Airplane window view passing over the Alps returning home to Geneva from Crete. On the flight to Crete over the New Year holiday, we flew very low over the Alps. The pilot seemed to circle them and the airline attendants ran around excitedly telling us to look out the window. The pilot flew very low for stunning [...]

So much about teaching yoga is about teaching how to create space: space in our bodies, space in our minds and space in our lives. Your space is where you find yourself again and again.

Things are getting out of control lately. So much so, I’m posting these photos I found laying around my computer since November. That’s Mr. Wild Dingo there on Lake Léman with les loups.

Phthph! This month’s masthead is totally sappy. I don’t do sappy well. I hemmed and hawed. I kicked and stammered. But Mr. Wild Dingo, who’s even less sappier than me, twisted my arm and told me to run it. It’s just as well. This week, I’m giving a yoga class themed on love in light [...]
