Yogini’s Quest

My practice felt pretty good today.  I found myself getting irritated though towards the end.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the student-teacher relationship and I don’t get it.  I guess I don’t really feel like Tim is my teacher.  I am finding myself getting very irritated too, in that, people who just recently started practicing [...]

Guys you might not enjoy this, and neither may some of you easily offended ladies…check out this site.

Spoke with a long time practitioner of ashtanga this past weekend.  We discussed ashtanga (duh, no really?).  We ended up talking about how I kind off took 3 months off this past summer (I also failed to mention that I instead consumed a lot of wine and spent most of my time in a tumultuous relationship).  I told [...]

Those are not two words I would’ve accepted together back when I was a devout Christian. 
There’s an awesome article in the past issue of the Namarupa.  I had a hard time at first grasping the concepts of hinduism (not like I fully understand them all now) and the various deities of God.  It’s really hard to [...]

I feel like I’m living a very exciting life right now.  I can’t believe how I have filled my plate with so much.  I mean, just a month ago, I was bored senseless, almost depressed, lonely and so poor.  And now?!  My gosh, I have to pencil people into my schedule, which these days doesn’t [...]

Yesterday I went back to my normal routine…yoga, job 1 and job 2.  I was soooo exhausted when I got home though.  I’m guessing it’s the poor air quality.  It’s not that bad anymore.  Seriously, it’s not. 
I work in Del Mar, near one of the evacuation sites, it was awful here the past couple of [...]

What a long two days it’s been.  It must suck if you get stuck in a snowstorm, how boring!  I mean, there wasn’t much to do the past two days because I didn’t know if it was safe or if stores were open.  Anyway, update: coast seems to be clear.  All of us evacuated on [...]

Conditions haven’t improved, they’ve gotten worse.  I thought I’d be okay since I live near the coast, but it seems the fire in Rancho Santa Fe is putting us north coastal county locals at risk.  I’m not sure what exactly the true risk is, or where exactly and how large the fire is, but I [...]

Well, I’m not sure what I’m doing.  I’m sure Julie and other friends from the shala got evacuated.  I’m still supposively okay at the moment, of course, the air is thick in smoke and there’s ash everywhere.  This is like a scary movie, it feels unreal and my head hurts. 
Anyway, just wanted to give an [...]

After the last post, I think I kind of set myself up for what was bound to happen.  In my effort to protect myself, I ended up completely avoiding M altogether at work last night.  I acknowledged him once.  Anyway, long story short, it backfired and he essentially got upset because I was acting like [...]
