Mama’s Best Advice.

by Jackie Summers on Jan 31, 2012

In the six decades she knew my father, Mom demonstrated over and over again that, no matter how much she loved him, her love for herself established the terms on which her relationship would be conducted.

D train, love and me.

by Tessa on Jan 29, 2012

I want to be loved. I have a heart, a pair of hands and a vagina. But zombies... zombies... they are everywhere and they are impenetrable.

Spin The Cube, Make A Wish.

by Jackie Summers on Dec 13, 2011

Magic: a belief lost to a modern age that made sense of things beyond explanation, an understanding that beneath the rational hid the sublime, waiting to be discovered by those whose eyes hadn't been encrusted by life's disappointments.

The Agency Review.

by Jackie Summers on Oct 31, 2011

Other agencies are willing to bend over backwards to prove they can represent our interests better than you. Please, present evidence that you are deserving of being awarded this account, again. Relationships should work with such ruthless efficiency.

Pick Strawberries.

by Jackie Summers on Oct 23, 2011

Life is short, and often painful. You can’t predict the future and you can’t change the past. But you can’t allow past pain or future uncertainty to prevent you from enjoying the present. Your life is now. When strawberries present themselves, pick them.

How’s A Grrrl Supposed to Start Teaching Yoga? ~Jennifer Vafakos

by elephantjournal.com on Oct 19, 2011

Well, that’s how my teacher training started. Though I had been practicing yoga for years and living in the NYC metro area, I had no delusions about leaving a career that I love and making a living off a “way of life” – as yoga has turned out to be for me. All I knew for certain was that I wanted to teach, share my practice and have more yoga in my life.

The Golden Ratio of Attraction.

by Jackie Summers on Oct 17, 2011

Charisma makes us swoon but might lead us to disaster. Character is steadfast and honorable but wooden, and dull. How do we resolve this? With Phi Φ.

The Exquisite Lover: Resonance.

by Jackie Summers on Sep 30, 2011

The flame of the brightest passion can dim, and eventually you will reach a ceiling on applicable technique. How does one transcend mastery into ascendance?

Too Hip to Heal.

by Peter Sklivas on Sep 26, 2011

Don’t know what good deeds I performed in past lives. But it must've been pretty damn good. Because living at Kripalu in the early 90’s was as good as dying & going to yoga heaven.

The Exquisite Lover: Technique.

by Jackie Summers on Sep 26, 2011

Passion is insufficient. There is no amount of passion that can absolve the sin of clumsy ineptitude. Technique is the mechanism by which passion finds expression. Without technical mastery there can be no artistry, as expertise transforms desire into ability.

Immigrant Thoughts. ~ Tania Kazi

by elephantjournal.com on Sep 10, 2011

And yet this breeze took me to a place where everything seemed deeply familiar and paradoxically – completely foreign. I remembered this sweet, cool breeze, and the gold of the sun from another world, another continent, perhaps an early January in Karachi.

Yasso on Running, Community and Inclusion

Yasso said he often got asked what two words best described running for him. He said you'd think they might be interval training or negative splits. Nope. Yasso loves running because of community and inclusion...
