Cage Match: Einstein vs. Monet | ManyDoors Blog
https://manydoors.wordpress.com/2008/08/09/cage-match-einstein-vs-monet
Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. August 9, 2008. Cage Match: Einstein vs. Monet. I’ve asked this question in class a few times, but usually y’all can’t answer because you’re balancing on one leg with your left knee over your shoulder and looking behind you. Who understood light better, Einstein or Monet? Now Einstein, he understood the whole wave-particle duality issue. He figured out how finite energy quanta can be fixed in a point of space, worked out the speed of light in space. I even had...

Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. February 16, 2012. Would you please NOT shut up, already…. The New York Times and NPR say that yoga’s going to hurt you. The John Friend debacle is proof that all teachers are going to abuse you. Wanderlust’s new ticket policies prove that it’s all about the money. Twenty-two bucks for a drop-in? Are you kidding me? Our patience is wearing thin and the vitriol is revving up. Laquo; Whoops, I did it again. All of this manifesting mumbo jumbo is new age and not ...

Got Malaria? What you need is a good vote! | ManyDoors Blog
https://manydoors.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/got-malaria-what-you-need-is-a-good-vote
Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. July 10, 2008. What you need is a good vote! There’s an old quote:. If you teach a cannibal to eat with a knife and fork, is it progress? Why is it that we as a nation have come to believe that our most important export is voting? Don’t get me wrong, I believe that giving a voice to the people is a good thing, but we’ve become a bit myopic about this. I mean, honestly. Independent judiciary, legislative and executive branches would be on there. I’m not holding...

Ok, let’s start with the bad news… | ManyDoors Blog
https://manydoors.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/ok-lets-start-with-the-bad-news
Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. August 31, 2008. Ok, let’s start with the bad news…. I picked up the September 2008 edition of Shambhala Sun in Whole Foods last week. It has an article called The World We Have , which is excerpted from Thich Nhat Hanh’s latest book. I won’t go through the entire article, but let me pull out one interesting passage that echoes some of what I’ve been thinking about lately. The American dream is no longer possible for the Americans. Growth is implicit, expected.

Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. September 4, 2009. The Joy of Being a Student. Why spend all that money? Why take all that time? When I got back, I had a bunch of emails from people asking how it was. It seems that there is a concern that I’m coming back with a whole new repertoire of evil, complicated poses and that we’re all going to be starting tomorrow morning in one armed thumbstand or something. Let me assuage your concerns with a quick summary of my training:. Number of wheels I did: 0.

Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. March 5, 2011. Whoops, I did it again. Many of you know of my interest in Naikan. The universe laughs at hubris. And then, usually, it smacks you directly upside the head. The smug bastard was enjoying this. I hoped he’d spill it all over his crappy middle seat. Back to page 1 I guess.

Meera’s Lesson | ManyDoors Blog
https://manydoors.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/meeras-lesson
Taking the conversation beyond the yoga mat. July 1, 2008. I had this odd experience today as I drove home from burying Meera. In retrospect, I guess it’s probably something most people who have a trauma like this hit their lives feel, but I wasn’t prepared for it and it set off a string of reactions. I heard these two women talking about whether they should get a salad or a sandwich for lunch and I found myself thinking, How can you possibly stand there and worry about what to have for lunch? I already ...
