I've decided to participate in World Yoga Practice Month again this year. Last year I completed the challenge with flying colors. I practiced

Tonight's 20 minute practice was dedicated to the woman who I had to end a 13 year relationship with recently. I had so much trouble getting to a place in my practice where I could be mindfully aware of the present moment; I've been so much in my head about this situation.

Hello WoYoPracMo-ers! Long time no see.

So, I'm putting my best foot forward; I'm reclaiming my practice. It's not going to be easy. My schedule this quarter is spilling over. My to-do list is as tall as mighty Redwood. Most… Continue
