I’ve been working on YoMo, or Yoga Practice Month, which will take place in January 2009. You can read about it on my yoga blog, or on the Yoga Center of Lawrence website.
I don’t know why these monthly challenges, like this, or NaNoWriMo, or NaBloPoMo, are so appealing to me. Perhaps it’s my life-long habit [...]

Throwing things away

Here are a couple of things I’m wondering about throwing away:
The “holiday gift pack” I received containing body splash and lotion, heavily perfumed. Scented stuff drives me nuts, but I hate to throw it away. I don’t know anyone I’d be willing to give it to. The bottles are not recyclable, by the way.
Linguistic note: [...]
Things I’m happy about

The light at sunset made it look like the field was glowing.
I started Practice Notes, a new blog about home yoga practice. It seemed to me that the 9 or 10 people who read this blog don’t really care. Also, it seems jargon-y in this context to use the names of the poses [...]
Eagle, eagle, owl

Today I was driving back from town and took the river road over the oxbow lake near our house. As I crossed the lake, I saw a bald eagle flying overhead. It registered in a sort of matter-of-fact way. “Oh, hmm, an eagle,” in the way you might notice a bluejay. [...]
Weedy yoga

I’m still headachy, but better. I did a very slow batch of seated poses this morning, ending with supta baddha konasana and savasana. Tomorrow I go walking in the early morning again, assuming I’m back to normal. I feel like a hurricane whipped through my head.
No yoga today

In The White Album, Joan Didion wrote an essay on migraines called “In Bed.” I don’t have a copy of the book any more, but I believe she mentions that if she had a gun in her purse while having a migraine, she’d use it on herself.
That was me today. It’s over, but [...]
Today’s yoga

I haven’t skipped any yoga days, but I’ve missed a couple of writing days. And I have to say that Saturday and Sunday were pretty lame for yoga. I wasn’t feeling well, so my practice was nothing much.
Today was my first day back to early-morning walking. I got up at 5, did [...]
WoYoPracMo day 1

I got off easy today. I went to the New Year’s Day class at the yoga center, so I didn’t have to make myself wake up early to practice. It was the first time I’d been to class in over two months because of my foot surgery. There were a couple of [...]
WoYoPracMo

I’ve signed up for World Yoga Practice Month, or WoYoPracMo, which is similar to National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo. You just commit to practicing yoga every day for the month of January. You don’t get in trouble for slacking off. It’s just a way of giving some structure and impetus to [...]
