The Business of Yoga (part 3)

April 12, 2013 By Melody

Part of the fun of being a small business owner is every single day is different.  And as much as I am in control of my own schedule, sometimes I'm just not.  Running a business forces you to learn how to literally "go with the flow."  For instance, this morning I had a private yoga client cancel which opened up time for me to blog.  After this, I'll head into Washington, DC (in the pouring rain) and teach a corporate yoga class.  I love what I do.  I also love that on Fridays my day is done by … [Read more...]

Have Mat, Will Travel

February 9, 2011 By Melody

Over the last few years I've shared info on my fav yoga mat by Manduka.  See Spoiled by Manduka and Can You Recommend a Yoga Mat? The words I wrote back then still hold true today.  Even so much that when I went to Vail, CO last week (to do more spa-ing than skiing), I had my trusty (very thin) prana mat in tow.  For me, it's a multipurpose mat.  Of course, I use it to practice yoga & meditate when on the road but I have another key use for it. Have you ever noticed that the seat backs on … [Read more...]

MOM = Meaning of Mom

December 5, 2010 By Melody

Google results for the definition of  "Mom" are as follows: My Organic Market (the local organic grocery near my house) Short for Mother, Momma or Mommy Abbreviation for Middle of Month A woman who has given birth to a child Though I am not a Mom, I can tell you definition #4 doesn't do Moms justice.  Great (even just so-so) Moms do more than simply give birth.  Not only do they raise their children -- providing food & shelter, teaching values, doting and/or providing comfort when … [Read more...]

Fear is Funny

April 9, 2010 By Melody

Fear is a funny thing.  Just when I think I've gotten beyond a fear, another one shows up.  And sometimes I think I'm the only one who had a particular fear.  For instance, sometimes I am fearful of standing up in front of large group, particularly an "unknown" group. So it was refreshing to read a recent blog posting by Peggy Mulqueen, one of my favorite yoga teachers in the Washington D.C. area.  The post titled "do one thing a day that scares you" was somewhat surprising to read as well … [Read more...]

Spirit

February 11, 2010 By Melody

My dear friend, Federica, is starting to truly live her passion.  She currently is working a gig as a photographer's assistant in New Orleans.  Please note, I say starting to live her dream because she's only 26-ish and she's already on a path of doing something she clearly loves and aspires to be the best of the best. As an aspiring photojournalist, she has been in NOLA for the last couple weeks in preparation for Mardi Gras.  Never had been down there before, I know this crazy Italian yogini … [Read more...]

My New Year’s Resolution

January 1, 2010 By Melody

I always set business and personal goals for each year but I can't recall every really setting a "core" resolution that I felt whole-hearted about.  Thanks to my good friend Michelle, who moved from Del Ray Alexandria, VA to Santa Cruz, CA nine months ago, I have a New Year's Resolution that my life will revolve around for the next 210 days. Here's how it went down and how I came to select a 2010 resolution:  On Christmas Eve, Michelle called to say "I'm going to surf 200 continuous days in … [Read more...]
