One of the things that I try to remind my students (and myself at times!) is that you can practice yoga anywhere (even if you only have 5 free minutes) -- in the check-out line of the supermarket, on a train, in a plane, in the car -- even on the couch. Yes, that's right -- the couch. Look at it as ...

In some ways, these two spiritual paths compliment each other. In other ways, they conflict. I have been studying and practicing Judaism for 20 years. I have been practicing Kundalini Yoga for two months. Here are the most significant differences as I understand these two paths: * Judaism is obsesse...

A couple of weeks ago at yoga, I told the teacher how much I hated the class, how much rage and resistance I had to the exercises, and I said she was cruel. A brunette in the class agreed with me. She’d found it difficult too. She also found herself filled with rage. We ended up raging for an ...

As I browse through the latest Omega catalog and marvel at the number of workshops offering to heal this, Zen that, and help you attain enlightenment with this modality, that teaching, and this method, I am heartened to see that good free (and fun) yoga stuff still exists. I just recently simplified...

I'm regretting not getting up earlier this morning and doing my yoga first thing, because I've had a very long, very busy day, and I still have to squeeze in a short practice! I'm planning on 20 minutes of "Stress Relief Yoga for Beginners" right before bed -- I guess I can't think of a nicer way to...

Breakfast: I woke up earlier than usual this morning, so I decided to have breakfast at home, instead of with the kidlets. Apple cinnamon ...

57 pounds lost, one day at a time   Two years ago, Janella Watson of Evanston saw a photo of herself that changed her life. At least she thought she was in the picture.   Her weight had reached 242 pounds;   she hardly recognized the woman she once knew. “I’d always...

I need a yoga studio or private instructor in Atlanta or preferably northwards. I live far, far north of Atlanta in the wild country a little south of Dahlonega. This makes getting down to some of the yoga studios that one would find on, say, Citysearch a little difficult. While i'm not 100% opposed...

Tina over at Carrots 'N' Cake has challenged herself to do at least 20 minutes of structured yoga per day for the entire month of March, and I am going to join her! (And several other folks, too!) Any other takers? Head over to Tina's blog and leave her a comment. I need to get my butt moving, stret...

I’m in yoga. I went to be flexible for my Torah class later in the evening, flexible enough to see alternative readings of the sacred text, alternative interpretations, alternative ways out of religious obligation. We’re asked to move our mats to the side of the room and, God forbid!, da...
