Get Lost In The Hips

Hip Openers • 57m

9.26.23 - Jane and I have become huge fan of dancing to EMD (electronic dance music). What is funny is we both have degrees in music, and on the surface this music can sound like a constant bass drum, and that's it. In actuality, the great EDM DJs are experts at creating a sound landscape for physical music. You truly get into the experience of being embodied. What you don't do is any thinking. Doesn't that sound like we are searching for in yoga..minimal thinking? That's why I love it...and today or focus will be on opening the hips, which is where a lot of energy can be stored, and a great place to focus in body in order to get out of the mind. Enjoy!

    Monday, Jan 23, 2023 - A PT was a guest lecturer for the UVM Yoga Training Program, and said something I hadn't thought of before...that the physical yoga practice is about mobility, not flexibility. I love that, and we consider that in today's practice.

    Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023 - Sometimes all kinds of thoughts can get in the mind, and it's good to take control of that. You can think of the idea of having a "bouncer of the mind." Someone is has hanging out at the entrance of the mind, deciding what thoughts come in and what thoughts stay out.
