NEW BLOG ADDRESS: CYNDISPHERE.COM
My blog has had a makeover and moved to a new address. You can still read all my old posts from the last 12 months at this site. I’m back in Japan and I started this blog a year ago right after I returned from Japan.
But now I’m writing on cyndisphere.com. That blog will be my travel and friends and OMmies blog and then I am also starting a...

HOLIDAY READING
A couple months ago I promised you a summer reading list from the OM yoga teacher training faculty. Joe, Margi and Sarah came forward with some good suggestions and I bolded the ones that I’ve read and also loved. All these would be great for you to take with you on your Labor Day weekend. If you are not going out of town, check out the special class schedule at OM yoga and also all the...
OM yoga in Costa Rica
We just posted the page that tells all about our retreat in Costa Rica next February. In just a couple of hours we already made several reservations so I think this is going to sell out fast. This is our first retreat in Costa Rica in many years and it is at a new retreat center on the beach in Nosara. I didn’t want to do another retreat there until we could find the exactly right place...
detox day 7
Feeling great. More space in my joints.
day 4 -- detox
Either the pollen count is insanely high and my kapalabhati practice has stopped working, or I’m detoxing. Yesterday and this morning have been total sneezing dribble fests but maybe that is a good thing. Sometimes you have to feel worse before you feel better. Anyway, I’ve been off soy, milk, cheese, sugar, yogurt, citrus, peanuts, beans, vinegar and all things fermented for 3.5...
soy vey
Speaking of Loudon Wainwright III, I’ve been singing one of his classic songs to myself today — the one that starts, “I went to the doctor, the doctor said Son, you look older than me and I’m 81…” Yes, I went to the doctor yesterday. I haven’t been feeling particularly good for….awhile…a few years….true confession almost since I started...
day in and day out
Do you find it challenging to do a regular yoga and/or meditation practice? Especially when you are on vacation? Or overloaded with work? Or…a million reasons? Along with a few other yoga teachers I was asked to talk about (in 50 words!) my personal challenges to daily practice and how I overcome the obstacles. To read this article go to:

My Yoga Mentor -- self adjustments
Remember when I was interviewed for a YJ piece about self-adjustments? It was for their on-line newsletter called My Yoga Mentor. Anyway, it’s out and I’m honored to be in such good company — Donna Farhi, Jason Crandell, Kim Valeri.

in between
This August the pose of the month at OM yoga is Dhanurasana and the “in-between.” When I wrote that I was thinking about August as a sort of in between time since it is hard core summer vacation time and yet it evolves into a melancholy end of summer and back to school vibe.
But then….I taught my yoga class at OM yoga last night after 3 weeks gone. What fun! There were so...

GREATNESS & IMPERMANENCE
The great Merce Cunningham died last night. He was one of the most influential artists of all time. His medium was Dance, or should I say Bodies or should I say People or should I say Chance or should I say Music-Non-Music or should I say Theater or should I say Space. Even though I haven’t danced since 1994, I feel the loss. My dharma sister, Christine Wright, who is a well-known NY...
