How Much is too Much?
In my seven years of practicing yoga, I’ve managed to injure myself numerous times. One injury to my wrist resulted in my wearing a cast for a month, and then a splint for another month. I’ve also had ongoing problems with my right knee, my neck, my upper back, my right hip, and, more recently, my lower back. … Continue reading »
New Year’s Resolutions
A response to my last post got me thinking about all the crowded yoga classes in January and February. It’s true that a lot of people flock to yoga studios at the beginning of the year because they are all amped up to get back into their yoga practice or maybe start yoga for the … Continue reading »
Self-Practice
Now that I no longer teach yoga, I spend far less time at the yoga studio and attend fewer classes. I still practice yoga about 4 times a week, but more and more of this is happening at home. As many people can attest to, developing a self-practice is incredibly difficult, sometimes seemingly impossible. (I … Continue reading »
Bloomington Power Yoga
I’ve decided to stop teaching yoga at Bloomington Power Yoga. My final class will actually be tomorrow, December 19th, and 4:00pm. Most of my students have probably already left town for the holidays, but if anyone is around, I’d love to see you in class. It’s supposed to be an Ashtanga class, but, most likely, … Continue reading »
Ashtanga Fundamentalism
For the past few months, I’ve been teaching an Ashtanga Primary Series class once a week at Bloomington Power Yoga. Overall, I’d say it’s gone well, although I’ve had to modify the sequence quite a bit to accommodate the experience levels of the students coming to my class. This has resulted in a slower paced … Continue reading »
Music or No Music?
Almost a year ago, I stopped playing music entirely in my yoga classes. When I practice on my own at home, I also no longer play music. This move to “silent” yoga has been a long time coming for me, but lately I’ve actually been thinking about eventually reintroducing music into my classes and my … Continue reading »

Zazen
We have a new addition to the Bloomington Power Yoga schedule: Zazen. Zazen practice is basically sitting meditation. We sit for 30 minutes. There is no chanting, music, or any other distractions during this type of meditation. The objective, if we can call it that, is simply to sit and observe one’s thoughts and one’s mind. … Continue reading »
