Last night, my wonderful student Shelley had a Crow Pose Breakthrough in my class at the beautiful Exhale Mind Body Spa. People usually think the secret to arm balances is greater upper body strength or more core. But it’s not about “muscling through.” Instead, it’s usually two th...

This Letter from my great friend Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy––the writer known as SARK––is so beautiful and moving, it’s worth sharing in its entirety: My most beloved partner, husband of my soul, co-author & co-teacher Dr. John Waddell, aka Mr. Wonderfull, died on March 5. He slipped away so el...

The Universe can sometimes be too funny. Yesterday was a very intense workday, capped by a delightful dinner at Plant with Susan and Val and Belle. Perhaps the funniest moment of the day, however, was this Cosmic Wink. I got a copy of AS A MAN THINKETH by James Allen, written in 1903, from the Library beca...

Saturday, I think I spoke to a few people on the phone and texted others, but I mostly cut 35 pages from the script. As Dan points out, if it were now filmed at 224 pages, it would only be a 3 hour and 44 minute film, only 8 minutes longer than Lawrence of Arabia. Obviously, totally not acceptable yet. Alt...

Yesterday, Susan spoke at the Goddess Collective in Oakland.  She was (as always) beyond amazing, inspiring, and nourishing –– but today Belle and I are exhausted from our appreciation level.   [Our friend Amy Ahlers spoke right before her and was also sensational.] First, the Go...

Yesterday I quoted Brad Goreski saying “Cute does not pay the bills” and while I totally understand that, in my heart of hearts I just don’t believe it.  (Susan pointed it out tonight as well, just as we were about to enter a Fragrance Fest –– more on that soon). I do thi...

            Like Tintin, I awoke today and immediately did a long (6 minute) headstand. Apparently Tintin also does yoga in another one of his adventures, again without any explanation –– it’s just sort of happening and no one remarks or even seems to notice it. Belle...

I’m not a big fan of a 2012 Apocalypse, but Wikipedia defines one as: “An Apocalypse (Greek: “lifting of the veil” or “revelation”) is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted.” I love the ...

Today awoke and began working on the core/ab/whatever workshop for January and for our online course (amongst episodes of 30 Rock.) Watched one ab DVD and did the workout and although the information was rather good, the quality was shockingly poor.  We’re not talking boom mikes entering the frame ––...
