Down with “Self Care,” Up with “Time In”

January 2, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

The annual pendulum keeps swinging – gluttonous to ascetic, ascetic to gluttonous.

The crucial quiet of Matilda and yoga

January 13, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 1 Comment

The absence of sound has always scared me. It has always seemed to imply the absence of other things to do – of connection, of energy, of things happening and people talking and the world moving. It can seem like the Veil in Doctor Who’s episode “Heaven Sent,” lurking behind every action we take, every…
