Looking didn’t work so I have been trying not looking for years. Not looking doesn’t work either. I don’t know what does. I’m not unattractive, have bad habits, or particularly abrasive. I’m leaving it to fate.

I began by watching and following the podcast, Yogamazing. Chaz offers a nice combination of physical poses combined with a mild spiritual outlook. He might be more spiritual than in the casts. I don’t know. I do know that his descriptions, instructions, and videos are really good. He makes it easy to understand and practice the poses.

After following the podcast for about 18 months I went to a local yoga studio to get feedback from a live instructor. He complimented my on my poses and offered good feedback. I also took a workshop at a local church. It’s definitely useful to have a teacher check your poses.

About a year ago I began visiting Yogaville where I learned about the spiritual path of Yoga and how Hatha (the poses – the physical side of yoga) fits. Yogaville is a center of Integral Yoga, which combines all the yogic paths together. It’s also a great retreat center with excellent organic vegetarian meals.

I am not a yoga master. I do feel I have a grasp of the basics and I have a daily practice.

The Createspace deadline really helped. I have finished editing and have published the novel. I’m starting a seventh novel now during NaNoWriMo. You have to really like writing to write novels. I mean like, really. It’s a lot of work, you don’t get paid much, so liking it helps a lot. So far, I haven’t got paid at all.
