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 [...]

Last year this time, I was in a bit of a funk. Plodding ahead, staring at my feet, wondering why things weren’t they way they were sposedta be. Those Sposedtas and Yoga Fairies are pretty strong this time of year. A wonderful women and amazing yogi, Catherine Chapman, pulled me out of the house to [...]

Sometimes work is…well…a challenge. What I actually mean to say is that my co-workers are a challenge. But, that’s a subject for another post. We’ve all had those moments. Maybe it was a bully on the play ground or a boss that reminds you of the tv show The Office…but I know when I look [...]

“What!!??” I blurted to my mac when I read Larry Schultz’s obituary. He was a long time yogi, in the true sense. I wouldn’t call what we did at It’s Yoga Ashtanga. The Rocket was definitely inspired by but certainly would not fly if you tried it with Guruji. But, that discussion is for another [...]

Fairies vs Sposedtas

I once broke up a fight in a yoga studio. They hadn’t come to blows…yet. The disagreement started in class and I was downstairs at the front desk. By the time the ladies came down, it was bad. I found myself standing between them, hoping to prevent anything physical, and let each tell her side. [...]
Keep your Wanderlust local

Last weekend, the city was quiet, dare I say peaceful. With Wanderlust miles away and Jerry Day corralling the modern day hippies in Golden Gate Park, those of us left behind got open tables at cafes and a little room between yoga mats. It was nice! Summer is always a great time for music lovers! [...]

Many have heard me talk about “The Davids” – David Swenson and David Williams. They’re both big influences on my teaching. Most know how much I love the Kest Brothers – Bryan and Jonny. Richard Freeman makes me giggle in every class I’ve taken with him, reminding me to enjoy the ride-it’s just yoga after [...]
Isn’t that an oxymoron?

Growing up in San Francisco in the 70′s was quite an experience; especially for a girl surrounded by independent women. Watching Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem while holding my mom’s hand, showed me how it’s ok for women to be passionate and fiery. Reading about Hua Mulan, as told by Maxine Hong Kingston, while in [...]
