Seasonal update: We are back on the dock! Come down (and sign up early!) for Greater Burlington YMCA Yoga on the Dock at the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center Inc. It's been really beautiful, and for some reason, this year, I'm noticing more birds singing in the morning. You've get up early to catch them, though : ) We start at 7 am. I'm on Tuesday. The rest of the schedule is here, and you can sign up 3 days ahead: https://www.gbymca.org/membership/hours-schedules/group-fitness-schedule/

This morning, I talked a little bit about the post-Zen teacher Toni Packer, and the concept of "awaring." This is from Toni:

"Again, can we start out by not knowing? .... What is the innermost core of myself, right now?

The space of listening without knowing is open, unoccupied, undivided by thought. There are birds twittering, a fan is humming, people are breathing, coughing—a palpitating energy not confined within the skin. No one is separate from all this, nothing needs to be shut out or shut in. No inside and no outside here! One vibrant aliveness without boundaries, an embrace of love."

So, YOTD (Yoga on the Dock) season is in full swing! Lucky us. See friends, birds, mountains—maybe a rainbow. Do it with me Tuesday mornings, 7-8 am, or with any of my fellow teachers on the Greater Burlington YMCA roster! Sign up in advance, please, and BYO everything (a mat and any props, towels, etc. you want to have handy). If it's raining too much, we'll be up on Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center top deck. Otherwise, the preference in most weather is to have a "floating practice" on the dock. See you soon!

Wow! Great to be out on the deck at the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center today co-teaching with Nicci Micco in a preview of what's coming this summer for Yoga on the Dock through the Greater Burlington YMCA. We start outside the week of June 16, 7-8 am. Can't wait!

Back inside for the season! Morning yoga at the Greater Burlington YMCA, 7:30 am every Tuesday. And check out the whole crew of teachers offering yoga -- and tai chi, and Feldenkrais method, and cycling -- classes throughout the week :) However you like to move, just keep moving!

I love teaching yoga at the Greater Burlington YMCA and love these sweet notes from students! Thank you all! I believe that Yoga should be accessible for anyone. Just sign up and come in if you’re interested in seeing what it can do for you.

So cool. I love this stuff. Yoga-y, if not strictly "yoga." But why be strict?

Crawling around like a crab or gorilla has become a bona fide exercise fad. It looks a little silly, but it’s also a serious workout.
