Don’t let Amy Poehler become a Horcrux: Buddhism and the Self

March 10, 2020 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Is meditating like taking the red pill in “The Matrix”? Yes, in fact it is, at least according to author Robert Wright in “Why Buddhism is True” – a book whose simplistic title does not do justice to its geeky and frankly mind-blowing innards. Wright holds that the clarity of meditation/mental work is so earth-shattering…

An Ode that’s Enough.

April 25, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Enough! Enough fun. Enough sleep. Enough work. Never enough. Enough enough’s. Took you long enough. Enough is as good as a feast.       Strong enough. Brave enough. Happy enough. Good enough. Not good enough. Sorry is not enough. Knowledge is not enough. I can’t get enough. I am enough. You are enough.  …

Practice a cat’s poise in Cat Pose

March 21, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Cats are uniquely intriguing creatures. Dignified yet unabashedly comfortable, curious but tentative. Their delightful poise seems almost alien in its appeal, which is perhaps why there are some truly fabulous cats in fandom. In Cat pose, we can embody those traits. Arch your back way up and look down to the ground, a lovely flat…

Best Frogs of Fandom (and You)

March 5, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Frogs. There is just something about their pop-eyed expression, their vibrant color, their skin that is sleek shiny smooth – or bumpy. Their adorably compact body that splays out into floppy legs. The implication of whimsy and humor mixed with vulnerability and the alien. They’ve been my favorite animal for a long time for those…

Introspecting your way from Obscurus to Patronus

December 30, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

If you look closely behind me, you might see my Obscurus. In its most developed, most destructive form, an Obscurus looks wispy, nebulous, and black. You might find it scarring people and wreaking havoc in cities. Mine isn’t usually so obvious to others, but to me it is no less powerful. The Obscurus is most…

Fandom Scenes for Meditation

September 4, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

It’s a crazy stressful reality out there – we need every tool at our disposal to deal with it, including yoga as well as breathing and meditation. Sometimes that includes going mentally to a sort of “happy place,” or maybe better put, a mental environment where we feel safe and calm. For those of us…

The Bad Ass Moms of Fandom

July 13, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Why is it the word “motherhood” conjures up milquetoast, flowery, frilly images? It’s bonnets and aprons and saccharine adages. In reality, I find motherhood to be exactly the opposite. Sure, there’s joy and love, but in such terrifying concentrations that you can hardly conceive of them – they are awe-inspiring and fearful in their intensity….

Wizards, mutants, and witches agree: All you need is love

June 11, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

The answer is: Love!! Such a climax is bound to result in more than a few eyerolls. After all, we’ve seen it so many times. In Frozen, Elsa can control her powers through love! In Beauty and the Beast, Belle restores the Beast’s health and humanity through love! Even outside the cheesiness of Disney, in…
