Yoga and the “Non Zero Sum Game”

April 8, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

There are no winners in yoga. And that might just be the best thing about it. Yoga is not what they call a “zero sum game,” a phrase which in game and economic theory means a situation in which one participant’s win is equal to the other participant’s loss. In other words, it’s winner take…

Speaking of ways, by the way….

March 11, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

There is such thing as balance. There is such thing as insight. There is such thing as courage. There is such thing as kindness. There is such thing as beauty. There is such thing as goodness. There is such thing as wonder. There is such thing as a warrior for light. Love is not merely…

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…

Have fun out there, Turd Blossoms: Reverse Warrior

January 25, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 1 Comment

“I’m distracting you, you big turd blossom.” The phrase ‘turd blossom’ isn’t always associated with joy, fun, and profound relief. But in the case of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” it most certainly is. Starlord/Peter Quill/Hotty McHotpants says it near the end of the movie after he and the other guardians crash land in the Big…

“Aw, Brilliant!” : Welcome, 13th Doctor!

January 14, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

“Aw, brilliant!”: the words we’ve waited 55 years to hear. Well, ok, I’m not 55. I mean “we,” as in the Doctor Who fandom… well, not all of them. I mean “we” female Doctor Who fans – although honestly, even I didn’t know I was waiting to hear those words. I’d just sort of accepted…

Bow to the Absurd in Lizard Pose

January 12, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

When I was a kid, I loved to draw frogs. I doodled them on school papers, I put them in clothes, I designed houses for them. They looked something like this: My fascination might have come from the fact that I owned a frog as a pet for many years. Initially it had been purchased…

Om and the Force: Binding us all Together

December 31, 2017 by Fandom Yoga 1 Comment

Sorry, introverts of this galaxy and others far, far away. Even when we are alone, we aren’t alone. In the world of Star Wars, there is the Force. As Obi Wan said, “Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and…

“Having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting.”

December 22, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

“Having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical but often true.” – Spock (Amok Time, Star Trek TOS) We have so much. We want so much. Neither condition will change – it is the human way, after all, and perhaps even the Vulcan way too. Spock’s statement is…
