by NinaUnder the Beach Umbrella by Joan Webster “You did great,” my oral surgeon said. “In fact, you were the most relaxed patient I’ve ever worked on. You even fell asleep there for a while.”“Wasn’t asleep,” I mumbled through my numb and swollen lips. “Was doing yogic breathing.”He looked at me with fascination, then quickly handed me a piece of paper and a pen. “Could you write down what you did for me?”“Uh, email you later?”Of course I didn’t...

Clarification: Aging, Yoga and Science

by BradWinter Trees by Brad GibsonToday’s post is largely in response to the question: How would one go about investigating the effects of yoga on aging scientifically? Before tackling this question—which I will get to in the next week or two—I will first attempt to define or at least discuss a few key terms and assumptions. The reasons for this will hopefully become clear.In the broadest the terms, “aging” applies to how systems or entities change...

Full Disclosure

by Brad GibsonThe Light on the Water (from Muir Beach) by Brad GibsonOkay, so it took me ten years to finally listen to my wife Nina and take up yoga. I may be slow, but I’m not an idiot.
