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 [...]

Breakfast… And Yoga. The Keys to Success

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.
According to a recent article in The London Evening Standard, the children of Riverside Primary in Rotherhithe were provided with not only a proper breakfast [...]

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 Farmer’s Luck… Maybe. Words to Live By

November 16, 2009 – 5:27 am

I’ve raved written in the past about this wonderful book of stories before.
In Jon M. Muth’s Zen Shorts, Stillwater, the serene and friendly Giant Panda of a neighbour to three children, siblings Karl, Michael and Addy, offers his own brand of Zen guidance and advice.
Through ancient stories infused with traditional Buddhist teachings, Stillwater provides solutions [...]

Little Bits of Nice… Add Up to Wonderful

November 13, 2009 – 7:45 am

We have been trying to implement a regular routine of meditation for the kids…
It’s short and sweet, don’t get me wrong.
While eleven year old sits and is definitely interested in ‘getting it’, the others are typical kids and do what they have to to endure the seemingling endless minutes. There’s a bit of fidgeting by [...]

Children’s Meditation… Life Strategy.

November 9, 2009 – 6:47 am

In a recent post I addressed, through the words of Deepak Choprah, the importance and power of meditation in enhancing the lives of our children.
Through meditation- sitting in stillness, engaging and developing the frontal portion of the brain, we encourage the best in who we can be: compassion, empathy, love, and ultimately, happiness.
And isn’t that [...]

Gentle-ness and Ease… Power in Listening

November 2, 2009 – 12:20 pm

After a crazy Halloween weekend, with all of its various excesses, primarily candy and Fireballs (I did say crazy…!) I was eager for this morning’s practice knowing I needed it to clear the cobwebs.
Well, as eager as I may have been, the ol’ bones were not so. The juices took some time to get flowing, [...]

Inlaws… Or Yoga on a Mountain Top? Some Interesting Yoga Destinations!

July 5, 2009 – 6:19 am

Whew… It’s been about three weeks since a post. Time flies when you’re packing three kids to an opposite coast for an in-law EXTRAVAGANZA!! Visiting… driving. Visiting… driving. More visiting… and more driving. It was nice… great fun. But far from relaxing…
Nothing like this:

Or this:

Certainly, when it comes to adequately serving their harried summer travellers, [...]
