When the life get on the way….
Brooklyn Yoga School February 17, 2015
So, my schedule got really crazy busy during last week. I wasn’t able to sit and meditate every single day. I was not happy about it but tried to stay very close to my practice. I do my meditation when Read More
When Life Interrupts
Brooklyn Yoga School February 16, 2015
It’s too late. I don’t have time this morning. I don’t need it today. I’m tired. I have quite a healthy selection of distractions at my disposal before I take the plunge to sit down and actually meditate. I’ve put Read More

In the gathering-in of things
Brooklyn Yoga School February 7, 2015
It’s been hit or miss this week. Mais ou menos, more or less. When I think about my practice, I often go straight for the book-learning. I’m so good at it. With my academic bent and inclination for structure—and my Read More
