so you wanna be in an ebook? an offer from curvy yoga’s anna guest-jelley

Intro

Opps, Again

this is the second time i’ve let a post go out before putting in my finished post

so for those who came to a template, or the removed-from-view page, my sincere apologies

not that i don’t have lots and lots of excuses, and even some explanations! but none are life threatening nor permanently disrupting, so, i’ll get back to the intended post

Curvy Yoga Intro

i came across anna’s call for articles for a new ebook a few weeks ago, and the deadline is now approaching : february 14th, valentines, and my wife’s birthday!

so even the deadline-details practically demand i share this info

anna guest-jelley has the well-regarded site, curvyyoga, and has been posting relevant important posts on yoga, self-image, and gentle self-acceptance for a good while

Curvy Yoga Site

anna’s site says, the curvy yoga site is “for people who want to live the lives they imagine, today. Who don’t want to wait until they’re flexible, skinny, have enough money, etc. to start treating themselves well…”

her site includes an impressive and welcome list of resources, such as video, podcasts, and written instructions for poses, including information on modifications

also included on her resource page, is a list of teachers for curvy bodies

so what does a curvy yoga look like?

take a look -

impressive huh?

afaa, in the studies my valentine-wife-baby and i both did, brought us issues to be aware of that sound simple enough, but that without pausing, i had just not thought of

a large mass is slower to get going, and gathers more power and speed once in motion, and therefore, needs awareness and caution regarding range of motion and in coming to rest or reversing directions

there are modifications available for movements that allow a more comfortable and productive reaching and lunging and bending

many of these modifications are also valid for almost anyone who is not in top shape, hasn’t warmed up properly, isn’t limber, has had an injury or illness, is elderly, or simply de-conditioned – i know i’ve been the latter more times than i wanna be again

and beyond the physical, there is of course so much more -

anna’s site addresses these also…

***

The Invitation from Curvy Yoga

from anna’s site :

AN INVITATION

So here’s my proposal, and I really (really, really!) hope you’re in: I’m going to curate a book of curvy yogi stories from around the world, and I want you to be part of it! I will accept submissions for six weeks and then will put it together in a beautiful, downloadable, free(!) eBook to share far and wide.

there’s much more details on her page about the new ebook, and a way to contact curvy yoga if you have more questions

so, if you’ve been wanting to get in on the ebook revolution, have something to say (who doesn’t ), need to share, and wanna stay in the loop for a free ebook, you gotta consider this

as mentioned before, the deadline is valentines!

***

Great Sample Article on Curvy Yoga Site

i should add that one of my favorite meaningful articles about yoga, is from anna’s site, from last summer, “Shame-Free Yoga: Yoga for Your Body“

i still think about this article, and part of anna’s response to my own comment at the time, the “inclusiveness” of the article

the issues that affect a curvy person are similar to that affecting anyone wanting to regain their health and self-esteem

yes, there are differences, distinctions, things that won’t apply -

yet the similarities, i believe, are worth being aware of…

***

Conclusion

even from way back, as i would struggle from being fairly fit, to falling off the health-wagon, to working my way back again, sometimes with more mental and emotional weight than physical weight, i couldn’t understand why some people made fun of those who were actually out on the track or jogging trail, and now-a-days on the mat, trying

“most” of why, it seems, is lack of understanding -

this call for contributions for people to submit to what will be a free downloadable ebook, is a chance to not only share, but fill in and replace some of the normal mis-understanding and fear we all sometimes have, towards others, and ourselves…

***

Nice Thing ‘Bout Getting Old(er)

“nice thing ’bout getting old(er)” is a free ebook, of over a dozen postings from my blog here, organized into information i’ve been learning about aging, fitness, yoga, and creativity…

it’s meant to be referred to, and read here and there, nibbled at -

although the poems can be read straight through

***

Final Thoughts

Adan Lerma

awareness, my favorite gift from yoga so far, has been the key for me

and remembering, it really is a process

namaste´ – con dios – god be with you

YOGA-ADAN PRESS RELEASES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 25, 2012, Burlington, Vermont

Awareness – Gratitude – Inspiration

in Every Day Living

Adan Lerma has authored a series of ebooks using three related titles. Each title expresses part of a process expressing what we experience in our every day life.

