I think Gaga's ARTPOP is fantastic. Cohesive, urban leanings, housey sleaze, and a versatile voice. Sorta glad others don't like it.
Closer & closer.
I love our community and our space.
Fell asleep in sivasana today. Yesterday I took a long proper rest, which I rarely do. How long do y'all take?
The last 2/3rds of "if/then" were outstanding. High emotion for those wrestling with life.
Can you do your practice, have a practice, without criticizing or condemning someone else's? Haters gonna love this.
I love sharing yoga.
Apple Magic.
Saw the new Carrie. Never saw the original Carrie. I cried most of the movie. I'm scared of teenagers & telekinesis-- in that order.
That moment when you realize NO ONE had told you there is toothpaste ALL over your face.
Sweet 🙂
Someone took off Mousika's driver-side mirror. Poor baby.
Revel.
Woah. Beginners luck.
It really irks me, tho I appreciate the outlier factor, when there is gender pricing parity. http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/two-sided-markets-part-i/
Does what it says on the tin.
Our Hotel in Atlantic City!
Finally has a phone of his own.
I just discovered that the largest church in DC, Mt Cavalry, is only a stones throw from my house in NE. Pastor Owens preaches against "sissies and faggots" from his pulpit to 7,000 members. They offer ex-gay ministries. How much of this is to blame for the assault last year? Contact the church at 202-529-4547
Tumeric maple grits and turnips. I really need to go grocery shopping.
October 2013
And a sense that I'd entered into an Ashtanga version of a Dan Brown novel as I woke up realizing Norman Allen hadn't really tried to break my rib in my sleep.
10 years clean.
Princess Sparklepony joins me for prax.
Princess Sparklepony & Mula Bandha. She likes Vatayanasana.
Gaga, Britney, & Lemon Jelly gets Mula Bandha to my dance floor. Bitch can *move*.
Thinking of Tova today.
"I can be the green in your blunt." "Do what you want, whatcha want with my body."
I knew better with those cookies.
these halloween cookies in my house. effing cookie kryptonite. powerless.
an "Ashtanga yoga? Fuck yeah!" kinda morning. Danced off my mat into the sun.
Bipedal locomotion. Cars in the shop.
So excited that a vipassana meditation center, Dhamma Delaware, is only two hours away. She opens her doors in January.
So many samskaras to burn through, so little time.
It won't happen over night, but it *always* happens overnight.
"I got those arms into a bind on Sunday--not that my bind was the epitome of the workshop, but still..." --highlight of my day-- from one of my "Makin' Shapes" workshop participants at Little River Yoga.
proactive > reactive > no practice
Go wildly-offensively named local sports team!
My spiritual practice juxtaposed with ancient art inspired by others' own sadhana. Peg & I were art for the Smithsonian tonight... Like moon rocks, ruby slippers, and "Starry Nights." 5000 years of yogic art indeed. Om Namah Shivaya.
So honoured to be presenting a demonstration of Ashtanga Yoga for "The Art of Transformation" Opening Night Gala at the Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries.
back on the grid!
