My Yoga Muse: “The Quietest Place in the Universe”

http://proudfootyoga.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-quietest-place-in-universe.html

Monday, June 22, 2015. 8220;The Quietest Place in the Universe”. This title of an article in Harper’s magazine naturally caught my attention. I have studied the yoga sutras, read the commentaries, memorized a few of them, chanted some of them (though I make no claim to being anywhere near a scholar of them) and I always come back to “yoga is the stilling/quieting of the fluctuations of the mind” as the sutra that calls to me most. In Lead, there is a deep hole, possibly one of the deepest in the world.

My Yoga Muse: Zero Phase

http://proudfootyoga.blogspot.com/2015/03/zero-phase.html

Monday, March 23, 2015. Zero phase, in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, is the moment when the hand is touching the skin but there is no pressure. During the training, our teacher would come around and ask the one on the table receiving if the giver was getting their zero phase. Very often, they were not. The lightness of touch requires enormous concentration. How fascinating that the resting of the hand is the most difficult to master. With every movement, there is a zero phase. They close at the zero point.

My Yoga Muse: December 2013

http://proudfootyoga.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 2, 2013. Breath as Beloved: Pranayama. Breathing is about as intimate as it gets. Every cell of the body requires breath for what is called cellular respiration – taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. We take in air - our atmosphere – into our cells. The pathway is a bit complex if you stop to notice it:. From the nose to the pharynx to the larynx to the trachea and into the lungs to the pulmonary capillaries to the heart to the aorta and finally to the individual cells. Breathi...

My Yoga Muse: October 2014

http://proudfootyoga.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 5, 2014. The Passing of a Great Being. The days following his death, I set up a small altar at the front of the class to honor his life. On the Thursday class, I “accidently” left a mat out on the floor beside mine. As I began the class, I suddenly noticed the mat and laughed at myself. Someone in the class thought I had done it intentionally for Mr. Iyengar. I moved the altar onto the mat. A short time into the class I suddenly felt nervous, as if he was on the mat observing me teach.

Friday, March 15, 2013. The Meaning Of Life and Everything. Years ago, my brother told me a story he loved from the. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The story goes like this: A computer was built that could compute bigger and better than any computer. It was a super computer. Everyone was very excited. They sat down and gave the computer their most important question: ‘What is the meaning of life and everything? When I lived in the Philippines we said that you could tell how long someone had lived ther...

My Yoga Muse: Yoga Nourishment

http://proudfootyoga.blogspot.com/2014/12/yoga-nourishment.html

Monday, December 29, 2014. After a recent conversation I began asking myself:. In what way does my yoga practice provide nourishment to me? I feel around me, among many I dearly love and those I meet through my teaching and individual work, a need for the nourishment of the rain after a drought. An interesting medley of thoughts came in response to my question. I offer them here to all of us as we move in a world that might be too dry or too wet or in bodies and spirits that are hurting or exhausted.
