happiness

I've been taking some pictures for the studio. Yoga + photos, two of my most favourite things at the same time. It's been insanely fun.

Bad Ass Yoga Studio

The final frontier in all things yoga & trendy: the rock 'n' roll, kiss my assana studio. A haven for the pierced and tattooed. All are welcome - sort of...

robots are vegetarians?

Met a friend for coffee on Saturday. He got there first and claimed a table on the patio before meeting me inside to order. I thought he was joking when he described our table as "the one with the robot and camera on top". I should have known better, there was indeed a robot and camera waiting for me:



It was a bit of a stunned looking creature...



We tried to make him feel more comfortable by offering to share our meals but it turns out robots don't like chicken. Live and learn.

holidays

When yesterday's alarm went off at stupid-o-clock I must have woken up long enough to turn it off because when I woke up for real it was 11:30. Awesome. Had a long and wonderful home practice, I love practicing at home. This morning I had coffee in the sun before heading to the hottest shala in the world to dance with my mat. After practice I headed upstairs to the small studio where I could open the doors to breathe, meditate and take savasana with the spring breeze blowing over me. Awesome. When I finally opened my eyes the first thing I saw was this gorgeous beast standing guard:



She wasn't alone either, there was a whole bunch of them quietly standing guard over resting yogis. Behold the savasana-cow-posse:


Nice.

in the ally, in the theatre, in the morning

too lazy to get up

It was a perfect, sunny spring afternoon. Patio sitting, latte drinking, life loving, sun basking perfection. Too happy to move, had to make do with taking pictures from my vantage point on the patio, look left, look up, look right...

mo' blossoms

Ok, so I might be a bit obsessed with the cherry blossoms but it's so gorgeous and there are so many people out tree-worshipping and I wait for this week all winter long - I can't stay away.



Besides, I spent all day in an eight hour planning meeting (my own personal hell) where I distracted myself from dwelling on how much I hate meetings by daydreaming about being outside and making things like this:



Ridiculous. So when I got home, I grabbed food, grabbed my bike and headed to the park to picnic and tree-worship. The world is beautiful, like mother nature took every possible shade of green, scattered them about, and then turned the colour-volume up to high. Everything is so vibrantly alive..


Life is full of fun, I lost track of things and got my weeks confused. I thought this week was last week, I actually have only two days left before I'm done for the summer. How did that happen?

In other work news: I busted one of my students plagiarizing which turned into catching several students. It's a big deal and it kind of sucks. Lives will change. Though they chose to cheat, I still feel badly for them, and am not looking forward to the meetings today, people are going to cry (I might be one of them). In other-other work news: I have a few odd situations of the male-female yoga-bunny equivalent. Although I will miss all three of my jobs and have thought about continuing through the summer instead of stopping, the universe is definitely helping me find the silver lining in taking time away. Time and distance will take care of everything.
