Category: The yoga of it all…
From taking care of two energetic toddlers who are far from sleeping through the night, to trying to get on the mat everyday I try to find the stillness and balance in moments here and there.

Listen to them
This morning at practice (still at Yoga Thailand) I overheard one of the teachers say, "If you listen to them, they'll listen to you."

Vande Gurunaam…Reggae version
The "One day Gurunaam..." version of the Ashtanga opening mantra (chanted before every practice) is an old joke now. I've heard many teachers make it. No idea who started it though. Madonna has her Shanti-Ashtangi dance version. Here is our Bob Marley inspired one: Everyday Gurunaam "One day Gu-ru-naam To-day Gu-ru-naam To-morrow Gu-ru-naam E-ve-ry-day Gu-ru-naam … Continue reading Vande Gurunaam…Reggae version
