Who are You Free (Three): Itching into Inspiration (Star Pose)

February 25, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

If you’re feeling itchy, you might just want to consult your closest lobster. It turns out we may have a lot to learn from our crustacean friends, beyond how good they are with butter. In a viral video from 2009, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski posits a rather compelling analogy between people and lobsters when handling…

Faith in the Secret Garden: Chair Pose

January 25, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Being mere mortals, we are limited. The Doctor can choose to move back and forth in time in her TARDIS. Superman can see a vistas of land below him. Billy Pilgrim is unstuck in time. We, however, can only see what’s in front of our faces right now. And we so often don’t like what…

Why do yoga? To travel to the Wood between the Worlds

January 21, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Loving the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a fairly universal phenomeon, I think. Solid quaint British writing + fanciful characters + a solid allegory = a winner, unless you are one of the non-religious people who didn’t realize the direct religious tie-in’s and then felt a bit duped. In any case, anyone who…

We are Wonder Women: Goddess Pose

January 19, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Yoga is a fairly recent development in my life, but I’ve been striking a pose since at least middle school. Not Downward Facing dog or Triangle pose – no, my girlfriends and I would strike a pose, Vogue style. At sleepovers, we would blast Madonna’s song, frame our face with our hands, and let our…

Anne’s revolutionary rapture: Warrior III

January 12, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Picture “Anne of Green Gables” – you’ll find yourself with images of long red breads, quaint frocks, and pastoral nature scenes. You’re not wrong. But Anne is also subversive AF. (as in, “as far [as possible]” Ahem.) Sure, she goes to Sunday School, learns a moral a chapter, and oozes family values. But those who…

An Ode to a Big, Old Rock

January 10, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Every one of my favorite yoga studios has a different view outside their windows. My downtown studio shows passersby going about their lives – which is neat in a way, since you realize how you have hit your own personal pause button. But it’s hard to beat the view outside another of my favorites, Main…

Losing and finding your mind: Van Gogh’s piles of things good, bad, and wondrous

January 5, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 2 Comments

Barring being actually in the Matrix, what you see and touch is real, right? You know where you are? What you think is dependable? And what you feel is appropriate? Usually we’d say yes, pretty much. We can take those things for granted, and go with purpose to our work, our play, our practice on…

The Four Hogwarts Houses of Yogis

December 26, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Which one are you? When you are really into your yoga, do you….? Have a need to read? Do you want to take notes in class? Research your anatomy to see what’s really moving around in your body, from the nerve signals to the muscles and ligaments? Buy the best rated books on yoga to…

Do androids malfunction after electric stress?

December 9, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Stress saturates our lives: its omnipresent messy little tendrils so much a part of our life that we can hardly remember a time without it. It’s a bit of a bragging point these days, actually, we sigh but we believe it’s the price paid for a life lived to the fullest. And, we note with…
