Well, here we are again! The end of January -- I hope that even if you didn't manage all 31 practices (I didn't quite make it) that you practiced more yoga than you would have otherwise, that you found inspiration and support here, and that yoga continues to be a rich part of your life! I have been so humbled and awed by so many of you -- this is truly an amazing group of yogis and yoginis, and even though our official month is over, I hope you'll all stick around and keep us posted!

Hey all! Sorry I've been a bit checked out this week -- lots going on on the work front, in-laws are still in town and requiring attention... But here we are, almost at the end of WoYo.

I wrote about this on my regular blog, forgive me for being too lazy to completely rewrite it:

Actually, I kind of enjoyed it. FreckleBoy did the workout with me as well and he claims he wasn’t even tired (Kids! and their energ… Continue

Had a great practice with my friend Bendy yesterday -- I made it through the ashtanga seated poses and then did my modified backbends, then closing. It really felt great to do a fairly complete practice after doing minimal practices for so many days.

My energy levels have been really high for about two weeks, which is so weird. I don't know what happened -- I have felt kind of listless for a long time, and then all of a sudden it was like BOOM! Energy!! Very strange. I do get tired in the eveni… Continue

I picked that "y'all" thing up in New Orleans last weekend. I must immediately confess that I did no yoga of any kind while we were there, unless you count winding your way through the crowds on Bourbon Street, or dancing to 80's tune. Since I've been back, I've managed a couple of short restorative practices to loosen things up. Somehow my heart isn't really in the practice these days, not like it used to be. I think I am still figuring out how to have a practice that works with my life as it i… Continue
