Today in Guatemala at the Kula Collective Yoga Teacher Training we had a guest come in to talk about Ayurveda. You know I love to study Ayurveda. One thing odd to me in the past few years is that I believe my nature is changing. Now this is not possible. You are born a dosha […]
I do believe today to be Wednesday. Yesterday was the full moon of November 12th and apparently the number 12 means a lot to the Mayans. I somehow spaced out so I don’t remember what. What I did remember of yesterday was a wonderful yoga practice where I was helped into Trikonasana by one of […]
So it’s 8:30 pm and we just finished up a very long day. Started at 6:30 with a yoga practice. It’s super cold in the am so the body is super tight. It was a rough go and all about shoulders which is my issue. I got through it. At breakfast everyone was talking about […]
I’ve decided I’m going to share my experience with all of you through my Journal. I’ve done this in the past and it is always kinda scary to let you guys actually know the me in me, but I think the sharing is part of the process. Someday I want to lead a yoga teacher […]
The masses have been deluded in that last few thousand years to live in the present moment and turn problems over to a higher authority.
About 100 years ago we entered into a 200 year transition to Dwapara Yuga. This time period will last about 2,000 years and truth and compassion must prevail. If you are living under a rock you may not realize the great divide taking place this week in Cincinnati with the actions of MAGA wearing boys from […]
Below is a process I go through every year to release the past year and freely move into the next. The 5 Sutras for the Aquarian Age were given to us by Yogi Bhajan to help us navigate as we shift out of the Age of Pisces and into the Age of Aquarius. This shift […]
Jogging vs. Yoga. Why not just go for a jog? When jogging you get your heart rate up and sweat. You burn about 500 calories in a 45 minute job. In a typical hatha yoga class you only burn 150 calories. Sweat? Well, in yoga the Sutras of Patanjali explain when you have lost control […]
Wiping my reading glasses on my shirt. Giving up. Getting another pair of glasses and again, dirty. Where is the glass cleaner because I want to see what is truly there? What is truly there?
Today is my birthday. I’ve turned 49 at 5:37 this morning. I didn’t wake up for it which I usually do. It’s been one hell of a year with many highs and many lows… I’ll just leave it at that for now. Actually I won’t. Menopause sucks. Blending a family is hard if not impossible. […]
There appears to be a deep-seated misunderstanding in the yoga community about Non Violence or what we call Ahimsa. Ahimsa is one of the yamas or the personal code s of conduct for yogis. There are five codified by the Sage Patanjali. Generally, Ahimsa is translated as non-violence in thought, word, and deed. It’s really […]
The Gurus have predicted as we continue our shift to the Age of Aquarius we will see endemic Anxiety, Depression, and Suicide. The World Health Organization agrees and predicts by 2020, depression will be the 2nd leading cause of disease for the world. We can blame it on the times we are in or we […]
My dog, Cheddar, died on Monday, March 27th, 2017 as the new moon approached it’s zenith. Oh…wtf…it was a new moon but I don’t know where it was on it’s journey because on my journey I was crying. My dog didn’t even die, I mean she did, but I chose to put her to sleep. […]
This blog is from our very own, Sandy Kingsley and I can’t agree with her more. My aging body has gotten so used to it’s usual moves I find changing up my physical practice keeps me strong and the confusion in the my body keeps all the muscles firing. Please enjoy and visit Sandy on Tuesdays in Symmes at 6:30 pm.
Our Elemental OM tribe, if you can imagine, leans to the left and loves the color green so the last couple of days at the studio have been interesting.
Our week of silence has begun at EOM studios and lots of folks have been wondering why. I’ve been asked if it’s because of the mass shooting in Orlando, the hopelessness of the presidential election, or possible climate shift. While I am moved by all of these things, it is not. It’s interesting to note, […]
I came to yoga when I was pregnant, and really just wanted to do something for my body while experiencing all the changes a woman’s body goes through for 9 months.
I am cracking up uploading hOMework that is boring! Not so boring though.
