Danny Paradise Ashtanga Yoga Workshop

slaDE, Danny and myself

Thanks to Facebook, last Saturday I haphazardly stumbled across a listing for a fantastic workshop to be taught at the Yoga Loft in Lindsay by World Renown Ashtanga Yoga Master, Shamanic Practitioner, Prana Facilitator, Philosopher and Musician, Danny Paradise. The thought of attending a class inspired by him had me beyond excited at the thought of slaDE also experiencing the style [...]

Recovering

True surrender

What a joy it was to sleep in this morning. The temperatures of the past week had waned, and a cool morning breeze filled the room and warmed my soul. I couldn’t help but wake with a smile, thinking of the past month here in Montreal. So many amazing and diverse memories, all involving flight [...]

Alumapalooza 2011 Final Day

Sunset over the Airstreams

What a full big day! With so many interesting opportunities to pursue today, I was torn between teaching our morning yoga class vs attending the SWAP Meet (think large flea market / garage sale, oriented towards RVers). slaDE was happy to lead the morning class through an hour of breathing and stretching. He even made [...]

Play with the Grandkids

4 wheeling with Grandpa

Dad and his wife Karen’s grandkids came to play for the weekend, and slaDE and I were swept along by all the excitement and laughter that the day brought with it. What a beautiful adventure it was to capture their essence with a camera, seeing the joy that only children seem to reflect in all [...]

The Artist Resides Everywhere

I awoke bright and early, wanting to capture the first glimpses of a sunrise, sun peaking above the ocean horizon. Fisherman waited patiently hoping to catch some tasty delights. A walk south along the beach filled my morning, discovery upon discovery stirring the awe-struck photographer within me. Exotic flowers filled my nostrils with glorious scent, [...]

A Day for Childhood Adventures

Ever since I was a wee little lass, I have enjoyed the magic of Walt Disney and the spirited fire and thrills of amusement parks, whether they be centred around Hannah Barbara, Walt Disney, Pixar,

Marvel, Universal Studios, etc. Childhood fantasies of flight and motion, superhuman powers, of movie magic, [...]

New Years in Zephyrhills

After a day of jumping with our New York skydiving friends, I was whisked away in an RV6 aerobatic home-built plane, twirling around the skies performing barrel rolls and loop-de-loops with ’Spoon’, a resident pilot friend also from NY. What a way to catch sunset on the last day of the year!

yogaFLIGHT on the Outer Banks

Thus far, our experience of North Carolina has been amazingly incredible adventure, sharing the journey with both old and new friends, generous in their hospitality, graciousness and spirit. It’s hard to believe that just under 3 weeks ago we left Canada. We didn’t expect to spend this much time in North Carolina. But I am [...]

Another Amusement Park

With my Father heading south of the border for the day, my older sister and nephew had the urge to go to Marineland with Forrester’s friend Ryan. So if we wanted to spend the day visiting with my oft-not-visited family, it meant going against all my urges of supporting a Zoo (of sorts), that housed [...]
