		<title>New Spinach (and Udyamo Bhairava)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fifth sutra in Abhinavagupta&#8217;s Siva Sutras, is &#8220;udyamo bhairava&#8221; &#8212; the great upsurge of consciousness.  When we are open and aware, we can witness this upsurge, the very pulsing of life energy in all that is in and around us, from the springing up of thought in our minds to the burgeoning of spring.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sauca (Another Perspective)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend and Willow Street colleague Natalie Miller taught a lovely class on Monday night, using sauca as her theme.  She said that she had recently read a book that described the yamas as things we do to be better persons, but that the niyamas were precepts for our spiritual practice to lead us better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heard on the Elevator (and intention for change)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The elevator I rode to my fifth floor office this morning was very full.  Several of the people in the elevator were wearing visitor badges.  As I walked on, I heard a woman say to a colleague, &#8220;&#8230;if you get a good one, they can do amazing things.  I had a frozen shoulder, and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gardening When It&#8217;s Not Quite Time (and Sauca)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first of Patanjali&#8217;s niyamas (part of the ethical precepts that are precursors to the practice of asana, pranayama, and meditation) is sauca &#8212; purity or cleanliness.  The practice of sauca includes in it a literal exhortation to be physically clean.  I think it also carries with it a sense of order, a cleaning out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yoga for Gardeners (a little more detail and a request for questions)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the Yoga for Gardeners Workshop, I will be ordering the workshop into (1) yoga to prepare for a session in the garden; (2) yoga pauses to do intermittently while gardening; and (3) yoga post-gardening.  I&#8217;m off to enjoy the bright sunny day, to volunteer at The Lantern, and to take care of a neighbor&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Does It Mean to Be a Grown-up? (and Householder Yoga)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Dan posted a blog entry earlier this week talking about getting distracted by a rainbow.  He wrote that he was sure that other &#8220;grownups&#8221; did not get distracted by the rainbow. As I was observing the way people were commuting this afternoon, grimly looking down, hurrying along, texting and phoning, and apparently completely [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Breath Leads the Way (and Atha Yoga Anusasanam)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reminded the other day of a principle of reading the great Hindu philosophical work:  all of the meaning of the text can be understood from not only the first sutra, but the first word.  The first sutra of The Yoga Sutrasof Patanjali&#8217;s is &#8220;atha yoga anusasanam&#8221; &#8212; now begins an exposition of the [...]]]></description>
