Oh yes... I figured this out the hard way.. I'll have my yoga teacher doublecheck my posture in my next class O__o it's hard though, to sit back and give the elbow rest :(

Thanks! It's actually quite motivating to read these blogs :)
Wow, I can only hope to "get better at" yoga so that one day I can actually move on to Ashtanga.. not quite there yet ;)

Thanks for the friend invite. What a beautiful dog! I get puppy yearnings once in a while--the intervals keep getting shorter and shorter. Your pooch invites temptation. I don't think I'd appreciate the armpit licking, but the kids would love it.

Smurph, well, speaking as one who has struggled a lot with practicing alone . . . let's just say I'm still working on consistent solo practice. What I have found is that practicing at the same time every day helps a lot. I think it's important to make it a habit. That's what I did with meditation, and now I can't start the day without.

But I am spoiled by having friends that I regularly practice yoga with (four days a week). My primary practice buddy is going to India for a month this spring, though, and I am looking to that as my time to really get into the habit of daily solo practice. I intend to get on the mat every morning after meditation.

Teachers say consistent practice is the most important thing and, though I was practicing four days a week prior to WoYoPracMo, I find that my practice is already improved for adding the other three days. Some days, I only do suryanamaskaras plus a few poses (it adds up to about ten minutes). Most people could find ten minutes in their daily routine to practice, and then add longer practices when possible.

Have you found a time that works for you?

The other thing is, because I find it very difficult to practice alone sometimes, I have decided to use music to help me get through it. This helped the other day, so I'll be doing it again.

I hope you find what works for you!

Inventing A Migraine Restorative Practice? Suggestions?

Had to cancel practice with Sparky last night because I was getting a migraine. :(

My headaches are vastly, vastly improved since I've been seeing a homeopath---I feel like a whole new person with a whole new life. But I still get one now and then.

So I wasn't in suffer-mode, just didn't feel well, and wanted to do a light practice. I went through some of the paschimottanasanas, marichyasana c, pigeon, Katherine'Continue

O Yoga, I Luv U, I Luv U, I Luv U. I Will Buy U Flowers.

I feel so good after a practice, so thankful, so content. Oh love love love.

I put together a playlist of yoga music last week, so I put it on shuffle when I practice by myself. That way, I don't hear the same songs over and over. Last night, I ended up with an especially good mix that included Niyaz, Loreena McKennitt, Panda Bear, Souad Massi, Natacha Atlas, Vas, Talitha Mackenzie and Martin Swan (from Mouth Music), and Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock (what an awesome, awesome practi… Continue

Moon Days

Since I noticed some confusion about when the moon day was last week, I thought it might be useful to share this site with y'all. It's handy for figuring out the moon days every month, and it's based on where you are, so you won't be misled!

The State Of My Backbend

backbend.jpg



Doesn't look horrific from the side, but I am having a very hard time straightening my arms and turning my armpits toward each other (they are bowing out like cowboy legs---very sad).

I wonder if it would be a bad thing to turn my wrists in… Continue
