Finding me in the mess: The Sandman and I just want our stuff back.

September 5, 2022 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Am I myself without my stuff? Surely, the answer is yes, right? We reside somewhere in our minds in our brains in our bodies, and the outside world is just something with interact with to achieve our goals. However, I’m not so sure that is true, at least for me and the Sandman. I just…

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…

Who are You Live (Five): Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Person

March 12, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

What percentage of you is pigeon? It’s got to be in there. After all, even after you know what makes you you, and how that can change, and how that change happens, even after you have tamed your most basic dragon instincts – we are pretty much all still part pigeon. By pigeon, I specifically…

Who are You Roar (Four): How to Train Your Dragon: Where the Wild Thing (Pose) Is

February 28, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Pardon me while I roar my terrible roar and gnash my terrible teeth and roll my terrible eyes and show my terrible claws. Ahem. Thanks. Of course you too may have been indulging in some wild behavior, particularly if you’ve read and loved Maurice Sendak’s amazing “Where the Wild Things Are” (and who hasn’t?). In…

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…

Who are You Too (Two)? : You & Your Regenerations (Quarter Camel Pose)

February 23, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 1 Comment

New teeth, new kidneys, and soon to be whole new gender! When it comes to a little reinvention, the Doctor is the expert. When the Doctor changes from body to body, the regenerations are pretty remarkable affairs. Shoots of yellow energy spark from the fingers and the Doctor collapses with a great shout. As we…

Who are you? : Finding yourself through Fandom (Mountain Pose)

February 9, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 4 Comments

Are you an ugly bag of mostly water – or are you a luminous being (not this crude matter)? Do you believe a sentient crystal in Star Trek (the former) or a wizened Jedi master in Star Wars (the latter?) Another way to think about it: do you have a destiny – or as Marty…

Which Orphan Black Clone are you in Yoga?

January 15, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

We all have many different versions of ourselves – but in Sarah Manning’s case, those versions have totally separate bodies and lives. She is the main character in Orphan Black, a British sci-fi show which earned well-deserved praise over its five season run. It’s pro-science and pro-female in all the best ways. Sarah is cool…