A Month of Mornings Vol 1 The first series, “A Month of Mornings” conveys the awareness of waking each day, to the repeating and new events in daily life, and celebrating that. A cup of coffee. Heat in winter. Getting achy or sore, fit or raring to get started, day-to-day, each day.

Expressing his own amazement, Adan says, “It’s incredible how much we are aware of each day we wake. And how much more we become aware of, as we pay attention to those moments so early in our day.”

Adan says this series began as an experiment, to see what he would experience when he paid attention to just simply waking, each day. ”The experiment continues each day, each morning,” adds Adan.

Everyday Gratitude Vol 1 Then, initially also meant as an experiment, and day-to-day companion, Adan began seeing if he could find a gratitude, one each day, no matter how simple or basic. From this Adan’s second ebook series grew and became “Everyday Gratitude.”

“My whole experiment worked out in ways I hadn’t expected. My morning awareness exercise supported and enhanced discovering, sometimes just accepting, those same small style of every day things that can mean so much,” explained Adan.

Each of these two series are projected to have a new volume available approximately every four to six weeks. Also each series will maintain its own distinctive same cover page, with only the volume number changed. The covers are both designed by Adan using his own original photography and art.

Everyday Inspirations - PhotoPoems Vol 1 About a month into the creation of these two series, Adan says it dawned on him that he could combine two of his creative loves, verse and imagery.

“‘Everyday Inspiration – PhotoPoems’ is literally the result of my other two creative works. One emphasizes awareness, the other gratitude, and the result is often inspiration,” says Adan.

In this third series of ebooks, Adan presents ten original photographs he has taken in his wife’s home state of Vermont, joined with an original poem for each image.

Each photograph is of an every day scene by or near Adan’s home. As with his photos in his first photography ebook “Photography Plus, a Beginner’s View” the images are what Adan considers non-professional, yet, combined with a matching verse, expresses a simple day-to-day inspiration.

In this third series, Adan will offer a different cover for each release.

All available titles are updated frequently on Yoga-Adan’s My eBooks Page. An rss feed is available, as is a newsletter.

In addition, Adan’s Amazon Author’s Page provides information on other titles at Amazon Books.

More information about Adan, including his studies and degrees, can be found on his website’s About page.

A history of Adan’s writings since the 70s is chronicled on his website.

Summary

Adan Lerma has authored a series of ebooks using three related titles. Each title expresses part of a process expressing what we experience in our every day life. From awareness in “A Month of Mornings” to “Everyday Gratitudes” through “Everyday Inspirations” in photo-poems, Adan presents the simple yet inspiring of the every day of daily life.

Yoga Injuries – An Article Recap Pointer, via YogaDork

***

Intro

Pros & Cons

i won’t rehash all the various pros and cons of : what kinds of injuries can happen during yoga, why they might happen, when they might happen, if being injured during yoga means it is or isn’t yoga

but i will say i’m really glad people are talking and debating and thinking about it

i’ve had friends and students from texas to vermont, ok, well, from texas and vermont contact me or tell me they’ve been “in discussion” with their teacher or class about injuries during yoga

so i think that’s great!

The Article

what this article is for, is to point the reader to the best most comprehensive article listing i’ve come across so far

i’ve read “some” of these, and know “some” of the folk involved, digitally anyways

so yogadork in nyc does a pretty good online job of poking fun of yoga yet providing pretty dependable information to chew on

her article, appropriately named, after a series of like articles from her helped stir the pot the ny times lit a fire under (meaning this issue was always here, just needed heating up), is :

“Complete and Exhaustive Guide: Yoga Community Responds to NYT ‘How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body’”

from this article you can reach a very very wide gamut of opinions and thoughts

folk i’m familiar with and can recommend from my perspective, include jill miller and nancy alder

sites i’m familiar with i’d trust to listen to with an open ear include yoga journal, the kripalu center, recovering yogi, and yoga tune up (the latter also run by jill miller)

