Not so grand reopening. Driftwood (friday foto finder) →. Distorted views through ice. April 2, 2015. Part of what was keeping me busy over the last few months was winter. It was a long hard winter. There was so very much ice and snow. Record-breaking quantities of snow. It’s really quite hard to reconcile this sparkling beauty with the knowledge that it was the herald of thousands of dollars worth of damage to the house. This entry was posted in life. Not so grand reopening. April 3, 2015 at 12:23 pm.

Newer posts →. December 9, 2015. A festive holiday ball that someone dropped in an icy parking lot a couple of years ago. (I’m happy to say that this year, we haven’t yet had more than a few stray flakes of snow. I know it’s coming, but I’m not ready for it yet. I’m still recovering from last winter.). So much for trying to blog daily for the month of November like I’d done the past 7 years. Not only did I drop the ball. November 26, 2015. The turkeys didn’t visit us today, which is Thanksgiving in...

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: Things that Yoga has Ruined...
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2011/07/things-that-yoga-has-ruined.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Things that Yoga has Ruined. 1 My need to keep the feet covered. Get 'em out of the shoes, get 'em out of the shoes! I realized this during class last month, when I had a new student with flat feet who wanted to keep her sneakers on because bare footed was painful with her fallen arches. I was so distracted by her shoes (not aesthetically), because I couldn't conceive of a well-balanced Trikonasana. And so on&...

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: March 2011
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Continuing with the theme of how we learn.what's the role of the teacher, the role of the student. I think I'd like to see those boundaries get a bit more mixed up. I don't think the person in front of the room is all-knowing nor should we expect that of him/her- teachers are human beings, just like everyone else, with a bit more experience in a specific area. That I have a problem with. Can sit with uncertainty.

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: More things yoga ruined...
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-things-yoga-ruined.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Friday, September 16, 2011. More things yoga ruined. It was fun to think about things that yoga ruined. You all came up with a good list and now, with some continued thought, I've come up with some more. I think it's why I tend to avoid the Yoga Wars these days; how can you argue with some one about their beliefs (and that's fundamentally what all that is about- what everyone believes. Their yoga to be)? In parenthood, endurance sports...

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: Honoring the Sleeve-Passions
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2012/01/honoring-sleeve-passions.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Monday, January 02, 2012. I thought that was a brilliant observation, and I often consider it when making. Next move. And my moves have been sort of disparate, but they still follow a me-specific logic that, I hope, stays true to those sleeve-passions: journalism, art history, costume design, yoga, more journalism, and, now, biology (in preparation for some sort of teaching/writing). Brenda’s Bugle,. Vol 2, No. 5 (March, 1978). Maybe t...

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: Eyes Wide Shut
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2012/01/eyes-wide-shut.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Monday, January 23, 2012. We did ardha chandrasana. Last week. Against the wall. Most of my students are older and the strength and balance needed to hold the pose in the center of the room take it off the menu for them. It’s such a great pose, that’s it’s a shame to eliminate it, so we do it against the wall and it becomes a release pose. Really, it does, you should try it. People closed their eyes. Emotionally, it feels like flying&#...

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: April 2011
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Sunday, April 03, 2011. With the Inner Critic. Do we all agree (sort of) that yoga is working with. Your body rather than against. At least in this day and age (I'm not sure you can call keeping your arm raised for a couple of years. Working with, but maybe that's just me). Are we trying to make peace with our bodies and quiet the monkey-mind, or are we trying to discipline the soft tissue? Erica had a nice post. Build a Yoga Community.

Grounding Thru The Sit Bones: A Not Un-familiar Metaphor
http://groundingthruthesitbones.blogspot.com/2011/08/not-un-familiar-metaphor.html
Grounding Thru The Sit Bones. Some yoga thoughts, Some yoga practice. Tuesday, August 09, 2011. A Not Un-familiar Metaphor. I've been Xtreme gardening lately. After about three years of benign neglect (courtesy of little boys who need close supervision outside), I've been able to turn my attention back to massive prairie weeds and runaway ferns. Cathartic, if exhausting. And then there's the peripheral knowledge that just comes with life experience- things picked up along the way that are relevant eventu...
