Anna, Anne & Annie: Spunky, Red-Headed, Orphaned Grace

July 9, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 2 Comments

What is up with all the Anne’s? Spunky, red-headed, saved orphaned girls named Anne/ie/a seem uniquely suited to capture our hearts. Anne of Green Gables, little orphan Annie, and lately Anna of Frozen, have a seemingly endless power to make us love them (and pay to watch them and read them). Can we analyze this?…

A Hero’s Journey Mega-Flow!

June 1, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Our favorite heroes’ stories follow a common pattern – as do our lives, really! Joseph Conrad defined 12 steps in this pattern as the Hero’s Journey, outlining how every hero starts out in a dull, not-quite-right beginning, gradually gains allies and enemies and goes through ordeals, and finally emerges changed at the end. It rings…

“Honey I’ve Shifted My Perspective!” through Camera Tricks and Yoga (Plough Pose)

May 24, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Seeing grasses as forest and ants as loveable steeds comes naturally to my generation. That is, it’s natural to those of us who grew up loving “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids!” the 1989 Disney movie in which two teens and their little siblings get shrunk to the size of bugs. It’s Rick Moranis being adorable…

The Neverending Story Sandwich: Interfacing with the World (in Half Monkey Pose)

May 11, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 2 Comments

The most delicious-looking sandwich I’ve ever seen on TV wasn’t in an ad for a restaurant – and in fact, it was no more than a PB&J on white. It is the sandwich eaten by Bastian in “The Neverending Story,” the 1984 fantasy movie beloved by us 80s kids. Harassed by bullies and his buzzkill…

Power of Voodoo, Who do? You Do: Half Lord of the Fishes

March 15, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle, beyond the goblin city… These words still gives me chills, and a latent feeling I should really remember them in case I need to face off with David Bowie. I can certainly see why they are loved by Sarah, the…

Getting way existential when you’re totally buggin’

February 12, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

“I was just totally clueless.” Such is the climactic quote of the movie gem Clueless. Such is also the climactic revelation I just keep having in my life. Sharing with Cher (ha) that realization made me love her even more than I would have anyway for her snappy wit and (it can’t be argued) awesome…
