The Problems with Kelly Morris’ Latest Wanderlust Talk
I’ve said this before, and will say it again and again and again, speaking in public is difficult for many people. And, while Kelly certainly has a handle on how to do it, I don’t believe it’s right to hold

Homework for You /// We Back Monday
The past two weeks ended up being a perfect storm of extracurricular conflicts for the Baba Team, making our posting fanciness a little shy on the sum (What the fuck does that mean?) Don’t fret, champions. We are back on

Kelly Morris is a Shaman /// Apparently the World Really Did End in 2012
Someone tipped me off to this @kellymorrisyoga Twitter page the other day, but I had to check it out for myself. Apparently, it is true…. Kelly Morris is an official self-proclaimed “shaman.” Now, I know Kelly has been throwing around

Let’s Play Role Reversal! /// Now You’re the One in Need /// Also, Some Countries Make Ads That Talk About Real Stuff
Racism. Privilege. Teaching yoga in Africa because you’re afraid of your black neighbors. All pretty “safe” talking points, right? Good lord! Sometimes the week just has a mind of its own. Anyway, sticking with our unofficial theme for this week,

Helping is Fine /// But Maybe It’s an Outdated Term Signifying a Subtle Egoism
Yesterday a commenter responded to our critique of “saving Africa with yoga” with a simple, and presumably snarky, question: Who did you help today? [emphasis added]. Luckily for me, the question happened to be asked on a day when I

Lets, for shits and gigglies, apply to yesterday’s post this delicious quote from late French postmodern theorist, Jean Baudrillard. (You know, the guy who wrote The Gulf War Did Not Take Place): “[The media] are what finally forbids response, what

Thinking About Branding /// Presence vs Absence /// Yogilebrities as Valueless Links in Value Chains
