Birthdays & All Things SF + + +










Wow, I just got back from such a great trip to SF.  Only my 2nd time there and I can't believe that city is real.  I was lucky to spend 5 days w my rockstar friend Holly Munoz (literally and figuratively) camping next to the ocean, soaking in mineral baths, yoga, dreaming, walking, & kicking it all off by celebrating my birthday with Linda Wu and Laura McCabe and Co.  An effing fantastic trip.  Makes me feel lucky to know such good people and to get to spend time w them in such a lovely place.  The puja in the top is from a Burmese restaurant they treated me to on my BDay and I would have to say has to be the puja of all pujas…a sight to behold and a nice find on that day.  Not to mention the food was incredible.  Green tea salad, who knew?  The ranunculus was a gift and totally made my day…I love ranunculus and how sweet to get a bouquet of flowers on your first day of vacation.  We then went camping and as you can tell by the pics it was fairyland beautiful.  The ocean was feet away.  The sweet little cabin is on the campground and overlooks the ocean.  I got to make a new friend with the introduction to Holly's friend Mimi.  I love meeting new people.  The 3 of us then headed north about 2 hours and soaked in mineral baths built in 1860.  This is all in the surrounding area of SF.  I was also lucky enough to visit Tiny Telephone which is the studio where Holly recorded her beautiful & soon to be released album "Maps & Lists" w John Vanderslice.  It's a beautiful space, humble & open & full of possibilities…it felt like Yoga Garden in that way.  A memorable trip for so many reasons.  And now I'm happy to be home @ YOGA Garden thinking about it all as I handstand & back bend & water & sweep.

^ ^ YOGA Trees ^ ^



Gorgeous space, gorgeous people & pretty poses.  Good company to keep as we move from the elemental earthy boundaries of a long damn winter into the watery, nurturing hands of SPRING.  You can almost smell the lilacs. . . .

* * The ART of ASANA * *



Sitting at my desk with high-lighter in hand and stapler near by happily organizing yoga poses into various lists.  I'm getting organized for The Art of Asana portion of LISTEN to GROW this weekend and could not be happier.  The first 2 weekends have gone swimmingly, diving in deep but moving through the material with relative ease.  If you care to jump in feel free, people who could not sign up for the entire workshop are showing interest in individual weekends.  $185/per workshop....you can get the skinny here:

>>>> More & More LIGHT Everyday




You can tell by the chit-chat, there's more & more light to practice in everyday.  It just makes everything easier and more fun, like hanging out in the studio with a good group of friends.  A lucky lady bird am I to have such a great group to soak it up with.
