Conscious Warrior Yoga: April 2009
http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. Inevitably when I mention to people that I'm a yoga teacher, someone will say, "Oh, I can't do yoga, I can't even touch my toes! With the understanding that not all poses are appropriate for all people, the way I try to approach my practice and my teaching, particularly when I'm working on poses that are new or challenging, is that I break them down from a mechanical perspective. Am I grounding myself in my feet or my hands? Where is my gaze? How am I using my breath?

http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009/07/its-end-of-big-holiday-weekend-late.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2009. It's the end of the big holiday weekend: the late-evening firecrackers and bottle rockets have nearly disappeared from our neighborhood, we have a refrigerator full of left-overs from the annual family cookout, and thoughts of independence and freedom are still running through our minds. When I was adjusted (why are they always criticizing me? When I was asked to quiet my mind (Oh great, now I can't NOT think! When I was told to do all of this without judgement (Huh? Between the ...

Conscious Warrior Yoga: Pratyahara in Class
http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009/10/pratyahara-in-class.html
Wednesday, October 14, 2009. I admit, I was hooked! Now, even when I'm travelling from class to class, I can stay connected, though not while I'm actually driving. (Note to any of my friends who text or surf the internet while driving: STOP! Whatever it is, it can wait! I am a convert. I have seen the other side of the mountain, and it is wondrous. I quietly asked. "No, just making plans," she replied, as if this were the most normal thing in the world. And to her, it was. I don't want to be unreasonable...

Conscious Warrior Yoga: 9/11/ Rememberance
http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009/09/911-rememberance.html
Friday, September 11, 2009. Following is an excerpt from a letter I wrote to my son shortly after the terrible events of 9/11/01. My yoga practice certainly helped me maintain my sanity during that time. The next few days got progressively easier, though one image remains burned in my memory. I was again walking around Union Square Park with a friend, and we saw some mothers pushing their children on the swing set – with surgical masks covering their faces.

Conscious Warrior Yoga: February 2009
http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2009. We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. What do you see when you look in the mirror? Is the reflection a strong, confident person, or someone who needs to lose 10 pounds? Is the face looking back at you a husband or wife, father or mother, boss or employee, son or daugther, student or drop-out? Does the person looking back at you change during the day? Is it a different face in the morning than it is in the evening? Do the partners take time to really relate to ...

http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-try-to-spend-little-time-every-week.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. I try to spend a little time every week reading through some of the books I have on yoga, or reading Yoga Journal, or even reading through material that may not be directly related to yoga, but is still inspirational. I thought this month I'd share a few of my favorite quotes and/or books. Yoga is not about self-improvement, it's about self-acceptance.". Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, The Eight Human Talents. Do we give up in frustration? Yoga Body, Buddha Mind. 8220;Waking up to every ...

Conscious Warrior Yoga: January 2009
http://consciouswarrioryoga.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Frank's workshop day 1. OK, I'm amazed that I'm even able to type.my shoulders are so sore from all the inversions today! I'm loving the Louisville Yoga community! They're very friendly and welcoming, and the Yoga East studio we're at is spacious and lovely. I didn't realize that so many of the teachers here are OM yoga trained. Friday, January 16, 2009.
