All Work & No Yoga…
…can make Robin a very grumpy girl…
Right now my business is booming, which is wonderful. The article in Sunset really made a huge difference. And, its no surprise to me that when people found out my services exist, they wanted to see me yesterday. YAY!

Working Out the Kinks
You know, sometimes I feel like my life is a series of injuries. Now that my hip/groin feels 100%, my neck & shoulder is all hinky. And, I have no idea what I did to make it get out of whack. I may have slept on it weird. I may have strained it turning to [...]

Talk About Inspiring!
This weekend I caught up with the father of one of my best friends. I knew he was a big bike rider, so I got him on the topic of his bike and riding. For years he was a recumbent rider. He still has a recumbent but has apparently switched to a more traditional form [...]

If Your Back isn’t Sweaty, You Aren’t Working Hard Enuf
Today one of my best yoga friends shared a story one of our teachers had shared with her. Apparently, while in teacher training in NY she had been told by her instructor to go around the room & touch the students’ backs. If they aren’t sweaty, the students aren’t working hard enough.

Flowing Like a Powerful River
Tonight’s Hatha II-III class was exceptional. I’m not sure why, but something about it was extraordinary for me. I worked up an enormous sweat…Aside: Okay, I almost named this post something about the river flowing down my spine, but figured that was kind of gross. Thinking of myself as a powerful river sounded better doing loads [...]

Restored!
Tonight’s restorative was perfect. Just a few standing poses (Warrior II & a standing twist), lots of deep hip/groin stretches, and a variety of supported backbends. I felt relaxed and a bit invigorated after class. If my stomach wasn’t audibly growling (and breaking my focus), I would have stayed for the Vinyasa class that follows. [...]

Shiloh and I enjoyed a late afternoon walk in the sunshine through the neighborhood. Bob and I have been trying to do walks together in the evening, but tonight he’s heading out with Jason to pick up the crusher. Yes, wine grape harvest season is about ready to kick off & we need to be [...]

Ctrl-P = My Stairmaster
I’ve been a bit sore this week as I get back into the swing of exercising regularly. Its not so funny how fast I get out of shape! Soreness has made me acutely aware of how many times I hike up & down the stairs in our house.
My office is spread throughout the house. These [...]
