Acro Yoga, Montreal style

Inversion Therapy

It was crappy weather here again in the morning … no chance of a hop and pop, so we headed in to Montreal for the Sunday afternoon Acro Yoga jam. Normally Eugene Poku and Jessie Golberg run the 2 hour jam, but today, we briefly met them on leaving the studio (they had a wedding [...]

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 [...]

Kids and adult yogaFLIGHT

Alumapalooza 2011 – Day 5:

Following the rivet master team contest, slaDE and I taught a kids yoga class that was even better attended and outstanding than the first one! slaDE is an incredible story teller, and weaved a circus story that had the children laughing, attentive and engaged for a full hour. It was [...]

Yoga and Healthy Living on the Road

Our Healthy Living workshop

With very little sleep and a lack of desired preparation for today’s ‘Healthy Living on the Road’ workshop, I was running on pure adrenaline in addition to being a wee bit nervous about standing up teaching about what I deem healthy choices in my life. slaDE was laid back and open to me being the commander to [...]

The Yogic Circle

Morning Yoga Tree

To start the day off brilliantly, we decided that I’d offer to make Vita-Mix smoothies (in small sample cups — recipe Day #1 is published at the end of the post) for each of the students that turned up to class. I’ve always been an adamant believer in a hearty nutritious breakfast, and with the [...]

Big Top Yoga

DSC_6413

Day One officially began yesterday with the stream of Airstream die-hards starting to trickle in, arriving from all corners of North America (with California potentially being the farthest attendees). Today on ‘Day Two’ slaDE and I kicked off the event with our early morning yoga class in the big top tent. Much to our surprise, the [...]

Alumapalooza 2011

Our Airstream Airabella: homebased for the week at Alumapalooza

Alumapalooza 2011:

The benefits of arriving a day early at a rally is to see the evolving and birthing of the event. However, Alumapalooza isn’t just any Airstream gathering. I can personally attest to this statement with this being our 2nd year of attendance here in Jackson Center. There is a magic behind the [...]

Setting Up Camp at the Airstream Factory

Amy & Rhonda: the faces of Airstream Customer Service

Relaxing …. breathing …. settling in …. Airstreaming …. Alumapaloozing

I love this poem posted by Tom Nugler in the Airstream AirForums. It pretty much sums up the whole experience here in Jackson Center:

Long driving, Heat scorching, Friends meeting, Sun burning, Nights cooling, Seminar taking, Winds blowing, Fire breathing, Goodie buying, Factory [...]

Return from Paradise

Loving paradise!

Both slaDE~ and I were excited about waking at the crack of dawn to watch the sun crest the ocean horizon. Unfortunately, what has become a common occurrence here on holiday, I awoke at 3am fully alert, twiddling my thumbs, random mundane thoughts rampant in my brain, tumbling like a dryer full of static [...]

Yoga Poses with a Unique Partner

Warrior 1: Virabhadrasana I

Capturing the beautiful early morning light of sunrise, slaDE~ and I took some fun photos recreating yoga poses where the railing was used as a prop / ‘partner’. I used creative influence with some of the stretches suggested by Kirsten in yesterday’s yoga class (Ak’Bol Yoga Retreat, Belize), fully envisioning a future partner yoga / yogaFLIGHT class [...]
