Dave and I are back at Kripalu for our annual November Yoga Body Buddha Mind weekend. Wouldn’t you think that we would get sick of teaching this material? Well, we don’t! It is different every time because the group is different every time and we are different every time.
There are so many open hearted, curious, smart people with us this weekend and a large percentage of them are experienced yogis and experienced meditators. Ten years ago it would have been the opposite percentage. Pretty cool to see how much yoga and meditation has infiltrated our culture.

Getting twisted help unknot our energy body. Not to mention the detox bennies.

With a big group you just have to get up on the little platform thing so everybody can see you but I am always afraid I will fall off! Maybe some yoga teachers are more stationary than me, but my sequencing is spatially oriented and there is not enough room on this box. Whatever. It works okay for baddhakonasana.

When you lift your arms does your neck vanish? Does your chest sink? Is it super effortful? Then open them out into a V for vinyasa!

This is Jill, one of the many smart and groovy YBBM yogis and yoginis this weekend.

This is Kripalu's new yoga room which is gorgeous. Lots and lots of props, too! Thanks, Kripalu.

This is the view from our room up on the top of the hill. Barren winter beauty.
