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 [...]

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 [...]

If I’d Known Bikram Was Coming….

December 8, 2009 – 6:04 am

I’d have cranked the heat… but it is Canada, after all!
In our neck o’ the woods we’ve seen celebrities of all stripes, most notably the whole Twi-hard phenomenon as they make their homes locally (roughly) to film the monster vampire franchise.
Anywho… a celebrity nearly as big, at least in his own mind, and certainly more [...]

The Balancing Series… Love on One Foot. Part 3: Dekasana… Airplane!

November 30, 2009 – 9:02 am

Back from Thanksgiving and, Idon’t know about you, but I’m finding the need for balance, in diet- navigating my way from abundant meat and cheese (until Christmas, creamy fondue and Calabrese salami!) and back to hot rice cereal, greens and lean protien… and practice! Whew! Moving on in the series we find [...]

The Balancing Series… Love on One Foot. Part 2: Utthita Hasta Padangustasana or Grab Your Toe and Don’t Forget to Breathe!

November 17, 2009 – 6:29 am

Just when you thought all was well with the world… you’ve successfully unwound yourself out of Eagle and with a long, delightful exhale are ready to take it down a notch.
Well, nope.
The series continues, long and extended, as we head into a remarkably high energy posture, Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, or Extended Hand-to-Toe, requiring strength along [...]

The Balancing Series… Love on One Foot. Part 1: Garudasana or Eagle Pose

November 10, 2009 – 5:31 pm

Maybe it’s autumn, maybe it’s my current serene state of mind, fair & balanced, but I’m all about incorporating the Balancing Series into my practice these days.
So, if you’re looking to cultivate strength, balance and open-ness… look no further! The Balancing Series provides you with a well-rounded and challenging set of postures to help you [...]

Shake, Shake, Shake! Utkatasana…

June 8, 2009 – 6:18 am

This is a posture I really do like… oh yes. In fact, it’s a posture I play with a little to give the old thighs something to really scream about! As I near the end of my series of Sun Salutation A, I’m already anticipating the bliss in the delicious agony that is Powerful Pose… [...]
