After a long hiatus, I’m trying to get back into rock climbing. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with it and can start posting climbing-oriented yoga sequences on this blog again. (more…)
Despite my intention to practice yoga a few times while traveling through Ireland and the UK, that never happened. I went three weeks without doing any yoga–the longest stretch I’ve gone without yoga in years–and my body feels all out of whack. It makes me wonder what my body would feel like if I never did yoga!

I’m leaving tomorrow for Ireland, and won’t be posting on the blog for the next three weeks or so. I’ll be back in the US, and online, in mid June.

I’m going to be doing a little traveling this summer to Ireland and England. I’ll be in Dublin and London mostly, but will also visit some smaller cities. If anyone has studio recommendations (or any other recommendations, for that matter), I’d really appreciate it.

As a teacher, I want my students to be comfortable and happy in class. But even if I turn on the heat or the A/C to please certain students, others immediately become upset that it’s too hot or too cold.

When I lived in Los Angeles, I used to see ads and signs for “Doga”, but I never knew what it was exactly. Yoga for dogs? Yoga with dogs? I couldn’t even figure out how to pronounce it. Dough-Gah? Dawg-Uh?
This recent piece in the NY Times explains the Doga phenomenon. Since I’m not a dog owner, I’m having a bit (a lot, actually) of trouble understanding what this craze is all about. Maybe you just have to be a true dog lover to get it.
