Strong Arms Give Me a Hand(stand)!
Yoga was wonderful tonight. The class was small — only 5 students — which was a treat as we all got lots of adjustments and hands-on attention. When the request for anything special came up, one woman asked for inversions. I asked for side plank. We got both.
We did a lot of flow, ending in […]

Yoga Weds
Went to the 1 hour restorative, which was great. I got there early and did a bit of headstand, plough and shoulderstand before the class started. In this beginner/restorative we never do these poses, and my body wanted them. I know my body pretty well & know that I can do these without a lot of […]

Noxious Weeds - What Are They & What to Do About Them
Weeds come in many forms. They are defined in many ways. Though they may be “a plant whose virtue has yet to be discovered” (Emerson; see earlier post), they may also be dangerous to humans, livestock or the overall ecology of the area. Be

How Far Does Your Food Travel?
And what does your food really cost? I found a nice video online that shares some of the stats and points around why eating locally is a growing concern in our oil-dependent economy. You could read Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Delimma or his other books. Or, just watch this quick video slideshow to understand some of […]

It’s All in Your Nose
Okay, let’s face it, we all sweat. Some sweat more than others. Some find body odor more offensive than others. Some bodies smell worse than others. There I said it. Ice broken. But, why do I feel compelled to write about this? There’s anti-perspirant (keeps you from sweating) and there’s deodorant (covers the smell). You […]

Barely Counts
I got Shiloh out for a quick walk before the rain (dare I think snow?) returns. We returned movies to Blockbuster (and here I’ll say La Vie En Rose is a must-see! You’ll barely notice the subtitles; the music is as amazing as you’d expect in a film about Edith Piaf; her story is unbelievable). […]

Bow Up!
Great yoga practice. Went in feeling kind of yucky…a little neck tweak…a little sneezy…a little thinking I might be getting sick. Ended up having a great practice and feeling 100% when I left.
Had my best Upward Bow ever. Was able to really push up and really backbend. Arms straight & strong. Feet forward and knees […]

Gardening with Colors in the Snow
This winter I’m acutely aware of plants that are providing winter interest through berries, blooms, fragrance, colorful foliage and interesting texture. Many clients keep talking about how boring their gardens are when everything is “dead&#
