Tree Pose… Or Vrksasana

June 27, 2008 – 5:14 am

OMG… One of my favourite postures.  I can stand in Tree Pose for (insert ValleyGirl accent here) like, forever.
From Mountain Pose, the trusty and so very foundational, Tadasana… I’m presuming toes are already spread, three points engaged, arches drawing up, with big ol’ quadriceps pulling kneecaps heaven-ly… bring weight to left foot.  With the help [...]

Baptiste… When I’m Struggling With Motivation

June 22, 2008 – 6:04 am

When I’m having a little trouble getting a practice going myself, I turn to Baron.
I don’t have the benefit of a class nearby to depend on when I’m in need of guidance so this handy dandy set of CD’s is great in a pinch… and when I just want to merely follow rather than be [...]

It’ll be Canada Day and this time just a fun, shorty-sprint Tri with a few cheater options.  It’s the first in our area and in an effort to make it accessible and have it take off for years to come, it’s been made as appealing as possible to draw participants.  In an effort to do [...]

The Weekend Is Upon Us

June 13, 2008 – 5:45 am

We were planning to get a practice in this morning before leaving for the campground.  I don’t think it’s going to happen.  We’ve both been hit with work bits to get in and I have to get to town to make sure we aren’t bouncing cheques as we’re trudging our way around the course over [...]

I Do Loves Me Some Flow

June 10, 2008 – 12:32 pm

This morning’s practice was a good one.  Forty minutes of lengthening lovliness… Sure, there was battle from “Age of Empires” screaming from the office computer beyond… too loud not to be noticed, but hey, when you’re in the flow, it’s all good.
As we stood in Mountain Pose at the beginning of practice, I stated to [...]

A Pleasant Reminder….

June 9, 2008 – 12:04 pm

In the grind that is daily life, along with the added grind that is triathlon training, not only regular yoga practice gets overlooked, but as a result so does maintaining my practice blog.