***

Listening to Yourself for Guidance

Intro

easily the best and most reachable thing for any one of us to do regarding what to do or not do during yoga to prevent injuries and maximize our experience

ok, now, have said that…

i’m gonna say the following, with it meant mostly for seniors like myself, but also anyone of any age who finds things in what i’ll say that appeals to them – not “too” unlikely, we oldsters were youngsters once

The Problem With “Listening” to Ourselves

i know that i have “listened” to the wisdom in my body many a time in the past, and got hurt

I know that many people my age have the same lingering doubt about fully trusting themselves, i hear it often in class, over coffee, at the check-out line :

“i figured i could do blah-blah-blah, but i guess (hahaha) i really couldn’t (oohhh, that hurts)”

fully trusting the wisdom in our bodies presumes we know what and how to hear what’s being said, and translate it properly through over half a dozen decades of mis-steps, warnings from others, injuries, and just plain natural accidents

we know we don’t know what condition our condition is in, to paraphrase an old song from “the day” -

how strong or what weak points our spine has -

which joints have lost more mass than we’d realized -

how our muscles has slowed their response time -

how knowing we know more and yet don’t know enough means we’re gonna take longer making decisions which might mean not moving that mis-aligned knee back in place quick enough

there’s some of the above i didn’t even know i needed to know before i got my fitness certifications

Learning What to Listen For

so i’m not saying not to listen to oneself, one’s personal wisdom, the wisdom nature has ingrained in each of our bodies, or, that it’s not possible to have that kind of wisdom available to us

it is, it’s there, we do have it in us, from birth and before

i truly believe that

but it’s not a turnkey listening experience

we get a lot of static and variant messages as we grow up, as we raise our children, as we continue to age

the trick is to learn what to listen for

and for me, if i’m gonna listen to my body, i need more information about my body

how does it talk to me? when is it serious and when is it playing with me, teasing me to see if i’ve got some gumption?

how do i do this without breaking the message machine, my body?

the trick then becomes how to learn to know what to listen for

folks, things like the article above from yoga-dork, with avenues of offered wisdom, is one route

finding teachers that’ll answer questions in a way you trust that your experience then validates as right for you

doing your own research: reading, dvds, classes – there’s tons of stuff

i’ll tell you right now, i’m not a real dumb person, and i’m interested in my health, and like the idea of developing myself into a better person (that’s the spiritual part ) – and it’s been a tough go

i’m fortunate i have a wife who’s also interested in all this (actually she got me started on learning more through fitness workshops etc)

you can do it alone, but you don’t have to…

Nice Thing ‘Bout Getting Old(er)

this is an ebook i put together organizing some of the article i’ve written on this site about fitness, yoga, aging, and creativity

it’s meant to be a nibble-at-it, reference, enjoy-the-poems collection that hopefully leads you to other learnings, your own things to learn, about you

there’s no affiliate links in it, i won’t know you got it unless you tell me, and i don’t offer it on my website

***

Final Thoughts

Adan Lerma

i’m enjoying doing fitness and yoga classes with my wife, mostly for seniors -

but also for most anyone who’s de-conditioned, i know what that’s like

and we’ve surprised a few fairly fit classes we subbed at with what we brought to their fitness class they hadn’t expected, especially in terms of awareness and fitness information

i’m also enjoying doing my photography, and writing my poetry

find what you like to do to be and stay more fit

discover things you like to do

and you’ll be a long way toward listening to your own wisdom, from your body and your soul

namaste´ – con dios – god be with you

Do Older People Decide Things More Slowly?

Pictured, “Nice Thing ‘Bout Getting Old(er)”

“a beginner’s view : the intent of this blog is to incrementally build a body of thought that works toward integrating various topics, yoga, fitness, and the arts – it’s a process…”

Site Areas

Fitness ** Arts ** eBooks

do older people decide things more slowly?

