Appreciation Equations
It’s a good thing I like math. Unfortunately, long day + 3 tired children = -Me (as in negative, as in depleted) Fortunately, shaven legs + summer weather = shorts in late September clear skies + an amazing sunrise = an orange, blue, and lavender SF Bay 6 suns + 2 warriors + 2 Gingko […]
A day at the beach
Ok, well, maybe not a day… but meditating for 10 minutes while sitting on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on one of the warmest days of the summer (fall?!), with crashing waves and a (literally) killer riptide, can do wonders for the psyche. It’s amazing how much I was able to clarify in those […]
Morning rain and sun salutes
Woke up this morning to some sweet morning rain. We need it so badly that it made me happy. Decided to start my day with some sun salutations. I didn’t want to overdue, so did 5 and then played on my back before ending with a 10 minute meditation. Namaste, G
searching for silver linings
“We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope … … Step into the silence Take it in your own two hands And scatter it like diamonds All across these lands Blaze it in the morning Wear it like an iron skin Only things worth living for Innocence and magic, Amen” […]
Weekend warriors, suns and a harvest moon
It was a busy, wild and wacky weekend here. I had to work Saturday, but was fortunate to be outside most of the day enjoying the beautiful fall weather. I was able to fit in 15 minutes of yoga and meditation before I left in the morning. It was a nice way to warm up […]
Happy Autumnal Equinox!
Wow, what a beautiful warm day for our first day of fall. Tonight a full moon will rise. Everything is aligned and my yoga felt great today. Took some time at lunch to practice some suns, twist and dogs. Thought about eating a hot dog, but resisted. Dropped into savasana and let the morning slip […]
Back on my feet
I spent all weekend on my feet for work and they feel fantastic! I’m SO happy and relieved. Started in half lotus with lots of pranayama, then some twists and plow. Couldn’t resist doing some suns in the morning sunshine. It was just the spark I needed to start the week! Namaste, G
September Sunday in Santa Fe … and Seville.
Today, I took a journey during yoga. Do you do that some times? If so, where was the last place you traveled to during your practice? While yogaing for 40 minutes today, I had on my “Seville to Santa Fe” Spanish guitar CD. While going through my movements, I began to recall how it “FEELS” […]
Up with a twist
Unfortunately, we aren’t talking martinis here! Saw the podiatrist this morning and got some semi-good news. No standing poses for another 10 days or so, but it’s healing on it’s own. I can totally work with that. Had to fit in my practice at lunch because the rest of the day was booked. Meditated and […]
Class at the Mothership
I have been missing yoga so much this week. Meditation is great, but its not an adequate replacement for my practice. The rain today gave me an unexpected afternoon off. Yogamama had a yin class tonight and it fit perfectly in every way. It fit my schedule, my need for a practice, and no standing […]
