Yoga room/guest bedroom gets its bed.
Happy pride.
Off to AYA2. Rabbit hole, looking glass.

Saturday run! #charliegram
So, did everyone on this block go for the "accidental" fire insurance money or nah? @wcp
This line at the DMV has me missing camping tremendously.

Hey elephriend! So shady! @kingsdominionva
I can't even tag this video in good conscience.
Gone camping!
My 20s were pretty rad.
The perfect photo to repost on the eve of my 32nd birthday!
・・・#tbt My man @michaeljoelhall as an aspiring child actor. So cute!

Home life.

#MortalsWelcome Day 12: Hanumanasana: Hanuman is the super-strong, super-rad flying monkey who can carry mountains, jump over seas, and tie you in knots. This champion of Rama teaches us devotion and represents prana, or life force.
Every super hero also needs courage in the face of fear and Hanuman is there to help! Just call him through his hymn, the Hanuman Challisa, and fear will be kept at bay as the energetic and powerful lord Hanuman helps champion your battle.

My Mom & Pop owned a car dealership named Nashcars when I was a kid. I just now get the play on words throwback.
Someone's ready. #charliegram
Yeah! Remember May 22!
Date!

I got heady with @jrene01 about the commodification of yoga (and our own general badassness) -- who is selling what to whom... And why?
Asana is method of using the body as a tool for fostering insight. That's it.
This instagram challenge gives it the exact right level of seriousness.
Have fun! Go out and live your life!
And lest I deign myself to good to participate in an IG challenge, here's what I said to myself: get your head out of your ass, Hall. It really should only be that far up there in titibasana b 😉 Love you, @pegmulqueen !

The littlest joy might be the biggest. A home I can handstand in.
Shut the fuck up.

Dad! Don't you want a nappy?
Befuddled by Supta Kurmasana?
We all eventually struggle with unlocking complex asanas-- but like a well written mystery, the clues are hiding in plain sight.
Let's double back and look at the evidence and see if we can crack the case.

#todaysrangoli is the fine work of @inkfideltattoo -- #Watercolour #Rangoli #TreeOfLife #tattosofinstagram #watercolortattoo #tattoo #watercolor-- thanks @adatravels for inspiring.
So glad to be home! At @amayanaomi house hanging with Gus & Charlie.
Snuggles.
Repost from @mroike -- Happy 1st Birthday you little rat! I love you! #charliegram #puppylove
Guess I dodged a bullet. Wouldn't start when I came to look at it.
Join me at the Yoga Co-Op on Sunday at 3!
The FBI called: case closed. Hate crime by way of the media, but how do you talk about black on white violence? No more leads.
Do you want your blood stained clothes returned? DNA, nay nay.
Burn it. Burn that shit. Just like the house. Burn it all and get rid of the blood.
So much anger between communities-- easier to sell papers by calling it black-on-queer. Black-on-white crime opens too many doors. It doesn't sell papers. It makes us ask too many questions.
Maybe we can understand better the anger. Maybe we can better understand each other. Maybe we can live without boundaries-- maybe we can live in a place of unity. Maybe we already are, except we're pretending we aren't-- and maybe that's the place from which the feeling of pressure and subsequent hate comes.
I'll never be the same again-- but that's always true. Cycles of death and rebirth. But I'm not this body, and I'm not this mind... But I am. And you are too.
All is full of love; case closed.

Mapusa bazzar is an assault on all of the senses. The dried fish, cooking coconut oil, vendors, bag makers... The list goes on.
Mapsua market getting set up. A #mansionhouse sign for @mroike
Still under wraps.... Shhhh... Can't wait to share the incredible work that Duncan at @inkfideltattoo created for me. I had such an incredible experience with then in Goa.
Happy Easter from Goa!
A shoe tree! Happy Easter!
Unexpected fireworks.
What to pick? Hand made amazingness.
Saturday Night Market. #arpora
The view of the moon next to the dance floor.
Night market in Arpora with @ashtangee and @emmaoneill
Arambol was a bit windy.
A lovely lunch with some lovely people. Best shack food yet-- pineapple paneer tikka & a mango lassi.
Everyone.
Ships.
Not so sneaky temple in #anjuna.
Our usual spot at #petesshack.
#fbf to when I used to be buff. Fact: I miss lifting & fully intend to return to it.
Did I make it in time for #journeytohandstand ?? -- @pegmulqueen wins. I was a little jealous of your time in Kovalum with DG, @jrene01... But this is pretty fly, right? Eat your heart out #dcashtanga
Hidden under the canopy of trees on the way down to casa baptista.
A beautiful morning on the Arabian Sea. #Candolim is beautiful.

Stole a moment to go to "our" spot in #anjuna. Wishing @mroike were here with me.

Bangalore ✈️✈️ Goa
Tippu Express to Bangalore.
On my way to the framer.
Getting my Mac charger repaired charlie chewed it, finally she died.
This year, I received my teacher's blessing to teach Ashtanga Yoga.
I have to get on that smiling wagon.
current mood
One more!
All the details. #sherwani #indianwedding
Many blessings are there. Coming home with prayer scrolls for #chamundishwari
Fancy shirt for marriage. Wishing I could wear for mine. #appropriation #crisis
My tailor, Ganesh, preparing my shirt alterations. Last year, he did an incredible job. Glad to find him down the correct back alley on my first attempt.
Bead shopping at Chandra Diamond with @emmaoneill -- she is making malas for japa at the request of her students.
Complimented this gal on her fly glasses. We'd never met. We were both surprised-- we've both been coming a while. Her: Hong Kong for a while, back to Toronto. By way of Barcelona. Me: Oh, just DC. This small community is still so huge.
For the record she thought my glasses were fly, too.