***

Intro

i came across this article, “Who are you calling slow? 70-year-olds can be trained to make accurate decisions as quickly as younger generations” -

and thought, this is another piece of a growing puzzle-image that says, aging doesn’t have to be as bad as most of us have been taught it has to be…

yes, we are aging -

from the moment we’re born -

though, of course, the growth curve when we’re young, certainly out-weighs most sense of aging, at least in the typical sense

but i think, that’s part of my point, in so many of my articles and posts and free ebook, aging is simply the natural process of changing, almost morphing, into maturation

***

“Who are you calling slow? 70-year-olds can be trained to make accurate decisions as quickly as younger generations”

Slow Deciding Not Inherent

the basic premise in the article, i believe, is, older folk are not necessarily slower in making decisions, but have learned to weigh more variable before making a decision…

makes sense

the article also says, “They [ seniors ] can have reactions as fast as 25-year-olds, a study reveals”

this, then, is a great article pointing out an extremely important piece of information, not only for people already seniors, but anyone planning on aging

Fear of Making a Mistake

embedded in this idea, of weigh the variables in a decision more deliberately, i think, is also a learned fear of making a mistake, especially a big mistake

a harmful mistake -

experience does teach us many things, usually

so, it seems, on my part, that this caution, and weighing of factors to make a decision, may be warranted at times…

Caution

but what is interesting is, because this well-honored caution may be being applied “too” broadly in our daily activities, we older folk may be taking longer than we “need” to decide “some” things

so, while it is wonderful, and terribly important, to realize, recognize, and accept, that we, as seniors, can and must make some decisions more quickly -

i do believe the factor not mentioned or addressed in the article is: some things maybe should be given more time and attention before deciding

Deciding Too Quickly Isn’t Always a Virtue

there are many instances where quick action, quick decisions, are not only useful, but also practical – some vital and some mundane : helping someone in dire need, or what type of drink to have with lunch -

yet, the notion, that some things should be given the time needed to be decided, but not given, is not addressed in the article -

and in all fairness, isn’t addressed, in most discussions about slow decision-making, especially by us seniors ourselves

what about being honked by the car behind us when the light is red, we can turn right, but we’re making sure another car isn’t turning in our path? -

and we know that happens once a day at least! we start to go out into the intersection, and someone darts out and crosses the path we would’ve taken…

what about being pushed by someone behind us in the grocery store when we’re looking for an item, and the person behind us thinks they know where they are heading and also thinks we’re going too slow down the aisle?

and why is it the judgement of what is too fast or too slow, is usually against the person whose speed is different from one’s own?

and going back to the quick decision about what drink to have at lunch, what about the initial rushing itself, to gobble up food that’s convenient, and quick, but not good for us?

i certainly recall making some decisions rather quickly when i was younger (even last week!) that cost me…

and maybe there’s an embedded-ness in our culture, where we are subconsciously mimicking machines and technology that are really pre-set to operate at full speed and efficiency, without thinking, and shouldn’t even be emulated by the decision-making process?

Balance

ultimately, i believe, a balance, and a juggling of judgment calls about what needs hurrying, and what doesn’t, is what’s needed, by all of us, young and old(er)

what this article, and the study it refers to does do though, is help remove the idea, especially among older people themselves, people like me, that my decisions will necessarily be slower now, as a factor of simply being physically older

that’s extremely encouraging to me

***

Nice Thing ‘Bout Getting Old(er)

“nice thing ’bout getting old(er)” is an ebook, of over a dozen postings from my blog here, organized into information i’ve been learning about aging, fitness, yoga, and creativity…

***

Final Thoughts

Adan Lerma

keeping active is one of the best ways to keep oneself happy and fit

my activity of choice is yoga, but i also jazzercise with my wife, write poetry, do photography, and paint

i would only encourage you to explore and find those things that are fun for you

dVersePoet Prompt : OpenLinkNight – Week 25, Did Someone Mention Charles Bukowski?

if the words endure, they do so because they link the links -

***

Intro, Charles Bukowski, and Me

the guys and gals over at dversepoets have these open mike invitations, where one can create poems to particular prompts or themes

i’ve tried my hand with a few and like their essay-prefaced prompt calls

this particular invite is an open link night, so anything goes (i think)

brian, who helps run (runs?) the site, wrote the post-new-year new year’s post, and included a quote from charles bukowski

so i took my cue from that inclusion and did my best hispanic-american young-senior mostly-mild-life impression of who, if you’ve read anything of bukowski’s, was probably closer to what my initial immigrant ancestors’ lives were like, rough ready persistent and, eventually, would’ve been eminently readable

and for those who do know charles bukowski’s readings, no this is nowhere near, close to, or pretending-ly as “authentic-rough” as he was

this is just me playing him on the internet -

on a blog

brian leaves a much better “taste” of bukowski on his site with his poem

enjoy!

