Most of us in this neck of the woods might think, Utah?
Um, no.
Ogden, The Inappropriate Yoga Guy.
Three major things come up for me with Ogden. One, I was truly mortified when I first saw his YouTube video a few weeks ago. I thought that while a true depiction of some “yoga guys” I’ve seen in yoga classes, he was just awful. And I felt he was mocking yoga. (Might I add that while teaching yoga class a few years ago, one of my male students actually drawled, “Oh…talk slower.” WHAT?!)
Check out Elephant Journal’s website article of the top 20 YouTube videos of all things yoga. Seems like I’ll have to comment back to them that they’ve forgotten the “Making the Anusara Syllabus Poster” video I posted below.
Check out this groovy new mat. May not do the trick in a packed studio, but I’m thinking I could totally learn to press up into a handstand on one of these…
It is AMAZING how your personal practice can change throughout your life. Six years ago, I practiced about four hours a day, probably six days per week. Three years ago, I practiced maybe once a month. This time last year, depending on the weather, an hour and a half per day either inside or on the back deck, rocking to some good tunes.
Today, I think I began my practice at about noon and just finished around 3:15 p.m.
I’ll be returning from maternity leave beginning Monday, March 30, 2009, at 6:30 p.m. Many, many thanks to Tiffany for teaching this class during my leave.
Also, beginning in June, I’ll be teaching a Pre/Postnatal Yoga class as a six-week series. This class will meet on Wednesday mornings at 11:00, start date TBA. A note to postnatal moms: You are so very welcome to bring your wee one to class with you. Just be sure to bring your infant carrier so baby can be comfortable during class.
::Introducing Thomas Ewan Pantier::
Ewan, 12 days old
Ewan was born on February 16th at 7:59 p.m., weighing in at 7 lb 15 oz and stretching out to 20 3/4″ long. He’s just as content as he can be, as long as his Buddha belly is full. We all swear that he’s smiling already!
Each day, I receive a “yoga inspiration” in my email box from the Yoga Journal editors. This one I share with you because completely resonates with me on so many levels. From a physical practice level, I find that many of us are searching for those hidden parts of ourselves that can teach us more – those parts “less evolved.” From my background as a counselor (previous career), I find that Bo Forbes is right on in his quick assessment of the following:
Interesting read in the Boulder Daily Camera today. Off season’s about to end, eh? Have fun training! 
Hi everyone!
It’s time for me to bid farewell until mid-March due to some persistent contractions here lately! It seems that I need to settle down a bit and have an event-free next few weeks until this little boy is in a healthier place for delivery. Keep checking back for posts, and have a very happy New Year. See you soon!
