As I’ve written before, Shelby usually starts yoga class asking how you want to feel. Often, I think “calm” or “peace” or “wrung out” or “strong” but recently, a new one popped up: free to feel. When we adopted Bob, one of my favorite ways the terrible handlers described him is “he has big feelings.”…

I Don’t Want to Be Who I’ve Made Myself | Thursday (Yoga) Therapy
Shelby often starts yoga class asking us to name one thing we’re grateful for and then how we want to feel. A couple weeks ago, tears sprang to my eyes as my soul answered the latter with “not like me”. I don’t want to feel like me. Taken aback but unsurprised—I had walked in salty,…

Home | Feel Good Friday 121820
When I moved away from Austin, it was noticeable when the airport that felt like home changed: first to Aspen, then to John Wayne. And even when I moved back, it took a bit for ABIA to feel like home. But now it does, again. Still, grateful for my amazing trip to OC to celebrate…
Scoria’s Cork Yoga Mat is Awesome
Apparently, whenever someone compliments me on how “good” I am at yoga, I always respond, “I do a lot of yoga.” Which is true, and why I needed to upgrade my mat. My almost-three-year-old extra-long Jade had been good to me, but it was shedding blue peelies on me and not as non-slip as it…
(Yoga) Therapy Thursday: I Still Don’t Really Get It
Imma be honest, I wanted to draw this one but I can’t fully grasp its translation to my life, specifically. Maybe one of y’all can, though? Also this isn’t even fire logs pose. And fire logs’ only jobs are to burn. I DON’T GET IT AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I PUBLISHED THIS. Help.
Research List: Performance Yoga Joggers
It’s Texas, and it’s hot. But sometimes you don’t want shorts, and it’s too blazing hot for leggings. Enter, the grail I’ve been looking for: yoga joggers. Joggers that have sweat-wicking, breezy properties, rather than being made of cotton or terry or fleece… they’re kinda hard to find tho. Shop it here (not affiliate links)…
ALLLLL the yoga teachers! (UPDATED)
This feels like an embarrassment of riches. There is literally not enough time in the day to do all the yoga with all the teachers I have loved and lost when I moved away. The quarantine’s silver lining is that they’re back and zoom classes are the only option so I get to experience the…
