Mind, body, spirit \u2014 yoga is a holistic experience for many. But did one element or another first draw you to the practice? That is, were you seeking to settle your mind? Have greater physical flexibility? Explore your spiritual nature?<\/p>\n

strength, and because I wanted to do arm balances and headstands<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"How about now: does yoga feed your mind or your body or your spirit more, or are those elements more in balance than when you started?<\/p>\n

body and mind, definitely<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How long have you been practicing yoga?<\/p>\n

2007, I think? maybe 2008<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How frequently do you practice yoga?<\/p>\n

daily<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Are you more likely to attend classes at a studio or practice yoga at home?<\/p>\n

now, post COVID, definitely home practice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Do you have a preferred yoga style?<\/p>\n

I’m trained in Viniyoga, but I do love Ashtanga and any fairly kinetic vinyasa practice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When you were starting out, what came easiest and what was more challenging?<\/p>\n

depends… flexibility, I had, so that was easy \u2014 strength came later and from much effort \u2014 the yoking of breath to movement, without distraction: that’s the hardest for me, and I’m still working on it<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What have been the greatest benefits of yoga for you?<\/p>\n

I have a more balanced, emotionally level approach to non-physical challenges and frustrations \u2014 I strive to be Vulcan! \u2014 but I’m not<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Apart from yoga, do you practice other techniques of mindfulness or meditation?<\/p>\n

heh \u2014 yes \u2014 the Litany Against Fear from <\/strong><\/em>Dune<\/strong>, when something is scary and I need to calm down ASAP<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Do you regularly do other forms of exercise?<\/p>\n

I run 3 times a week and walk the other 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Outside of a yoga session, do you ever just assume a pose and stretch? If so, which pose(s) and where?<\/p>\n

sure! \u2014 most often some variant of uttanasana<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If I gave you an expenses-paid yoga retreat, where would you go?<\/p>\n

Iceland!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
