springs and wells: April 2007

http://springsandwells.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Friday, April 13, 2007. Nonviolent Communication as it relates to Art-Making. This week I went to a very interesting workshop with Marshall Rosenburg, the creator of " Nonviolent Communication. Nonviolent Communication is a method of mindful communication, aimed at reducing anger, guilt, blame, and judgment. It's quite interesting. Many thought-provoking points were made, but a few things caught my attention in relationship to art and art-making. It's so important to ...

springs and wells: March 2007

http://springsandwells.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Saturday, March 31, 2007. His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej of Thailand. My latest painting. I may tweak the background a tiny bit more, but it's basically complete. It's amazing how some of these youngsters just creep into my consciousness and the painting comes out so easily. Other times it can be quite an effort of endurance. This one just took a couple days. Such an enchanting expression in his eyes - quite hard to read. Posted by Amey at 11:32 PM. We all know t...

springs and wells: May 2006

http://springsandwells.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. I picked this name for my new blog from a recent insight that came to me. about the nature and balance of inspiration and discipline. During my yoga practice, I was reflecting on the way that on some days, and in certain postures, inspiration arises from the depths - and bursts forth into the light of day. Breaks through the crust on its own. By the way, is it even discipline at this point, if it has become so natural? Posted by Amey at 10:29 PM.

springs and wells: October 2006

http://springsandwells.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Sunday, October 15, 2006. I have been reflecting on the concept/word "reflection". I love that reflecting is both an action and a consequence of an action, all at once. I love that a reflection is an after-effect with a life of its own. I love that our actions "reflect upon" us. And yet, that we can also pause to reflect upon our actions. When we were travelling in Croatia and Bosnia last month, I noticed that I was drawn to reflections and secondary effects. An image...

Just Breathe: January 2008

http://yogamad.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Real post coming soon, I just need to order my thoughts a bit! You know I love the kitties, and mine does/supervises yoga with me every day (as you can see from her frequent appearance in asana photos). In fact, if I am tardy getting to my mat, she often comes to see what my lazy ass is still doing in bed. So when my godmother sent me these pics of her kitty cats, I couldn't resist posting them! Meet Pixie the kitten:. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 22, 2008. And liked ...

Just Breathe: It's a circle of love!

http://yogamad.blogspot.com/2008/07/its-circle-of-love.html

Wednesday, July 16, 2008. It's a circle of love! Remember the interview of BlissChick. Well, if you click here,. You can read the one she did of me: It makes me sound super-special, and now I love the BlissChick even more than I did before - it's a circle of love! I think there are grammatical errors in this post, bear with me, late-tired-incoherent. It was great to read about your experiences. Best of luck in your new home (and way to go for having the courage to move)! July 16, 2008 at 5:06 PM. I am a ...

Just Breathe: December 2007

http://yogamad.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 20, 2007. Since we are well into the holidays, and probably all the eating that goes with them, here is a guest post from my friend Anja Zander, who bakes like the proverbial domestic goddess! She is also a dedicated Ashtangi, maintaining a regular practice and even squeezing in a bit of teaching, despite regularly (always) working 14-hour days. She tells me the New Year will hold more balance on that front. Yet, I was a lousy baker! How to Be A Domestic Goddess. I liked the title....

Just Breathe: Review: Studio Cirq and Interview: Lindsay van Niekerk

http://yogamad.blogspot.com/2008/07/studio-review-studio-criq-and-interview.html

Sunday, July 27, 2008. Review: Studio Cirq and Interview: Lindsay van Niekerk. This post should have appeared much earlier in the week, but, dear readers, I have been busy! Is tucked away in a side street in the centre of Melbourne, owned and run by a gracious woman called Lindsay van Niekerk. Yes, she hails from South Africa originally! I have been attending the lunchtime Dynamic Yoga sessions, which are taught in the Sakshin Ghatasha style. And I love them! 2 How has yoga changed your life? The change ...
