Dawn of the Head (13 minutes)
|
Hi Everyone, I’m in the middle of one of those months. At the beginning of the year, the Universe made itself very clear: By March, I got impatient. ( In my defense, Reader… I do have bills to pay down here on Earth.) And now I’m in it. • Yoga Trapeze workshops this weekend. I love every part of what I do. I had every intention of taking this week off from writing. But Thursday’s Galileo class offered up something I didn’t want to sit on—a short, 13-minute chair sequence that brings ease and mobility back to the upper body in a very direct way. So I uploaded it to YouTube. If you feel like it, you too can start your morning with Dawn of the Head. Next Sunday, I’ll share more about the art project (it will be open to the public—May 2 in Berkeley), along with a bit more detail about the one-day Somatic Retreat in Carmel Valley on 04/25. In the meantime, I’m going to keep riding the wave I apparently asked for. Domini Anne P.S. If you’ve been feeling a little like you’re being pulled in five directions at once, this one might meet you exactly where you are. Was this email forwarded to you? |

For those of us who live here, it means overwhelming traffic, commutes that can multiply in length, and a seemingly endless parade of extremely expensive sports cars revving, racing and announcing...
Have you ever gotten hung up on a word for no particular reason? One that quietly follows you around for weeks until you find yourself bringing it up in conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with it? I've become mildly obsessed with the word discombobulated. It has come up at least three times over the past couple of weeks, and every time I've found myself making the same argument. If you can be discombobulated... Surely, at some point, you ought to be combobulated. English has a...
Crop it like it’s Hotor: why not every thought needs a solo Last week we went to see my daughter’s musical theater showcase before their troupe goes on tour to Albania. I continue to be wildly impressed by the teacher who runs this program. The scale alone is enough to make me want to lie down. Multiple age groups, massive ranges in talent … and somehow every student gets their moment. Which is important. The kids worked hard, the parents paid. Everybody wants to see their person shine. And...
