Andy Williams' Love Story (Where Do I Begin?)

LOVE STORY (WHERE DO I BEGIN?)
Andy Williams

Music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman.

Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start?

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand
It's always there

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away

And she'll be there

My great anatomy teacher, Leslie Kaminoff: “Asanas Don’t Have Alignment”.

Leslie Kaminoff: “Asanas Don’t Have Alignment”

---

BY MEAGAN MCCRARY  |  APR 23, 2015

Leslie Kaminoff claims you should never say never about a yoga pose and that the key to safely teaching asana is actually shifting the focus to svadyaya.

Last time, we talked to anatomy expert and YJ LIVE! presenter Leslie Kaminoff (Can Wild Thing Ever Be Practiced Safely?), he asserted that asanas don’t exist separate from the individuals doing them. This time around, he makes another bold claim: “Asanas don’t have alignment, people have alignment.”

The Claim: Yoga Poses Don’t Have Alignment

Come again? This contradicts most of what most yoga teachers are taught in training—to look at the alignment of asanas intrinsically, breaking down each posture and then asking students (as a class) to build the pose from the foundation up. In other words, Warrior I has this alignment, Warrior II has that alignment, and so on and so forth through the entire syllabus of yoga poses. Kaminoff is attempting to change the conversation, though, by asking us to reimagine alignment as entirely based on the individual performing the pose. That is, “never say never” when teaching asana.

Never Say Never When Teaching Asana

According to Kaminoff, context is key. “Never” and “always” decontextualize any statement that follows. There are times when certain alignment cues apply for certain bodies in certain poses and other times when they don’t. There is no universally correct alignment—there is only correct alignment for an individual in a specific asana.

Kaminoff studied under T.K.V. Desikachar, son of Sri T. Krishnamacharya and author of The Heart of Yoga, who dedicated the majority of his life to teaching a highly individualized method of yoga, adapting the asanas, practice, and tools of yoga to the individual’s changing needs. “If I got nothing else from my studies with Desikachar, it’s the necessity to respect the individual in this process because the individual is the ultimate context of this yoga practice,” says Kaminoff, who doesn’t teach standardized asana to groups, but instead espouses a non-standardized, adaptable breath-centered approach to yoga.

Tailoring Group Classes to Meet Individual Students’ Needs

Since public group classes aren’t going anywhere any time soon, there has to be a middle ground between teaching the broad-stroke “safe” alignment cues and tailoring instruction to individual students’ needs.  As an alignment-based teacher, I struggle with this in my classes. Having hypermobility in just about every joint of my body, myself, I learned the hard way that many of the alignment cues, aimed at the majority of the population who have flattened lumbar curves and tight shoulders, weren’t necessarily meant for me. To manage my super-flexible students, I often feel like I need to be giving two completely different sets of instructions throughout class. Sometimes it can be a lot to take on. In the end, as teachers, we do our best.

Shift the Focus

“Yoga is not about doing the asanas—it’s about un-doing what’s in the way of the asanas,” Kaminoff likes to say. “In order for asana practice to truly be a yoga practice it has to be done in the context of understanding that we’re challenging our patterns while invoking svadhyaya, or self-reflection.” That is, rather than the end goal, it’s the process we’re after. All of the benefit and the greatest potential for change lies in the trying to both learn something about ourselves and to do something we couldn’t previously do.

Three Ways to Encourage Svadyaya in Your Students

1. Create context for the physical practice, offering a theme, an intention or an attitudinal direction that that allows space for self-inquiry and contemplation.
2. Probe your students to ask themselves questions, whether it relates to the physical experience of an asana (such as how can I create more freedom in this area of my body?) or to an internal experience that’s taking place (such as where does my mind go when I’m offered a moment of stillness? What track does it usually fall into?).
3. When it comes to alignment of the poses, I like to remind my students to not take my word for it so-to-speak. I often ask them to try it my way, then try it their way, or whatever way a different teacher has asked them to do it—and then decide for themselves what makes sense to them and in their bodies.

“The media decides when you’re no longer believably f**kable”: Amy Schumer tears into industry sexism

She enlists the help of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey and Patricia Arquette to drive the point home

COLIN GORENSTEIN

The Season 3 premiere of Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer” was full ofmethodically precise sketches that tackled hot button cultural issues. Perhaps most memorable of the bunch: “Last F**kable Day,” the star-studded sketch featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey and Patricia Arquette that shames the media for its perpetuation of industry sexism. While on a jog, Schumer stumbles upon the gang having a picnic in the forest and quickly learns that they’ve convened to celebrate Louis-Dreyfus’ “last fuckable day.” That is, the day the media decides you are no longer “believably fuckable.” They take Schumer — “that girl from the television who talks about her pussy all the time” — under their wing and prepare her for the cruel world of middle-aged acting as a female: Disney stars replace you in the sequel to your Oscar-winning film and you only get signed on to movies with “uplifting yet vague” titles like “Whatever it Takes” or “She Means Well.” Then, you’re pushed off to sea … so you can go home and do laundry.

We will change this.

The following are quotes by Juliu Horvath regarding Gyrotonic Expansion System movement qualities:[1]

“The octopus, the monkey and the cat are my basic models because they can move in any direction at any given time with strength and control because they have no restrictions. The human body has restrictions, but I can model the body ─ within the framework of its restrictions ─ to move in a similar way, to be free,”

“I want music in my body and poetry in my body, and I want to be skillful without struggle; it has to come without struggle.”

“I discovered Kundalini energy through my pain and agony, and somehow that awakened me. Being awakened energetically means that you can read the movement when it is not a movement yet. You are like a little child who is totally unconscious and not prepared to make movement happen. Children move because something moves them from within.”

Insanity

I couldn't help but taking a picture of this insanity. The message the ad spreads it's just wrong, and it saddens me that so many people, women and men, young and less young, buy it. I say a big, fat NO.

Embrace your body, and work in harmony to be at the best you can. Be healthy, eat and drink well, move a ton, have fun, make love. LOVE.

E ti vengo a cercare - Franco Battiato_ L'imboscata tour

E ti vengo a cercare

 

E ti vengo a cercareanche solo per vederti o parlare

perché ho bisogno della tua presenza

per capire meglio la mia essenza.

Questo sentimento popolare

nasce da meccaniche divine

un rapimento mistico e sensuale

mi imprigiona a te.

Dovrei cambiare l'oggetto dei miei desideri

non accontentarmi di piccole gioie quotidiane

fare come un eremitache rinuncia a sé.

E ti vengo a cercarecon la scusa di doverti parlare

perché mi piace ciò che pensi e che dici

perché in te vedo le mie radici.

Questo secolo ormai alla fine

saturo di parassiti senza dignità

mi spinge solo ad essere migliore

con più volontà.Emanciparmi dall'incubo delle passioni

cercare l'Uno al di sopra del Bene e del Male

essere un'immagine divina

di questa realtà.

E ti vengo a cercare

perché sto bene con te

perché ho bisogno della tua presenza.

L'oceano di silenzio_Franco Battiato

L’oceano di silenzio

Un Oceano di Silenzio scorre lento
senza centro né principio
cosa avrei visto del mondo
senza questa luce che illumina
i miei pensieri neri. 

(Der Schmerz, der Stillstand des Lebens 
Lassen die Zeit zu lang erscheinen)

Quanta pace trova l'anima dentro
scorre lento il tempo di altre leggi
di un'altra dimensione
e scendo dentro un Oceano di Silenzio
sempre in calma.
(Und mir scheint fast
Dass eine dunkle Erinnerung mir sagt
Ich hatte in fernen Zeiten
Dort oben oder in Wasser gelebt)
