It is January. You did it. You got through December and the holidays with their endless demands and now it is time to focus on yourself. You may have started the year with bold resolutions or meekly tip-toed into the new year without wanting to commit to anything dramatic. No matter the way you welcomed […]

Life is funny.  We get mired in the details of things.  We get swept into drama.  We have to work hard to keep things in perspective at times.  And then there are other times when you are forced into perspective–a little variation of Clarence showing you what a wonderful life you really do have.  So

Maybe it’s why I like high tide so much.  Walking through Boston or any other harbor, seeing the water level super high just makes me smile. It’s a fullness close to bursting, there is no room for any more–the abundance of it never ceases to astound me.  If only we could feel that high tide

I feel a little like Buddy the Elf…..YOU DID IT!!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR

Many of our yoga poses stem from Hindu deities.  The Hindu goddess Shiva avenged someone by creating the warrior Virabhadra.  And so we practice warrior poses (named after the warrior, Virabhadrasana), not to honor acts of violence but to find a way inward, or introspection in our practice.

Coming back to stillness.  That is what it all about. We unrolled our mats.  For many of the people in the room it was the first time they had done so all summer, others had kept their practice up; different for everyone.  Tall seat, eyes closed, tuning in to the inner self, the breath, being

I’m on vacation this week, enjoying some wonderful lakeside R&R in Maine.  A beautiful spot not only for its physical beauty but its annual reminder to live more simply and in tune with nature. I said good-bye to the folks in my yoga classes last week as I will not be teaching again until September.
