Same same, but different: taught some classes, lifted and sprinted, banana smoothie. Bed. Coffee. Kapo. This is the format of my life for a while.
Last day of return-to-America inspired Primary series. First day of return-to-America CrossFit. Artsy photos comin' in one month.

In Bangalore, waiting to pay for my overweight bag. We're both gonna need to hit the gym this week. Seriously: all my love for all to whom I've said "See ya soon." The adventure isn't over, here nor there.

Goodnight, Mysore. Don't be sad. We can say goodbye tomorrow.
In my Indian swan song, something unexpected and new: rain.
69 practices down, one to go. "Don't leave until you've left."
I once saw the other side of the universe and it was all the same and made of love. God is love and in the details. Surrender, surrender, control, surrender. Love.
Sometimes I want to live in a cave and not have to be a member of society. #yoga #wouldmakeashittysadhu

My parents were married on the first day of Spring-- a time when the chill is thawed and blooms rebound. Happy 30th, Gail and Mike (aka: Mom & Dad): you inspire me everyday.
reframing: I still have 1/6 of my adventure left.
I might be the only person here loving the 97 degrees.
In India, the honey bees are happy: it is almost impossibly frustrating to find an item not sweetened naturally with jaggery, honey, or sugar.

I don't think that ashtanga practice is the "best" style, but I certainly think that for those willing to give themselves over to the principals it espouses, it can be powerful. I think this blog post is onto something (though, i think the something it is onto can be found in Iyengar and Sivananda yoga, too).

A slow coffee morning before led primary at the shala. Here's hoping the onslaught of Indian heat has scared up space for me. #mysore
