On Sunday, January 8th, 2012, we held our third annual tipi camp yogathon fundraiser. This year we were fortunate enough to have Self Design High on Victoria Street, downtown Nelson, offered free to us as a venue for the day. Many thanks to all that made that happen for us. What a great new space this [...] -

thanks Scott. I am excited to see what you manifest in the coming year.
glad to see you blogging, and I encourage you to share more of your ideas around permaculture systems… I think they’re wonderfully symbolic and that permaculture principles can be applied to many aspects of life.
peace, Brian

I opened Remember, Be Here Now to a random page this morning and here is what I found. If you don’t know it, this book is a modern yoga classic. His experience is equal parts academia, psychedelia and yoga. THE FINAL PLACE THAT THE GAME LEADS TO IS: WHERE YOU LIVE CONSCIOUSLY IN ALL OF IT WHICH [...] -

cool, thanks Anie. I’ve also heard that our hips hold the relationship with our mothers, and shoulders with fathers… very interesting to investigate this idea in myself and others. I’ve found a lot of insight applying this concept to long-held tensions in each area…

“No one can ‘do yoga’. Yoga means union with God. Yoga means eternal happiness, bliss, joy, and unconditional love. Yoga is who you are. It is your natural state. What we can do are practices that, by revealing to us our resistance to existing in our natural state, may lead us to it.” Sharon Gannon and David Life, Founders of Jivamukti [...] -

thanks Anie! Yes I realized as I was writing that I was making generalizations, and I’m glad you called me on it. I think I was trying to get across these two different ways of being in body – - the “use and abuse” approach that’s is part of our masculine-dominated culture, and the calm [...]

Hey Krista, Thanks for your comment. I think you’re right and that yoga’s perceived femininity is a turn-off for many guys. It’s unfortunate, traditionally (in India) yoga was predominantly practiced by men and not seen as a suitable pass-time for women.. But this was in a very different culture, one without football and where everyone [...]

I wrote this blog post for the yoga.inthekoots blog. It’s about how men relate to their bodies, and how yoga can help cultivate a more receptive and healthy attitude. Its relevant for women too! My intention is to offer some of my experience in yoga with the hopes that more men might give it a try.
“Historically, [...]

Our friend Anie Boudreau just posted an article called ” 5 reasons why dudes should practice yoga “. I’d started a similar post a few weeks ago but never finished it… so now I’m taking the opportunity to weigh in! This line in particular stuck with me :
“unlike our female counterparts, who often deal with stress outwardly, most dudes [...]

great post Anie, I’ve been thinking of writing a similar one (as a male yogi) and I think you’ve just inspired me to action!

i’m trying to think of why these creatures want to get out so badly… why we build such enclosed, sealed-off homes. we build these safe, comfortable places for ourselves but they seem to create the urge to get out! go places! see what the world is all about! im happy to hear about your buggy [...]

yes actually
I left the ashram after a bit of a push from a swami… needed it to free myself from stagnation. It proved that a compassionate act can also be forceful, and doesn’t have to be nice. -

I’m sitting on my back porch listening to JJ Cale. I just finished practicing Hatha yoga outside with a view of the lake and mountians at sunset in Nelson, BC. With the sky sponge-painted blue and pink, I stood on my high perch and started to breathe. I expanded into the poses and reached inward [...] -
