Yogini’s Quest

What is the difference?  The word “isolate” sounds so negative and exclusive and “separate” sounds more like the ability to find balance.  I still can’t fit either one properly in my life.
I read a post yesterday that triggered me thinking about this, not that I’m never not the vata mindless chatterbox.  By the way, I [...]

My ego is making it really hard to let go.

I find myself lacking in compassion towards people who won’t own up to their situation.  Initially, I’m cool with people and feeling a sense of sympathy & empathy.  It can get a little exhausting after hearing about someone complain about their situation for extended periods of time.  I should rephrase that, it gets exhausting hearing [...]

I overslept this morning.  I don’t think I’ve done that in a really long time, but apparently, it was greatly needed.  Practice yesterday kind of sucked, but whatever, it was stormy here and the rain always makes me feel so dense and stiff.
I was talking with my girlfriend the other day about how I sometimes [...]

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess. — Louis Nizer (1902-1994)

I feel puffy today.
Do guys ever feel that way?  Somedays you feel great about yourself and then others you feel like an ugly slob.
Anyway, it’s raining today and I definitely felt the increase in humidity on my body.  Everything felt heavy today (maybe it’s just b/c it’s Friday).  I decided today was a great day [...]

Why don’t we call ashtanga, bandha yoga?  I’m coming to believe that it really is the source of a lot of this practice.  I don’t know, I really have nothing [...]

I can’t believe I used to enjoy doing this all the time.  I drank a full two glasses of wine last night and was wasted.
Ugh.
I feel like crap today.
So I’m going to try and eat super healthy today (well, minus the muffin that I’m eating right now).  It’s a moonday today!!!
Okay so yes, I did [...]

I couldn’t float into bhujapindasana or kurmasana today, I don’t remember how I did it last week.
So I was all agitated this morning…I terminated things with that guy last night.  I think what got me the most was his really bad jokes.  Like the type of bad jokes where he was trying too hard.  For [...]

I’m so sad I missed all the blogging get togethers and mysore practices with the blogging community last week.
So this is a long post, but it’s been a long week and I haven’t had a chance to write at all – so time to catch up!
Went to led second today and felt the [...]