***

Homage to Charles Bukowski

On the Third Day of a New Year

I sat on the glass

of opportunity

til it cracked.

I didn’t want

a glass of it

to spill & stain

my chest.

I don’t want to

sip & think fine

thoughts.

I wanna

guzzle the mouth of

steins set like barrels.

Those aren’t opportunities.

That’s life.

Now buy me a drink.

***

Yoga

so much emphasis in yoga is on oneness, i sometimes forget that inclusiveness must not only recognize variety and diversity, but celebrate it

though, in all honesty, i only forget, i feel, for moments

the teeming-ness of life in our what-seems so homogenous increasingly-global lives, is an easy reminder…

try getting all your friends or family, or your social-media circle of friends to “really” agree on something, you’ll see what i mean (as if you don’t know this already!)

diversity, i believe, in our oneness, is part of what drove charles bukowski

he couldn’t live otherwise than how he was -

yet, it seems to me, he not so much wanted “in” - as felt he already was in -

and why didn’t other people see that

that’s the way i think we are today in our world today -

we’re already one, but don’t always believe it…

Final Thoughts

happy new new-year’s day-3 everyone!

soon we’ll be one week in, and no going back

namaste´- con dios – god be with you

Intro

happy new year everyone!

the idea of the poems is, yes, new years is a new beginning, but also has continuity

there seemed, all of a sudden, so many ways i could express this, but they each led to differing modes of image-expression and line-usage, and i had to make a choice

kinda like at new years

here’s wishing all the best to all of us!

***

New Beginnings – Bookmarks in a Larger Book

love

no retries or second guessing

it’s a new year’s new day

even in

mid sentence mid

kiss

mid breathe

it’s new

we’ve made it official

i’ve begun anew

officially

i can love that

Joe Konrath, Resolutions for Writers 2006-2012

whether you’re interested in writing, or the sudden evolution into ebooks with ereaders the last few years, this is fascinating reading from a writer’s writer

“Every December I do a post about resolutions for writers, and every year I add more of them” begins this years new years resolution post from joe konrath

joe is a self-described genre fiction writer

the resolutions posted, from 2006 through the newest one for 2012, are as enthralling as a work of fiction, yet totally true “and” provide a blow-by-blow historical account of the changes in the publishing industry, from a writer’s pov

dVersepoets New Year’s Post, “Poetics – Endings & EBeginnings”

thought i should be used to it by now, i continue to be amazed at the quality of essay prefacing the prompt for a particular theme created by a working poet from dversepoets

from the essay, by Mark Kerstetter

“Do you, at the end of the year, think about the past or the future?…Perhaps…the present moment is all that we ever have, and it is the poet’s province to memorialize this place: always here, and always unique…we walk forward with eyes in the backs of our heads….”

included in the essay is a beauty of a photo, a poem from conrad aiken, and a youtube audio with the vinyl cover of a young sinatra (as if frank was ever old )

Yoga

so many times i forget, that all my turns and twists and new beginnings, no matter how disparate, end up linked chapters in the larger book that’s my life

everything i’ve done colors everything i think and feel, the mix and mixes mixing like air currents finding where their boundaries dissolve and blend merging into something new, for another while

i find that kinda comforting, though i thought, when first thinking this, i wouldn’t

that i’d resent the losing of the moment remembered -

my moments are still moments, i realize, they just keep connecting to other moments, making up the larger moment that’s the living of my life

i wonder, if that’s, sorta at least, how my one life, becomes one…

Final Thoughts

happy new years everyone

namaste´- con dios – god be with you
