Yoga Posture Clinic

Last Sunday, I spent 8 hours in a hot room [I mean really hot-like 105 degrees of hot] studying Bikram yoga postures with Diane Ducharme of West Roxbury, MA.  Diane was amazing!  Her energy is other worldly, matched only by her ability to move her body.

We all learned to move our bodies in new and unusual ways. Case in point, as Diane helps a student move thru a 360 degree forward bend.

By pulling on our heels, tightening up our quad muscles, we are able to pull ourselves into what amazingly feels good.  No really, trust me on this.  If you’ve never stretched like this, you should try it sometime. This bending motion stretches the legs, hamstrings, lower back and upper back….all while working out the biceps.

Which is good, considering that is what we came to do.  After the 6+ hour clinic, we did our usual 1.5 hour practice.  That last 1.5 hours flew by like nothing I have ever felt before.  Quite amazing!  Now, where is the Advil?

Rocky Neck State Park

Beach UmbrellasFinally got to the beach over the weekend.  Traveling south then slightly east for about 1 hour and 40 minutes to Rocky Neck State Park, in Lyme, CT.

What a lovely spot, looking out into the Long Island Sound.  The water was clear and the beach a nice sandy white.

I highly recommend this area for either a day on the beach or to go camping.  While we pretty much parked ourselves directly on the beach, hiking and camping were very nearby as well as an estuary and marsh lands.

Now, I just need to finish that book I was reading beach side, before summer is over…..

The Gig Economy

Richard Greenwald says we are now, “living at the dawn of the freelance world, as more and more people find themselves working as consultants, contract workers or freelancers. This change in the way we work is as profound as the shift that occurred during the Industrial Revolution.”

Having been an on and off freelancer, since 1985….I of course, side with the freelancers and have to say….this is not just the dawn of the freelancers….it IS the Dawning of the Age of the Freelancers.
