Farewell Patagonia.

by Nicole Melancon on Feb 9, 2012

We woke up Saturday morning to perhaps one of the most perfect days in Patagonia. The birds were singing in full glory to welcome the rising sun above the serene Patagonian landscape. The sky was as blue as the sea and clear except for a few lazy powder puff clouds lingering off in the distance.

At The Faults Of Enlightenment

by HawaH on Feb 7, 2012

Enlightenment is not searching for perfection… it is finding perfection in the most unusual and disorderly things. Enlightenment is not wishing you had something that you didn’t, but even with nothing always having all that you need.

What the Hell Do I Know?

Videogameasana – 10 Secrets to Make Learning Fun for Our Kids!

by Jamie Ginsberg on Jan 26, 2012

When we practice yoga, we acknowledge the growth and change that comes from our commitment to breath, body and soul - this growth comes from consistently practicing over an extended period of time. More kids have learned the value of practice from playing Syper Mario Brothers than we care to acknowledge, but it isn't easy to beat level one without practicing (when you will have to jump on mushrooms in life I am not sure).

Some Like It Hot. ~ Gaby Tezier

by elephantjournal.com on Jan 19, 2012

We sit again for some pranayama (breathing techniques) and then some floor poses, always with hand clapping and rubbing at intervals to keep some feeling in our fingers numbed by the cold.

7 Reasons you should get Stabbed in 2012.

by Kristin Althea on Jan 18, 2012

Maybe you came in for back pain, or carpal tunnel or a broken leg that won’t heal. Acupuncture has an amazing way of getting the body back to balance so that in addition to helping with your complaints, you suddenly find yourself with the best sleep you’ve had in 20 years, or reacting more calmly to the stuff life throws at you, etc.

The calm after the storm: Day 4 Hike in Torres del Paine National Park

by Nicole Melancon on Jan 17, 2012

As we hiked away from the refugio, we could see the imposing Los Cuernos (“the horns”) in the background. Cristian told us that the refugio at Los Cuernos was his favorite one in the entire park and we could finally understand why. On a cloudless day, the jagged peaks of Los Cuernos soared majestically in the sky, reaching upwards behind the refugio. The view was quite stunning and serene.

A Bali Update.

by Chloe Park on Jan 12, 2012

Bali has this way of sending you through, very intensely, the karmic blender. If you want to hide, well, don't come to Bali. Your soul better be ready, because it is a wild wild ride. The beauty about being in places like this while doing this sort of work is that the environment actually supports for this type of personal work.

Yoga at San Quentin: I could have been with monks in the Himalayas, surrounded by majestic mountain peaks.

During the finishing postures, a peaceful quiet settled over everyone, and we were spared the din of alarms, gunshots (from the shooting range in the nearby hills where CO’s and other officers hold their firing practice), and the testosterone-spiked clamor from the adjoining yard.

A wet, cold day hiking in the icy Patagonian rain

by Nicole Melancon on Jan 11, 2012

Then Cristian said more urgently, “Is coming the rain, big rain” and we leaped at high-speed under a large bush for cover. According to Cristian, no matter what kind of advanced rain gear you have, you would be completely soaked within five minutes thus it was best to take cover and wait it out. I had never seen such an intense combination of wind and rain before in my life. It was completely, utterly wild.

Guruji, Get your hand off my vagina: The modern yoga teacher-student relationship.

by JulieJCPeters on Jan 6, 2012

Classically, yoga was transmitted carefully, privately, from a master to a student, one to one. A little like an STD. In modern Western society, yoga is transmitted from one teacher to huge groups of students at a time, usually through drop in classes. Much like an STD.
