short bio (I hope!)

[Guest guest]

Thankyou Debbie for your info.

Though I myself am not a practitioner of magic, I have a rudementary knowledge

and respect for it.

We have a lot of animals around here which is a semi-rural area: apple

orchards, vinyards and redwood stands (they used to be forests). The animal

that has made the biggest impression is the puma I heard walking right by my

ground floor bedroom window one night and left tracks to prove it.

My first intro to yoga was by a Phys Ed teacher in high school. It was the

only class Iever took. My studies on and off over the years have been almost

entirely by books, having read Sivananda and Iyengar books as well as the

Richard Hittleman books from the 60's. My only discouragement about yoga is

that what I've seen in the media of it (magazines, television etc…). It seems

that they want to give the impression that all who practice yoga are extremely

lean, unusually flexible, young, wealthy, and overwhelmingly white people. An

"upscale" marketing ploy I'm sure. I wouldn't feel comfortable attending a

class where I was the only "normal" looking person of somewhat limited

flexibility. KY on the other hand gives a very different impression. The

results are within reach. The spiritual dimension is not ignored. It is

wholistic and inclusive and welcoming. I feel wonderful after every sadhana.

 

P.S. I am very very happy with the "transitions" book! So much information,

it's worth its weight in platinum. I am making an audio tape for myself to

give directions for daily sessions so as to not have to stop and turn pages.

In response to rhonannonion,

It's a shame you don't try to find a yoga class. I teach Hatha and Kundalini

and have all shapes and sizes. flexible and non flexible. Don' t get in the

way of yourself look around you might be surprised. ...Good luck
