Be the Wave

I recently got hired for a new part-time, work-from-home job, which I'll be revealing here in about 2 to 3 weeks. It's very yoga-related and very exciting, so I suggest you stay tuned to my yoga ramblings.

Meanwhile, a new job means a new area to practice my yogic lifestyle. I'm busier than I ever thought I could be as a freelance writer, which is both a blessing and a challenge. To cope, I'm embracing a beautiful dichotomy I read about in Yoga Beyond Belief, by Ganga White--the standing wave.

Every good surfer knows that a gnarly ride is a swell of dynamic movement harnessed by the shape of a wave. Likewise, asana (yoga posture) offers a stationary shape to hold the fluid internal energies of breath, intention, prana (life force), etc. It's a marriage of movement and stillness.

So, I'm attempting to turn my daily life into a standing wave. It's a good subsitute for surfing and smart way to stay sane.
