Scott is super humble. He’s been doing his practice seriously and privately for many many years – and it shows in his demeanor. Last class I took with him he told us about how when he first met his teacher he could do lots of advanced hatha yoga poses, but his teacher made him practice this very simple stance for a few years until he could stay in it for up to 30 minutes without fatiguing his muscles or getting frustrated…the challenge of this stance, which he made us do in class for a few minutes and it was tough, is to focus on stability in the bones….only then would his teacher let him invert. I thought that was pretty legit.

There’s something there with that guy, right. Never done it, but it does have some gravity it seems. Wonder what it is???

Shadow yoga is pretty powerful. I’ve taken a number of classes from Scott Blossom and each one was really illuminating. It’s quite different from my regular practice, but I found it to be very informative in terms of the awareness of prana moving and how to find real stability in stance by focusing on the bones. If I lived in Berkeley I would be at his center all the time. Scott’s a fantastic teacher, very down to earth, serious and light-hearted all at the same time. Highly recommend him.

On the subject of the up-dog down dog transition …
I found, for the few years of my practice, that frequently at the end of my yoga practice I’d bave brief, stabbing pain in one or both of my sacro-iliac joint.

One day, a dear friend of mine was subbing for one of my favourite teachers, and I was kinda sorta demoing for him but more, you know, doing my practice. And the dude says, “when you transition from up dog to down dog, roll over both feet simultaneously. It’s a little unstable on your sacro-iliac joint if you do it one leg at a time.”

My sacro-iliac joint has felt MUCH better since then. I was able to get this much needed instruction because the class was small because most of the regular students didn’t come because there was a sub.

So, maybe there’s some merit to the above comment. I try to void cut and dry rules like that

The thing is, objects–clothes at the very least–should be either useful or beautiful. If they’re both, that’s a home run.
These thingies, however, are neither beautiful nor actually useful. WTF

Horizontal butt pleats…who knew that someone could make yoga pants look so bad-ass? And by bad-ass I mean making a perfectly normal butt look just silly.