I'm too tall for the tarps 😡 oop. Nikki asked me to wear proper trousers and a sleeve into the city to make for a better experience. It was good advice. I thought of @tara_lizbeth telling me to "put on a denim!" before going out, not liking my short-shorts. Growth is there.
#ganesh the fruitwallah
Tuesdate. Sent @mroike and #charliegram presents and got to watch them open 'em. I miss my boys a lot. Hardest and shortest, this trip. Funny, that.
Playing with my new logo.
Contemplating relationship, love, time, and forgiveness. Oh, and tattoos. Def tattoos.
Green city, indeed.
Caught a picture of this gorgeous bird mid-flight as I crossed the bridge.
Time to go home! #Somnathpur to #mysore
Flute.
So many cells. The energy vibrations are palpable inside them.
Woah. Huge.
Over a doorway.
Ceiling. Contemplate the infinite.
She is huge #Somnathpur

Remind you of anyone @mroike
Thousands of carvings.
Not the only one mugging.

"Given Uranus square Pluto's intensities, it may feel like an urgency to finish up, close out projects or goals or relationships, and prepare for something new to arrive. Take a moment now to think about the final changes you want to make before we enter a quite different era. Consider what you've done so far and how you can put on the finishing touches. What bits can you release, what parts of life can you make more soulful, how can you reclaim power for yourself?" ~ Anne Nordhaus-Bike

Here it is, the final crescendo of the 7 fiery Uranus/Pluto Squares burning through outdated societal and personal paradigms since June 2012... a Great Cosmic Bonfire roaring through our inner and outer spaces... liberating and illuminating new expanses of awareness... creating fertile opportunities for the seeding a of brand new existence... "Kali is here. That means that deep transformation is at work in your vibrational reality... Kali is the fiercest Goddess. She rips away what is no longer needed... she is the One who can cut the ties to your anchor, for you have new waters to sail now, dear Carrier of the Light." ~ Sophie Bashford "Monday March 16th 2015 at 6:50pm PDT/9:50pm EDT, Uranus and Pluto will square (90*) each other for the 7th and last time since 2012. The wild awakening of the 60s' conjunction (0*) of Pluto and Uranus in Virgo wasg to a deeper and higher consciousness, opening up doors of new perception and states of awareness. This was to prepare humanity for our future.

Date night with @sarceb -- seeing focus!
Repost from @gmd81 -- What life are you really loving? Who makes your decisions? What road are you following? You have the power to be a leader. To step aside from the path of normal, to unplug from the matrix and to set your life on fire. But it takes a risk, a leap of faith. Do you truly believe in yourself? If life is a gift, isn't every single day worth living to its absolute fullest? #live #now #quote #instagram #quoteoftheday #benjaminfranklin #startyourlife #empower
Took a nap & dreamed I bought a sailboat with a little engine.
Today's cow. To see more of Mysore's fine bovine, checkout @emmaoneill ! #todayscow
What would we name him?
I've been inspired by @emmaoneill to keep a daily ledger of one of my favorite favorite devotions. #rangoli #todayspattern #todaysrangoli
"It's not about what it is..."
Today's rangoli.
Washed, now to dry.
Laundry day!
The sound of my Karandavasana fail froze the Shala for a second. Sickening. Luckily, it looks worse than it feels, and I still have mobility. At least I lifted 😉
Last one. Charlie, you nut.
I mean honestly.

Missing my boys. Especially this nutter.

Just another day in mysore. Still getting adjusted to the Saturday practice/Sunday off thing. I'm like, "what day is it??"
I don't think they mean cats.
Fresh haircut. Manjanat insisted on putting a line in. He knows what's up. #onfleek #ashtangadispatch
I've been humbled and honored to share the yogic tradition as taught by Sharath Jois, the lineage of Sri K Pattahbi Jois with the #dcashtanga community... And I could not be more full of gratitude for the chance to share it with my student at the source. @livelyogini

Breakfast.
Good mooooooooooorning, Goookukum! (to the tune of that song from "Hairspray")
Logan Circle, gentrified.

I love *some* indian sweets. The gamble of sugar roulette. Milk Peda was a win. Condensed milk cookie it's not pictured in the case because I ate them.
Set Dosa is life.
I love Zoe so much. My soft landing spot in her & Scott's puja room.
What do you call cheese made for flights?
Thought I'd post a rolled up runway next to another one. I guess that was evening prax.
Early morning in the Middle East.
Next stop, Bengaluru. Doha, Qatar for now.
Six weeks down the rabbit hole.
Four (almost five now) years ago My father gave me three elephants.
I left one at the Ashtanga Yoga Center amongst a parade of kin. Under a chart of postures-- just aside of books, stacked akimbo. They were for my teachers, David and Keith.
I thought them very special.
Unsure of what to do with this diminutive glass menagerie, I gave one to my best friend, Michael. "Why should I have both," I thought.
I hear that elephants mate for life.
Leaving has never been so hard. I took this photo on the alter @mroike made for us.

"Sit" by Vikram Seth
Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some life ahead.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.
The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.
