Wednesday, March 14, 2012. 15 Years of Gratitude. When I first began teaching, fifteen years ago, most of my students were strangers. My mother has attended class at least weekly since the beginning – and occasionally friends do as well – but for the most part the people who roll out their mats and pay me money to lead them through a series of stretches are simply “students.” They are there for the yoga, plain and simple. Where did you go on your latest vacation? 8221; I feel such gratitude. Kezia Bacon ...

Kezia's Yoga Blog: Life is Suffering? A Quick Glimpse at Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths
http://hellokezia.blogspot.com/2011/08/life-is-suffering-quick-glimpse-at.html
Friday, August 5, 2011. A Quick Glimpse at Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths. I’ve been quiet here on the yoga blog these past few months, because my life has been in turmoil. My husband and I are divorcing. We have a five-year-old son, so you can imagine what a complicated process this is – for all of us. Buddhism is based on Four Noble Truths. 1 Life is suffering. 2 There is a cause for this suffering. 3 It’s possible to end this suffering. 4 There is an established path out of this suffering. And the Buddh...

Kezia's Yoga Blog: September 2010
http://hellokezia.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Of all the ten principles of yoga, this concept is the hardest for me to explain. Being breathed? Following the breath, not the mind. Does that make sense? Remember, if you’re not breathing, you’re not doing yoga! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Relaxed Body, Mind and Breath. The second of the Ten Principles of Yoga is having a relaxed body, mind and breath. When we think of yoga, we tend to think of stretching, strengthening and ultimately relaxing the body. That’s what rest pose is all about, right? But what about the mind? Relaxing the mind means letting go of thinking and processing and what-if-ing and just “being.” Not just during rest pose, but throughout class. Wednesday, August 11, 2010. For the next 10 posts,...

What We're Eating This Week: June 2010
http://eatbaconbernstein.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
What We're Eating This Week. Who doesn't have difficulty trying to come up with interesting ideas for meals? I find I'm often asking friends to share recipes - or typing up favorites to pass along to them. On this blog, I will only post recipes that I've found to be worth my time to prepare - and worth the money spent for the ingredients. Saturday, June 26, 2010. Tofu Salad with Olives. Combine the following in a medium-sized bowl. 1/4 tsp garlic powder. 1 Tbsp diced onion. 1/4 tsp black pepper. In a wok...

Friday, June 25, 2010. Ishvara-pranidhana, or Surrender. Ishvara-pranidhana is about trusting the natural flow of things. Letting go of your need to control things, or your desire to force the outcome of a given situation. It’s about cultivating faith, dedication, sincerity and patience – and getting one’s ego out of the way. Thursday, June 17, 2010. Svadhyaya, or Self-Study. For most of us, understanding ourselves better is a natural consequence of a regular yoga practice. The principle of svadhyaya...

Wednesday, April 28, 2010. The Principle of Asteya, or Non-Stealing. Continuing our discussion of yogic philosophy, we move on to the third yama, Asteya, or non-stealing. Asteya has many aspects:. 8226; Honoring what belongs to others. 8226; Never desiring to possess by mind or speech, either outwardly or secretly, the wealth of another (this applies to money, possessions, ideas, space, time . . .). 8226; Not taking anything (neither valuable nor trifling) that belongs to another.
