For the first time in four years, I’m not leading a yoga retreat in Yosemite…I think. There’s a chance I may do something in late Summer. I do have a couple of personal excursions planned. Alone with a pack and a map. The thing I love about going to out there is that I get [...]

I’ve never liked images on mud flaps. Not even as a kid. There’s something kinda mean or snarky about them. Bumper stickers can be the same way but generally offer some sort of message, whether political or spiritual. But, Yosemite Sam, or at least the graphic designer who came up with this, got it right. [...]

This week, Artyem Saveliev has a birthday. He turns 10. He has a sweet face. Photogenic freckles. Today, his deeply sad eyes are starting to brighten. He’s the boy who was put on a plane back to Russia by is adoptive mom in Tennessee in 2010. When I first read the story, I wanted to [...]

7:00 am Guided Primary Series with Nancy Gilgoff. Very cool. She always starts with a little discussion. That’s kinda nice. No surprises. No false expectations. This is what we’re doing and why. Curiously, I haven’t done 5 Surya Namaskara B’s in a row all week. In mysore style, I did 4 because I was tired/lazy…ok, [...]

Tim Miller’s gonna squeeze my mat in between to two people already done with Sun Salutations. Sweet! Back row (nice); under a chandelier (bummer); Yup…I forgot something…oh well. not going back [...]

I crawled out of bed this morning after hitting the snooze button one time too many, got dressed, found my keys and pulled out of the garage around o-dark-thirty (that would be 4:30am). The street lights on my block don’t work well. It was DARK! I watched the sun rise on i5, as I have [...]

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the benefits of my practice and my teaching. Many have already heard the story about my very first yoga class. Baggy sweats…oversized tee…socks! And, those sun salutations! Torture! It’s my fault for walking into a level 2-3 class. I came to yoga to loose weight and help my [...]

Last week, I attended a methodology workshop for design professionals. It was great. I spent the day with other creatives who think in symbolism. We shared best practices and fully supported one another. I was surrounded by other people just like me. That night, while driving across the Bay Bridge, I was flipped off. That’s [...]
