The Yoga Club’s very first ad will be right here.

When I first started coming to DC, I would go to a little coffee house at 22nd and P (love to Soho!) to hang out, spending time reading all of my favorite (read: free + edgy) DC newspapers— The Blade, the City Paper... and Pathways.

Each of these publications has struggled to stay in print over the last 10 years. I likely don’t need to tell y’all about the rapidly changing face of media— and how it has adversely impacted queer journalism, alt-newspapers, and trade-zines.

For y’all that haven’t been here for 30 years, lemmie tell ya: Pathways is the OG DC natural living/holistic health trade publication. Last year, Pathways didn’t have a print publication (due largely to the pandemic... and the changing landscape of readership).

One of the reasons i love DC so much is precisely because i was able to find my tribe— and so much of that is due to publications like this. Who knew that the local publications i loved growing up I’d eventually get to work with?

We went with Pathways first because it’s owned by my bestie’s bestie— and you know I love family owned and friend-ran.

For 7 years, my yoga program, DC Ashtanga, was fiercely independent and grassroots — and while we remain firmly non-commercial, the Yoga Club (my new practice space) wants to help others find community while also supporting and elevating others in our community.

While DC ashtanga will remain a grassroots practice group (as it always has been), we’re now proudly in residence in our new home at theyoga.club, and it is a pro ledge to help Pathways relaunch in print, so that other little woo woo gays can find a copy... and a tribe.

The conclusion I draw:

@kingsdominionva has a business model that neccistates any of the following:

-child labor

-work visas for immigrants

-households with multiple incomes and a shared pool... where the other wage earner makes significantly more than $13-15/hr.

This isn’t a livable wage as an adult.

So!

Am i to understand that this is a job for children?

When I was younger, they hired Russians and Ukrainians to come in and do it.

Because it wasn’t a livable wage 25 years ago.

And there weren’t enough children Virginian children who could labor.

In our culture privacy is often confused with secrecy. Open, honest,
truth-telling individuals value privacy. We all need spaces where we
can be alone with thoughts and feelings - where we can experience
healthy psychological autonomy and can choose to share when we
want to. Keeping secrets is usually about power, about hiding and
concealing information.

Side bending is one of the most lovely ways a spine can move.

Here’s a love letter to this humble tadasana variation.

1) I love that you are so free of frills. Your simplicity and elegance highlight how even the most minuscule of changes can impact the way things feel in a posture dramatically.

2) I love that you let me decide how much to push and how much to pull-- I just have to lean and breathe. You help to highlight the push and pull from the side of the body, but also the deep muscles inside like my transverse abdominals and disphrapgm! You help me understand the layers of stability a posture can have— and you don't make me go very far to discover what is comfortable and stable!

3) I love that you help so many kinds of backs feel so good! Little side bend, you do a world of good for folks who have rounding, swaying, or curving to the spine-- things like kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis.

Thanks, side-bend!
💬 Comment
Side bending, aka lateral flexion, done from an inverted position challenges the stability of the foundation. Keeping the head on the ground can help immensely, but the shoulders and their associated muscles reap a lot of benefit because they have to keep the weight anchored. This is in some ways easier in lotus because of its compact nature... and in some ways harder, because finding true hip extension as opposed to lumbar extension isn’t so easy... give this a try and tell me how it goes.
💬 Comment
Keeping the butt down when side bending is tough.... but so worth it!

A common compensation for lateral flexion of the spine is asymetric hip elevation— and its easily masked/ignored with asymmetric leg positions. Those outter hip and thigh muscles on the pelvis are designed to move the leg away from the midline and help create an anchor so that you can work with gravity to side bend the spine. But what happens when one side starts to lift up?

The solution is in clue— find a way to keep your butt down! In this set up, I’m exploring end range of motion strength in hip external rotation and abduction— and using my bottom arm to avoid compensation (aka give my hip a chance to stay down!!).

When able to control the foundation (especially from the closer-to-center proximal part), in this case the strength of the hip, you get better at controlling the movement of the spine— and then can even add weight to it by reaching the other arm over head.

“Tight” adductors (the squeezer-inners) lead to weak abductors (the pusher-outters)— so start where you are — create a setup that helps you target what you wanna target... and enjoy the ride!
