Wednesday, October 6th, 2010I just had to post a link to this great new post by my yoga friend John. I also suffer from a rapid-fire mind, and simply sitting is often a lot harder than I’d anticipate. His blog post discusses how scientists say labeling your thoughts may help you let them go more easily… yet how [...]
10-Minute Relaxation Challenge, Care of Yoga Journal
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Ten minutes is not a long time. Yet, for some reason, I find it really difficult to give myself 10 minutes of “me time”. Time during which to do something because I WANT to do it, not because I feel like I should do it. I am one of those people who has a constant [...]
New Heights, New Friends
Friday, July 16th, 2010We’ve been living in Maine for just over a month and we are settling in nicely. The Fourth of July we went on a gorgeous hike up Bald Mountain with some new friends–Leslie and Paul. I met Leslie first at the Parent & Child yoga class at Central Street yoga in Bangor; she was one [...]
Earth Yoga: Inspirations for Celebrating Earth Day with Kids and Teens
Monday, April 12th, 2010I recently had the best birthday weekend ever… one that incorporated lots of yoga, wonderful time spent with family, and joyous time with loved ones while we enjoyed nature on a sunny hike. Oh, and chocolate cake. I’ll write more about that soon… but for now, I want to share a wonderful article I found [...]
Yoga: The Panacea
Monday, March 15th, 2010Tonight I completed my first full Ashtanga yoga practice in over a week and I feel absolutely fantastic! I really think yoga is a panacea, or a cure-all. I am going to re-energize my practice and get back into feeling great every day! Earlier today I felt really cruddy. I think it was a combination of the [...]
Restorative Yoga: Relax, Unwind, Renew
Friday, February 12th, 2010What better way to end this week than a Restorative Yoga workshop by Leigh?? Really, I can’t think of a better way (especially since I’ll be spending quality time with my wonderful husband and darling daughter beforehand, thereby ending the week in a PERFECT way!). This was my first week back to Ashtanga yoga since [...]
Back to the Mat… as Momma!
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010This morning I woke up to a wonderfully white winter wonderland… a perfect day for baking, blogging, and playing in the snow with my little darling! And so… it’s a perfect time to write about my first night back to Ashtanga since I gave birth to Maddie! Last night I packed up my darling yogi [...]
Waiting…. peacefully waiting….
Monday, December 21st, 2009Today is day 3 past my due date, although it feels like so much longer. 40 weeks, 3 days gestation. Wow! Today is also the Winter Solstice… when days begin to get longer!! I thought that might be a nice day for a birth day, but it doesn’t appear that my daughter agrees. Oh well. [...]
40 Weeks…… and Counting!
Friday, December 18th, 2009The due date has arrived. December 18th will not be the birthday of our first child, a daughter. But that’s ok. She will come when she is ready. The non-stress test at the doctor’s this morning was fine. She’s doing well, still comfy in my daily-growing belly. I hope not too comfy. Either way, I’m [...]
Ashtanga and Pregnancy
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009So many months ago (almost 9 now…) when I first discovered I was pregnant, I was absolutely thrilled and excited. Being a regular practitioner of Ashtanga yoga, one of the first things I did was to go online and research “Ashtanga and pregnancy” to find out what modifications I should use during my practice. I [...]
