Remember Me

For the benefit of all my fuzzy-memoried friends and students, I've taken the liberty of creating little pocket sized cards with my website address printed on them. Please feel free to collect one from me at class - or, alternatively, just yell at me from your moving car/bus/across the street and I'll be happy to hand one over! 


See below for the result of the first piece of arts and crafts that I have completed since primary school (it feels good to be cutting out shapes again!).

Tuesday Inspiration

Why Tuesday? The way I figure it, Tuesday is the day when we’re no longer bathing in the afterglow of last weekend but next weekend still feels too far away! “Tuesday Inspiration” is anything that helps to chase away the midweek blues...  


Today's Tuesday Inspiration comes from the mystical Sufi poet, Rumi.

Sexy storm in a teacup!

A few weeks ago, a friend sent me a video of Los Angeles yoga teacher Briohny Smyth demonstrating a powerful, composed sequence that included some incredible arm balances. I marvelled not only at Briohny's strong and healthy body but also at her lovely sense of serenity and quiet confidence. To my surprise, I discovered that the video had created quite a bit of controversy in the yoga community with accusations that the video "sexualises" yoga all over chat rooms and on blogs on the net.
