Thursday, May 26, 2022, Time to begin... Part II: Good practice but it's time to enter the world.  Namaste

Wednesday, May 25, 2022,  On my mat a bit later than usual (it's 5:34am and, if I'm to stay on schedule, I usually start at 5:15am).  Nothing profound or provocative to say.  Time to begin... Part II: A great practice.  As always, on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.  Yoga connects one to God.  That is its primary gift to the practitioner.   Namaste

Tuesday, May 24, 2022, Yoga helps to create a direct connection to God and to the divine part of your humanity.  On the outside, one will always be an ugly, smelly, evolved-chimp (with an ugly, smelly, evolved-chimp brain, strutting around thinking one is superior and intelligent).  Have you ever seen a pompous child/preschooler?.....I believe that is how we may look as we applaud ourselves with our ugly, smelly, evolved-chimp hands.  Time to begin... Part II: Writing Part II, as always, on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.  No time to delay....time to enter the world.  Namaste

Friday, May 20, 2022, Nothing to write about.  On my mat at 5:22am, with little inspiration, ready to begin my practice.... Part II: I'm writing this Part II update, as always, on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.  As I often say, the day ahead is always better when it begins on one's mat.  However, "inspiration" and "motivation" to practice are, very often, not there........and that's ok.  You go through the motions anyway, and you stay conditioned.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste

Thursday, May 19, 2022,  I travel for work occasionally and, even when I'm gone, I bring my mat with me.  Hotel yoga is just as beneficial as yoga at home, in my normal space where I practice.  No matter what my "call time" is to be ready for the day when I'm on the road, I immediately start walking back how much time I need to fit in a practice.  I practiced each morning last week, in my hotel and it always ensures I'm ready for the day.  This week however, when I got back home, I needed to dedicate time to my yard, and garden, and I've spent the last 72 hours shoveling dirt, and planting when I have spare time.  All this has done a number on my back, and I'm eager to go through today's first practice back at home.  Time to begin... Part II: The day is always better when it begins with a practice.  There's definitely some kinks to work out in my back (and legs....which I didn't notice before).  C'est la vie.... Namaste

Wednesday, May 4, 2022,  Nothing too inspiring to say this morning; and that's ok. It's 5:32am as I type this (I'm about 15 minutes behind skedge), and it's time to begin... Part II: Full practice.  Feeling great.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste

Tuesday, May 3, 2022, It's 5:20am as I type this.  I feel like, for the past ~week or so, I haven't been posting much content, as I've been focusing on my practice.  This is, actually, how it should be so, in that vein, I'm going to begin now..... Part II: Great practice.  Super late.  Namaste
