Play yoga!
’m supervising a Chinese student using SKYPE- she’s in training to be a psychoanalyst- and we talk about many things, including breath work and yoga. I visit Shanghai every Tuesday morning on the Internet.
In the US, as you know, we “do yoga.” In China, I am delighted to say, people “play yoga.”
Nevertheless, the first time my student said “play yoga” I was a bit taken aback. “Play” yoga? But I don’t like the idea of “doing” yoga either, it seems a bit stiff, maybe shallow. I always think it should be the other way around- I”m not doing yoga, yoga is doing me- and everybody else.
Swamis are often pretty humorous. My Swamiji, Swami Satchidananda was naturally playful. I bet he “played” yoga plenty, and that he wanted the rest of us to do the same!

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother’s Day! We’re all mothers and fathers, regardless of our gender, and reproductive or parenting histories. We each carry the seeds of connections, the ability to be empathic, the possibility of envisioning other people’s thoughts and feelings, the sure knowledge that others are as real as we are, and the ability to care.
