The Amazing Body – Part II
Last Wednesday I did make it to a moderate dance class which helped me find my heart. By Thursday, I felt like the pirate with a wooden leg as I hurled my body up the avenue. On Friday, I went to yoga class where I modified everything and was pleased at my ability to understand [...]
The Amazing Human Body – Part I
The physical body and the energy body - both ultimately living in union or "couplehood" as my teacher Christine Schenk calls it. But a minor procedure can certainly send one (or both!) into an incredible spin. I had a varicose vein procedure on Monday. I attribute the vein partly to the heredity of my still moving 90 [...]
The Season of Light
I love this time of year in New York. The holiday lights are so incredible. Add a few snowflakes and I can't help but smile. Yet the days are colder and shorter - a natural time of year to "turn inward." Hibernate in a sense, much like the animal world. But what does that mean? [...]

Stay connected to yourself through breath and take a few moments to slow things down if it feels [...]
Breathe…it’s that simple and that challenging!

Find my feet. Feel the earth. That's about all my body can handle in this moment. And that is the workout! Good luck! [...]
Go with the Season!
Ugh...it's 40 something degrees this morning and my body is so unhappy. The change in time over the past weekend seems to have also thrown me a bit. Now what? Go with the season! I have been waiting awhile for the weather to change in order to accomplish my "inside projects." It's a wonderful time [...]
