The packers come today. I’m hitting the 0630 class before they arrive to help me stay sane, feet on the ground!
A week or so ago we did an exercise that really brought home to me the effect of active feet on the rest of the body. It’s quite a simple & elegant exercise that I’d [...]
Sitting post-yoga with ice on my left ankle, knee & hip flexor. Ahhhhh. Mostly preventive to help recovery, partly to address those recurring little owies. Good news is that it takes longer for the weak links to ache & they recover alot faster these days. I’ll be spry again by tomorrow am!!
I’ve of course been working on [...]
A week out from the move & I can finally feel change in my bones. And it has me asking some good questions, ones I stopped asking for a little while & am glad to return to.

There is a new blogger sending thoughts into the world these days. My friend Tara is working on the 21-5-800 project (5 days a week, 800 words, 21 days) and I really love her writing.

In other blogger world connections, I have named my little trouble tweaky spots in emulation of Kai over at Reluctant Ashtangi and [...]
These past few weeks my practice has usually been doing double classes in relatively close (within 90 minutes) succession. It’s an awesome experience to have the luxury of doing a class, getting a Kombucha, then another class. Huge growth opportunity.
Also had a huge emotional & physical upswelling & meltdown right before we went househunting following [...]
This morning I was quite puzzled. Couldn’t figure out what was going on, wondered what was wrong.
Cuz I didn’t feel ambitious, or goal-oriented, or wanting or needful. Was just happy to sit on the couch with a kitty & read the news of the day.
During practice it came to me — I am content. Relaxed, [...]
Okay, fascinating article in the NY Times Well blog today. Beloved Husband has had some bizarre muscle cramps recently, and HEAB’s blog yesterday mentioned loving pickle juice way back when! http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2010/06/08/the-iron-results/
Back to the bitchin’ yoga schedule — will discuss that tomorrow! Pickles today!

Well, we signed a lease in Tampa!
Found a three bedroom, two story townhouse. The place is gorgeous, huge & right along the Bay. It will be a rough few years… Has a fireplace, wine bar (!!), painted emerald green downstairs, sage green & light blue upstairs. There is a yoga room, with dark hardwood floors & much potential. Grey [...]
Beloved Husband & I are off to Tampa tomorrow for a week to search out new digs in preparation for next month’s move. Here’s hoping for good huntin’!!:)
