almost random acts of joy
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | April 17, 2009
If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ve probably noted that I’m a sucker for random, or the nearly random acts of joy expressed on this lovely, though too often, cruel planet. I am still working on responding to comments and finishing up a post on BALANCE….in the meantime, sit back and enjoy this lovely song [...]
Flexiblity
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | March 31, 2009
When advertising my classes, I stress developing flexibility, strength, and balance. Most people will read that and presume I’m referring to physical aspects focused upon in the classes, which is true.
However, FLEXIBILITY, BALANCE, and STRENGTH are qualities needing development in every mind, heart, and life.
When I canceled classes at the last minute in order [...]

comfortretreat insights#2
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | January 23, 2009
This is a continuation of my notes from last weekend’s Virtual Comfort Retreat somewhat disjointed, etc., but you can, I hope, get the idea.
Dr. Judith Orloff –
Emotional freedom = Increasing your ability to love more by relinquishing the hold of negative emotions
This is her own technique developed from her work as psychiatrist and [...]
Tree karma, tipsy angel, yoga’tude, joy
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | January 7, 2009
It was an ordinary winter break.
Sure, there was a ridiculous blizzard, mucho tree karma again, kids stranded overnight in Atlanta, anise cookies baked too late for aging, fruitcake eaten too early for aging, the last minute gift wrapping frenzy, and unexpected visitors, including our dog-guest, Yoshi.
But there was also the traditional cheesy plastic nativity set [...]
Kundalini, Breath of Fire
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | December 2, 2008
One of the high points of visiting Dave & family for Thanksgiving holiday was checking out long-time family friend, Edwin Woods’ Friday morning Kundalini class at Spring of Happiness in Manlius NY. Greeted by teacher, Theone Wilkinis in her studio, I immediately relaxed and found “my space” on a blue mat in the corner. [...]
Breath poem
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 21, 2008
every single breath
moist inside
and without time
every single part of every breath
musky the inhalation,
a pause
where is my mind?
the exhalation egregious
sultry or smooth, silken or salty,
another pause – maybe – or not
beginning?
middle?
end?
who taught me to breathe?
this in breath comes faster,
no pause
sighing out breath
was there a first breath?
releasing all that’s past, begin [...]
Panterrra Pre-Natal Yoga Workshop
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | September 28, 2008
Saturday morning, I wondered what I was doing in a pre-natal yoga workshop; after all, I hadn’t had a pregnant woman in class for at least one year. Furthermore, my own pregnancies were more than 22 years ago! Something inside nagged me to attend the workshop though, and one thing I’ve learned from my years [...]
Waking Up
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | August 13, 2008
What happens when you first open your eyes in the morning?
What are your first thoughts, and feelings?
How do you transition from sleep and dreaming to “reality” ?
There are a couple of different patterns of waking I have noticed:
Acting as if on autopilot, I head to the bathroom
Opening my eyes to grumbling-or curse- due to some [...]
