Celebrating Wins

This is a little different from my usual posting, but I thought my occasional blog was a good place to acknowledge the Globe & Mail’s acceptance of my submission to their daily Facts & Arguments page. And yes, perhaps I’m gloating a little. It feels pretty cool to command the better part of a full page in a national newspaper, even if just for a day.

“I’m a Guy and I Practise Yoga” (their title, not mine) is a rumination on a big part of my life outside of work and family. I hesitated before writing the word “part” just now as I wasn’t sure how to describe my almost-daily asana practice. It’s physical exercise to be sure, but it goes beyond that.

It’s an opportunity to reflect, to get introspective, to quiet the mind. The benefits are as mental as they are physical. It adds huge benefit to my personal life and professional relationships, as I know it does for my wife Tanya Geisler and her coaching practice. 

If you happen across this post, I invite you to check out the essay. And if you’re a guy who’s curious about yoga and want to ask any questions from someone who’s been at it for a few years, drop me a line. If nothing else I can refer you to some great resources, like this cool yoga blog or this amazing teacher.

Namaste!
