Can Massage Therapy Deepen Your Practice?

March 14, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

photo credit: Average Jane As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I suffer from a bad knee injury, sustained about eight years ago in basic training. So, one doesn’t get away with limping for eight years without some seriously negative side effects. I’m now experiencing tons of lower back pain on top of some major troubles […]

March 7, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

30 Day Yoga Challenge!

Recently, I was speaking to a photographer friend of mine, Jessica Dozois, who runs her business out of Chilliwack, BC, about an hour outside of Vancouver. Jessica is a single mom who works hard to both live her dream of being a photographer, but also to look after and provide for her adorable son Max. […]

Are You the “Retreat” Type?

February 23, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

photo credit: bquad After the success of “Eat, Pray, Love,” I read an article that stated that female attendance at yoga retreats increased by approximately forty per cent after the release of the movie. I couldn’t help but wonder if these women were indeed looking for enlightenment through enhancing their yoga practice, or if they […]

How Far Is Too Far?

February 16, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

  My Dad, who I love to absolute bits, is a very interesting man, full of complexities and stories to tell. But as I mentioned in another post, he really isn’t someone I would picture being inclined towards the practice of yoga. He’s a bit gruff. He doesn’t like “touchy-feely stuff.” He’s the kind of […]

Who Are You, Really?

Who Are You, Really?

Recently, I’ve been doing a complete overhaul of my apartment, sorting my things and getting rid of items that are just clogging up my space. And then I decided to attempt to sort my years of photos, all stashed in boxes and albums. Eventually, I came across this photo of me from about five years […]

When your body SCREAMS “no!”

February 2, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

When your body SCREAMS “no!”

  It would be an understatement to say that I’m no stranger to illness. Both myself and the rest of my family has struggled with serious illnesses that have impacted our lives in inexplicable ways. I’ll also admit to being someone who occasionally allows disease to drag me down, depress me and all around get […]

Does your yoga world need some organization?

January 25, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Google the word “yoga” and a million different sites will pop up for your perusal. In fact, it quickly becomes difficult to discern the credible from the crazy, and you could easily waste hours of your time trying to to research one small detail of your practice. As a former military logistics officer, whose job […]

Do you have a “dark passenger”?

January 19, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

photo credit: luckylynda74 Okay, so between yoga classes, I’ll admit to a serious obsession with the TV show Dexter, in which Michael C. Hall plays a serial killer with a quasi-conscience, who aims his aggression at other serial killers. The reason I find this intriguing is that his affectionate term for his need to kill […]

Sometimes, your heart just isn’t in it

Sometimes, your heart just isn’t in it

Tonight is my last night home in Ontario, after almost a month here with my family, before heading back to British Columbia. And for some reason, right before leaving home, I always get a little wistful and emotional, as I am very close with my family and hate having to leave them behind. And quickly, […]
