Write something that revolves around movement. Welcome to Day 3 of the Writing Prompt excitement. Something that revolves around movement... Since the lockdown due to the pandemic, I've added a couple of new talents to my repertoire. First, I've become an expert bread-maker.

Roofing in July
I wrote this post during my lunch hour today as I longingly gazed at the sun from my office window. Back in the old days (the 80's), I lived in a stereotypically suburban neighborhood consisting of blocks and blocks of cape cod houses with decent-sized lawns, little to no traffic, and sidewalks leading to your…
Yoga Adventures: My Yoga Crush and The Return of The Giggle Girl
A little backstory before I get to this week's Yoga Adventures. One recent Friday I was off of work and decided to take a weekday yoga class. Ah! What a luxury! I knew there would be less people-- maybe some stay-at-home parents and some retirees-- which would mean space. Space that extended a foot or…

As you all know, I try to attend yoga class twice a week. My yoga classes are held at a gym-- a regular gym with rows of treadmills and ellipticals, a basketball and racquetball court, and even a "Cardio Cinema" (Basically, it's a movie theater that substitutes cardio machines for seats.

Chopping the Branches of Avidya
My husband gave me a book for Christmas called, The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice, by T.K.V. Desikachar. I previously posted about my newfound love for yoga, and I wanted to share something I read that applies universally, whether or not you enjoy yoga practice. The following is from Chapter Two, "The Foundations of Yoga Practice." Don't…
Chaturanga Man and Stretchy Woman
A few years ago, after committing to living healthier, I started doing yoga at home with DVDs. I wasn't really into it. In fact, I remember describing it as "goofy." So I gave up my home yoga practice and joined a gym, opting for a weight-lifting class and an occasional trot on the treadmill. After…
