OM, OM, OM (sutra 1.27 & 1.28)

April 24, 2012 By Melody

Yesterday morning after my 20 minute pranayama & meditation practice I picked up The Yoga Sutras and thought "I will open them and whatever sutra my finger lands on I will write about that sutra this week."  My first attempt I landed on sutra 2.7 (attachment) which I recently wrote about.  My second attempt I landed on sutra 1.27:  The expression of Ishwara is the mystic sound of OM.  (Note OM is God's name as well as form). Two thoughts crossed my mind 1) Oh no, I'm not going to get into … [Read more...]

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...]

The Only Constant: Change

September 10, 2011 By Melody

"I'm coaching you to dance with the one constant in life:  change.  Do you choose stagnation or the unknown?  Every choice you make can propel you toward change or keep you in the same dulling, suffocating box.  Change is rebirth.  When a caterpillar weaves herself into a chrysalis and undergoes metamorphosis, she emerges as a butterfly, bearing only the merest resemblance to her earlier form.  Transformation can be really exciting, but we have to tolerate an incredible period of vulnerability … [Read more...]

God

June 24, 2011 By Melody

Who is God?  Why is the topic of he/she/shim so complicated and controversial?  Part of my summer "to do" list is to read The Bhagavad Gita again for the 3rd time in 4 years.  I am trying and hoping to finally make some sense of it.  So as I've started reading it I can't help but contemplate this God/Krishna/Allah/Buddha question. My teacher Dharma Mittra ends all his classes by saying "Be receptive to the grace of God".  Thoughts of "how, what, why, who is this God" spin through my head.  In … [Read more...]

Yoga All the Time

May 25, 2011 By Melody

After my sweaty yoga practice yesterday morning at Down Dog, I headed straight to a small business lending workshop in Arlington.  Suits surrounded me and there I stood in my professional yoga teacher uniform - black lululemon groove pants, blue canoe twist top and abellaYoga shirt.  Not the point of this blog post, but I do love how I can go straight from a sweaty yoga outfit into a non-sweaty one and get away with it since it's my profession :) Anyway as typical for a breakfast event, it … [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...]
