Yoga—-Stayin Alive

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

I subscribe to a newsletter put out by the authors of “Skinny Bitch” which despite the title, is actually and excellent book that should be mandatory reading. The newsletters are typically well researched and highly informative. One recent newsletter was about New Years Fitness options and Disco Yoga was one of them. I couldn’t believe it, yet I have to keep in mind they cater to a varied demographic. Have a read and see what you think. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone, but my training and studies just don’t allow me to accept this easily. To read the article click on the image below

Disco Yoga

The main concerns I have regarding these types of articles (ehow, more about their yoga how to later) are on safety and certification. Does taking a few yoga classes qualify one to teach these days? Walk into a gym and get hired just like that? I sure hope that gyms and fitness centers are thorough in their vetting process. I know the ones I teach at have incredibly high levels of integrity. I love to boogie and dance to a hard driving disco beat in the right setting but I am partial to chanting and quiet in a yoga class. I would rather enjoy the Bee Gee’s the way they are meant to be enjoyed

Gogol Bordello in Vancouver!!!!

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

One of my very favorite bands are coming back to Vancouver! I’m so lucky, they always seem to land here in October right around my birthday, making me a very happy gal! This time they are at the Vogue Theatre Oct.10,11th. I believe the 10th is sold out, but there are always ways! ( I have my tix, so I can post this w/o worry).
Eugene Hutz, the front man, is also the star of Madonna’s directorial debut film “Filth and Wisdom”, which I highly recommend. Not for everyone, but hey, what is?

the uber talented Devendra mashes some Santana with some Bollywood on this track”Carmensita” From the 2007 album “Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon” . He taps into the good vibrations of my favorite So Cal destination, Topanga Canyon, where it was recorded.
Highly Recommend!
