Malas for Haiti

October 22, 2011 By Melody

The beauty of Fall is finally arriving here in Washington, DC.  Though I prefer sunny days and outdoor yoga over cold temps and snow, the reality is the chill and thrill of the holidays will be here before we know it.  Heck, the December date & hosts for my Arlington, VA neighborhood holiday progressive dinner party (that's a mouthful!) has been set for weeks already.  So really, the "season of giving" will be here shortly. With that in mind, I've decided I'm scaling back on holiday gifts … [Read more...]

What’s Your Favorite Pose?

April 4, 2011 By Melody

As some of you already know, I entered the Yoga Journal Talent Search contest.  The entry was two parts ---submit a picture of yourself in your favorite yoga pose, and state how yoga has inspired you.  Let's tackle part one here. Really, who has just one favorite yoga pose?!?!?!  There are very few poses I don't like ---and usually I don't experience them unless I take an advanced Ashtanga class.  Even then, I often experience a glimmer of goodness and sense of humility while in the pose. So … [Read more...]

Yoga With Your Boots On

October 21, 2010 By Melody

As a yoga teacher and student, I find Alan Nett's work in San Francisco inspiring.  He's teaching yoga to construction workers and other "blue-collar" types.  Known as Yoga With Your Boots On, Mr. Nett leads yoga classes allowing the participants to show up and stretch just as they are - with their boots, belts and whatever else they typically wear. Many yogis might read this and say it's not yoga with your shoes on.  Where's your lululemon gear?  Where's your yoga mat?   I say let people do … [Read more...]

one thing @ a time

September 30, 2010 By Melody

Last Saturday I participated in an all day mindfulness retreat @ the Mindfulness Practice Center in Fairfax, VA.  The morning started with a one hour mindful breathing meditation followed by another 30-45 minutes of mindful movements.  Neither one of these, though enjoyable, fully inspired me.  What was really eye-opening was the mindful walking and mindful eating. What does mindful mean?  Being 100% present with one thing.  Really feeling my entire foot touch the earth as I step vs. just … [Read more...]

Blessed

May 4, 2010 By Melody

The Washington, D.C. yoga scene is rocking!  Within a 3 week time frame this Spring (end of March - early April) I had the privilege to be in the presence of many great yogis within minutes from my Arlington, VA home. I took classes with Jivamukti founders Sharon Gannon and David Life when they were here the end of March.  I assisted Baron Baptiste, my primary teacher, during the MyMSYoga event hosted in Arlington, VA.  I attended an awesome 3-day advanced teacher training with Puerto Rico's … [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...]
