otherness & self


Last week, Julia, a student who seldom misses class (maybe twice this semester?) gave the best excuse I’ve ever heard for not coming to yoga. “I was at Ted Talks.” Excellent. Okay.

I often listen to Ted while I’m cleaning. Last weekend I heard this talk about self and otherness by Thandie Newton, and I want you to watch. It’s at heart very yogic. It also expresses the power of sharing one’s vulnerability, and the strength required to do so.

Next time, the yoga-for-sweet-dreams post. I promise.

    I just learned about Ted talks a few weeks ago in a class. I’ve been meaning to listen to some on my own since I enjoyed them so much – thanks for reminding me.

    Pleasure is mine, Miss J. You can become a fan on the a- -book and their posts will scroll along your feed, reminding you frequently. Almost as inspiring as the IT Crowd, I dare say. xo
