Namaste

NAMASTE! 

I am a yoga enthusiast. I love almost all things related to yoga. I am not a yogi adept, nor a yogalebrity. I  cannot read Sanskrit or begin to properly pronounce it. I don't have mad asana skills. I don't #yoga challenge pix on Instagram. I just like yoga and have lots of opinions about it. You may or may not agree. I decided to write about yoga because I was wearing everyone out talking about it. I had to give it a rest before people stopped going to Starbucks with me.

The adage "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"  has been super glued to me. I am not an expert in any aspect of yoga, I know a little about many things. In my defense, I own it. I couldn't fool any serious practitioner. I know many people who apparently only know one person who practices yoga and that is me. I don't fool them either.

 I practice at home and here and there. I am not wedded to any guru or master or to any  place or type of yoga. I get more out of my practice by jumping around than if I parked my mat at any one spot.

I love yoga classes, events, happenings, and community. I started snapping pix on my iPhone to capture the moment and the joy. I'm not a photographer either so these aren't the best. Every time Apple updates its camera, my product improves.  

My photos are not on Instagram tagged #yoga30daychallege #crazyhardpose. I don't have the body or the chops. Those are a thing, but not my thing. I love taking candid photos of real people doing real poses. Many people don't know how good they look just hanging out. They are happy. They are at ease. They are having fun. Why not picture it?

My work is the opposite of  the work of Robert Sturman and Jasper Johal. They aren't styled, airbrushed, photo shopped, or particularly well framed. I just have fun snapping and posting.FYI: My Facebook page is replete with yoga pix. I get excited every time my photos are shared or used as a profile picture.

Hopefully, this blog will have pix and possibly videos and vines, if I can get the hang of that. But wait there is more---hopefully, this blog will have regular posts about various things. I imagine being a yoga aggregator ; a community booster , a chronicler, a commentator, and muser. In my wildest dreams, I will say clever, insightful things while being so diplomatic that no one I know will ever get pissed off.
