per month from September through January.  I'm really looking forward to attending it.  Moreover,......Read More

A Long Time Since I've Written...
It's been some time since I've written in my blog. Originally, I was to attend a teacher training with David Garrigues in February of this year in Seattle.  In short, the training was cancelled.  I was bummed, but it is what it is... In February, I attended a workshop with......Read More

Lots of Yoga Today
A big day today.  I had an Alexander lesson at 10 a.m., then went to Gina's vinyasa class which I am substituting for next week, at 11:30.  Had a little lunch at Christians, farted around the downtown mall for an hour, then went to ACAC to swim for a bit.  To top everything off,......Read More

Physical Practice v. Emotional Practice; Ashtanga
Ha, a very dualistic title today, huh? I'm almost always amazed at how busy the fall season usually is.  It is interesting because, in terms of seasonal cycles, it signals the approaching end of the year.  It becomes cold and things start moving more slowly.  In other senses......Read More

Graham Schweig
What a busy weekend this was!  We had a home football game on Saturday at the restaurant and yoga presentation and teacher meeting on Sunday!  Amazingly, I still feel refreshed today as I sit at my desk at work.  Perhaps the daylight savings's extra hour imparted a bit of energy?......Read More

Restorative, chilling out
I worked 15 hours yesterday and then slept for 11 last night.  I felt kinda groggy and irritated that I had slept so late, but I think my body feels better for it.  Chilling out in my practice and focusing on restoration and concentration has been my theme recently.  I do not think......Read More

Alexander Technique
Yesterday, my moon day, I took an Alexander technique class during my lunchbreak.  I finally got to meet Daria Okugawa.  The class seemed a bit simplistic.  Many of the principles I have heard in various yoga circles, but this does not dilute the efficacy of the......Read More
