Away from the panic and the fear
There must be a heart that keeps me here

Never stop learning.

Always keep moving.

I woke up really early this morning and was three minutes late for the yoga class that I had woken up early to take.  Now, the teacher wouldn’t have cared if I was three minutes late, but I did, so I decided/… Read full post »

People will always argue with me on the benefits of fasting and detoxing.  

 

I believe in believing in your body.  Your body naturally detoxifies itself; otherwise you'd be dead. 

 

However, depending on what things are going on in your life, you may be reaching… Read full post »

So, I finished the 14 day cleanse, 4 days of the Ayurvedic dish kitchadi to 'come off' toxins and 10 days on the Master Cleanse (lemon, cayenne pepper and maple syrup).  

 

I've done this fast before sans the kitchadi.  I will never do just the master cleanse… Read full post »

7th day. Never do the master cleanse and fly the trapeze. Highly un-recommended... although I did do the splits.  

This is Lane Searle.

At least that's what they call me at the Y. My handwriting is horrid. I take after my dad.

I haven't joined a gym in a really long time because that's one of the perks from working at one; you get to work out at one too!

My dad.
My personal, musical and driving inspiration.
He is good.
His chemo is workin' and he's on to the second chapter.
The tests came back and it hasn't spread to more than the metastasis in his lung but it's still there so we're on…

I was reticent. I was.

The last time I was there, I was wearing a polyester jumper a newly fried and badly done perm and sadly overweight...and ten years old.

It's twenty years later and here I am again with a man whom I've known for over a decade and always…

Ow!!

Bad yogi...

You should no better.

But alas, I'm the little yogi that could.

And I'm out there every day makin' mistakes and bringin' the lessons to the mat to learn from...for the both of us.

Have you ever committed to something and then regretted it?

My car got rear ended...

The drivers in this city need a lesson. Perhaps I should start teaching driving. Since it's in the blood and all. My dad, is, was a driver, so...

I’m a person and I have flaws.

A ton of em.

But, when I’m teaching, I try to put it all aside and focus on the needs of my students. After my class yesterday, a rather good one I thought, I quickly came out of teacher mode and became frustrated/…
