A Little Late for the Official Yoga Challenge…

February 25, 2010 – 6:05 am

But I’m considering issuing my own, to myself, sometime… soon.  Though in the meantime I will sign up with Power of Movement for a little valuable inspiration.
A great concept and I’m sorry I only just found out about it!  It began earlier this month on February 6th, when Power of Movement issued the challenge:
All of [...]

Yoga Jeans… Orgasm in Denim!

December 18, 2009 – 5:43 am

Now, I saw the video first.  And after carefully considering, “Jeans? Husband? Jeans? Husband?”  -husband did come out the winner… but only because he’s making me pancakes… and by a mere hair (I loves me pancakes!)- I came to the breathless conclusion,
Holy Moly!  I must get me a pair of these freakin’ jeans!
Because, by [...]

The Balancing Series… Love on One Foot. Part 5: Natarajasana… Dancer’s Pose. Oh Yeah.

December 17, 2009 – 7:11 am

I’ve been known to wax enviously about this posture and those who are able to enjoy its full potential… but despite my own challenges in the posture… ILOVE IT!
I consider it the most beautiful- strong, graceful, intense.
Myself, it takes some time resting in Tadasana- Mountain Pose to gather myself before I embark upon this energetic [...]

Fertility God? Heck No… Fertility Ball, If You Please!

December 12, 2009 – 7:19 am

I guess yoga isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to makin’ babies… and surely, I don’t think I ever thought of massaging my innards with a ball when it came to the months we spent trying to conceive the energetic little pip that is my second son.
But then again, I’m [...]

The Balancing Series… Love on One Foot. Part 4: Dekasana… Airplane!

December 9, 2009 – 7:19 am

Lovely, lovely… and, despite the exertion involved a nice relief from the previous posture, Dekasana- airplane.
The support of one, or two hands if you wish, certainly helps.  The support of the arms provides leverage, allowing for greater extension through the lifted leg, with that foot active and energized.
With a last inhale in airplane, getting a [...]

Hula Hoop vs. Yoga… The Beginning of a Backlash?!

December 7, 2009 – 5:16 am

In time for Christmas, I turn to the the OM-nipresent, the OM-nicient, the OM-nipotent and the ever OM-nificent… to guide me through the minefield that is holiday shopping. And, in case there’s some confusion to whom I might be referring, let me be clear… I’m talking about Google, of course… the arbiter of all things… [...]

December 6, 2009 – 5:30 am

We’ve all known for ever the importance of a healthy breakfast to children’s learning, but one British primary school is also recognizing the benefits of incorporating yoga and meditation into education.
