Flexibility off the mat

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 31, 2008

It’s hard.
Last night I decided to go out, nothing crazy, but I was open to (yes) going to a bar.  We went to a bar and visited my friend who manages the place so we were comfortable and had familiar faces.  It was pretty dead though, being a Wednesday night and all.
I had an enjoyable [...]

So I have no genius title for today’s post. 
I did a shoot a couple of months ago with a few other people from the yoga shala for some small start-up eco company.  The company does wall art, etc.  Anyway, I just saw the website and the images are up – it looks really cool, but it’s a [...]

Tough Stuff

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 29, 2008

I just had a talk with my boss for 90 min.  My boss and I seriously talked about my position here at the company and my potential, the things to work on…there’s a lot of things that have to come into play to get there.
That was really hard…I cried a lot.
I think about all the [...]

Dogma of Yoga

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 28, 2008

I don’t really think I’m stuck in a black/white view of yoga, but I probably am, so are probably all the people I practice with at the shala.  For example, for a long time, I only really associated bramacharya with sex, or control and not having sex.  I really wish people would explain it for [...]

Fearless and sooo glad to be back

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 26, 2008

Ahhhhhhhhh that was the LONGEST week of my life.   I’ve already vented to about four people and I’m going to resist every urge to do it again here.  Did you miss me?
I bet not nearly as much as I missed you.
Hawaii for five days sounds great, exciting, romantic and enjoyable – before you even get [...]

Weighted

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 21, 2008

How typical is that…I seriously was fighting washing my car for the past five days b/c I’m going out of town today, but I couldn’t resist.  Last night I broke down and went through a car wash and I just woke up to it raining outside. Ha. 
Yesterday was my last official practice with A & J for [...]

My turn finally came

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 18, 2008

I often wondered when people had emotional outbursts in class and I never understood it.  I mean, sure there are times when I feel sad and a few tears fall, but that’s about it.
Growing up, I always told myself “man up” emotionally.  Especially, in the past, when I was struggling with my eating disorder, I [...]

You shine on me

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 17, 2008

I have been thinking, oh for the last day or so, if I’m really difficult to deal with.  Perhaps, in this sense, I’m just referring to the dating game.
Why do I always bring dating up on my blog?  I get together with my girlfriends and we talk about yoga (if they practice) and men.  Are [...]

Moon is moving

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 15, 2008

There’s a girl at the shala, I see her during most led classes.  She’s completely drawn to me for some reason and I find it rather annoying.  I just happened to practice next to her a few months ago during led second on sunday (the class we both don’t belong in).  We were in the [...]

Karma or carelessness

Posted by: tiffany83 on: January 14, 2008

I sliced my finger on a knife this past weekend, when I was washing the dishes.
I pondered over it for a while…was that karma or me just being careless?
The worst Taurean trait is possessiveness.  For the longest time, I’ve tried grasping the right term for how I feel about things.  My fear of not being [...]
