The Canaries

December 16, 2016
Joyce Levy
Yoga + Poetry

How can we learn to listen to the canaries? The preliminary warnings of sensations that we receive from our intelligent bodies, and the world around us, so that we can be more healthy, centered, and caring leaders?

Moon For Our Daughters

My husband and I decided not to find out the gender of our second child before he was born. In part because the mystery allured us. In part because we hoped for a daughter, and we only plan to have two children. We knew we would love regardless. All through election season we waited to find out - would it be a boy? Or a girl?

"By definition, LIQUID,
is what seeks to obey gravity
rather than maintain its form,
forgoes all form to obey its gravity."

Satya

We all may have a limit
a tolerance for fibbing

A fib limit if you will
But when we lie, mislead, 
exaggerate, stampede

with falsity, knowing falsity,
we fail our own Integrity.

Laboring Autumn

Autumn does not suddenly shishito
Like an unexpected spice of chance
From Vibrant Green to paling yellow
She will Blossom, decay, and Dance.

This is one of the topics I am very interested in exploring in life, on this blog, and with you. Both Yoga and Poetry are art forms, which are interested in transcendance.

Alignment + Integrity

Alignment + Integrity

What are similarities between practicing with alignment and living with integrity? B.K.S. Iyengar said something to the effect of, “One of the most therapeutic things you can do for any given joint in the body is to be weight-bearing on the joint - in good alignment.” The catch, of course, is “in good alignment.”
