I’ve arrived in Montana, it’s almost January, and last night we experienced lightning ushering in a snowstorm…as if we needed further proof of the magic around Feathered Pipe land!
Walking on ice-packed sidewalks reminds me of one of my favorite metaphors to use when teaching. When I find myself looking for the best (safest) place to [...]
The FPF has led many trips to India and but our days with Swami Veda were among the best. It was a traditional ashram in the best sense. I felt like I was back in school going from class to class with my notebook in hand absorbing the nectar of this wonderful place. [...]

Sublime, superb film. Every frame a beautifully composed shot. The editing flows, and the entire structure of the film has extraordinary spirit. I was needing a little pick me up, and reminder of looking at the big picture. Needing to remember the passion that drives our soul. Thank [...]

One of My Favorite Things about yoga is how there is always a discovery, available around just about any waiting corner. Last night was one such for me. The geographic corner I went around was San Pablo Bay, to Larkspur Landing in Marin County. The yoga corner of discovery was my personal introduction to one [...]
I just had the honor to give a talk to a class in the Gender and Women’s Studies department at Sonoma State University. One of my yoga students is the lecturer for the class and had asked me to share my take on how yoga lends to empowerment. My topic was A FORCE OF NATURE: REVEALING [...]

As a teacher, it is a greater fulfillment when I can demonstrate rather than tell [...]
Dear India (Life Journey)Travelers,
WOW! I’ve wanted to write all week, but also just as you are re-assessing what it is to be home, so am I. It is hard to try to explain the nature of India, everyone is asking and I’m gearing up for the big group classes next week answering their questions. [...]
