Practice Journal, Inversions
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | January 16, 2010
What is it about being upside down that causes such a rush? Is it the increased blood flow? Is it the heart rest? Is it because Mind rests more easily and fully when the legs are up? Is it more psychological: being upside down forces up to look at the world with a different [...]

January 11, 2010 FOCUS: Standing Pose Flow

Video Thursday, RUMI poetry meditation
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | June 11, 2009
Poetry can be used as a wonderful tool for your meditation. There is a layer of a good poem that is “off the page.” When I teach poetry, I ask my students to try to understand, not only the literal interpretation of a given poem, but also whatever levels they find off the page.
Often, we [...]
Nepali Peace Song
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | May 14, 2009
Today we celebrate Nepal’s Tibetan Singing Nun, Ani Choying Dolma. The footage of Ani with the elephant calf is worth the time you’ll invest watching this gorgeous film. But there is so much more beauty here. Settle into your chair, or spread yourself into savasana pose, and invite peace into your life with the sound [...]
