Motherhood: My Newest Yoga Teacher Learn About Yoga About Yoga

By Charlotte Singmin ? November 3rd, 2012 ? 632 Views

Since I began my love affair with yoga over a decade ago, I?ve been fortunate to study with many wonderful teachers in different countries, cities, and studios.? Each person and experience has played a role in shaping both the teacher, and the student that I am now.? But these days, my newest and most influential teacher is motherhood.?

Now more than ever, I am finding resonance in the yamas (yogic ethics), in particular ahimsa?(non-violence).? Ahimsa is easy to understand in concepts such as vegetarianism; choosing to eat a plant-based diet is kind to animals and the planet?s resources.? But becoming a mother has opened my eyes to a more subtle meaning of ahimsa; that of non-judgment.?

As a yoga teacher, I instruct my students to let go of judgment as they move more deeply into their poses, and into their practice.?? So often we focus on the outcome rather than the journey, on getting the forehead to the floor or our heels to the mat in an attempt to ?conquer? the pose.? Most of us have been guilty at one time or another of comparing ourselves to the yogi on the mat next to us, of trying to out-pigeon, or out-down-dog our neighbour.? Sometimes the hardest part of yoga is letting go of this competitive nature, so that we may practice with lovingkindness.

For many of us (but especially moms), the tendency towards self-judgment is strong, even off the mat.? It might begin in pregnancy as we eye other mothers on the street, sizing up their bellies, their baby weight, how tired or equally how energetic they look.? We make judgments and comparisons based on our assumptions, instead of allowing ourselves to be free of arbitrary expectations.

After baby comes, the whispers of judgment can become even stronger.? We might feel pressure to attain and maintain a certain standard of ?perfection?, both in the home and at work; to raise a perfect baby, to be a ?yummy? mummy, to keep a spotless house, to manage a successful career.? We are judging ourselves harshly and unnecessarily, when we regard anything less than this idea of perfection as failure.?

As a new mom I was consumed with the needs of my tiny baby; suddenly my time was no longer my own.? My beauty routine was pared down to a bare minimum--a shower and a swipe of lip-gloss if I...

Video: How to prepare for the next storm

>>> this morning on "today," the cleanup after hurricane sandy. you're facing a huge cleaning job, you may be wondering on how to get going on your recovery.

>> george oliphant can help.

>> folks want to get right to it. what are some of the things they can keep in mind?

>> safety first, always. you want to make sure you have a good set of rubber boots. maybe sure that you're wearing the proper masks. this is a mask just to make sure you put it on correctly, too. and a lot of times people will leave one of these dangling. you want to make sure you're protecting yourself from any of the bacterias or molds or mildews that are flying in the air. first and foremost, you want to protect yourself while you're doing the cleanup because you want to get in there, start ripping the dry wall out, getting the old furniture that's sopping wet out. because you don't want more mold and mildew and stuff growing in your home.

>> there's a little bit of concern before you jump in there and start ripping everything out, because you're waiting on the insurance, right? and it's going to take a while. so what do you need to do before you slap on your boots?

>> what i've been hearing from insurance companies is what we don't want it to get any worse. so definitely take a lot of pictures. document everything. make sure that whatever happened to your house, you have proof of. and then start getting your couches out. start ripping out the old dry wall that's sopping wet that's in your basements, maybe on your first floors depending on how bad you've been hit. curtains. anything that's going to soak up water, you want to get it out of your house, bag it up and get it thrown away.

>> food is a huge issue if you've lost power. you brought a cooler here. what's the best way to use a cooler to preserve your things?

>> basically, you want to make sure that you have ice in there, of course, and make sure that -- we put a thermometer in our cooler to make sure it was staying below 38 degrees. magic number .

>> 38 degrees, because we want to make sure feeding our kids -- eggs, milk, dairy, we want to make sure it's safe. the rule is after 24 hours , freezer 48 hours . once it's without power for that long, you want to get rid of it.

>> even if it feels cold. stuff in our fridge felt cold even 48 hours after.

>> i know there's the look test.

>> smell test. especially with the milk.

>> when in doubt, throw it out. but also, the taste test . if it tastes funny, spit it out. the last thing you want to add is sickness and food poisoning to everything else that's going on. i just said err on the side of caution.

>> as you're looking at what to do for next time, because we're hearing there could be another nor'easter coming our way. much of the country could see another storm later this year. what are some things we should stock up on?

>> it sounds silly, and i know a lot of people after the storms last year were like i'm going to get a generator, and all of a sudden comes sandy and they're like i never got a generator. i know they're a thousand dollars, $3,000, you don't need that. you can get away with a $200 generator, something that will keep your refrigerator going.

>> this will not run a whole house, though.

>> but you have to prioritize. what do i want to run? my refrigerator. or i might want to run my sub-pump. if i start getting water in my basement, i have a generator to start getting my sub pump going.

>> i want to charge my cell phone .

>> these are great for that. you can charge it up off another generator. and basically, you can charge your cell phones , your laptops. we use it to plug a nice lamp in.

>> our power came back last week. give me your cell phone .

>> i'll send it home with you.

>> but it's amazing. first and foremost, you don't want to have candles or kerosene lamps going around your house because of the fire dangers. this is an l.e.d. lamp. it's fantastic.

>> those batteries last forever. we have one we bought for irene that we didn't use. we're using it a lot now. three aa batteries , it's going nonstop.

>> have ever different size of battery you can. aas, aaas.

>> this is a rare commodity right now in the new york area. the d battery .

>> we could make a lot of money off that battery.

>> there's a line forming as we speak for those batteries.

>> as you're getting ready for hurricane and you're like oh, my gosh, my radio. it takes cs. take those steps, make sure you have the right battery so that when the power does go out, you have everything you need.

>> this is a big help. there will be other storms and people will lose power so thanks for this important advice.

>> and the last thing is have a ready bag with water, food, and a radio. so worst case scenario , you get flushed out of your house, off few things that help you last 72 hours .

>> thank you, george. good to see you.

Have a Question? Ask Kiku!

---

What this is: Well, it?s really just what the title says up there. I?ve been around the site for a couple of years, written for dozens of roleplays, GM-ed three of them (all of which were played to completion), and co-GM-ed for several more. So, I have a fair amount of experience, all of which I?m more than happy to share. I don?t, however, want to tell people things they already know, so I?m opening a thread up for questions.

What I?ll cover: Mostly anything. Site mechanics, writing tips, GM hints, worldbuilding, character creation and portrayals, and roleplay etiquette. Please note that I?m much more experienced with the forum and tabs than chat, so my answers to questions of that nature will be much more useful. If you ask something I don?t know, I?ll do my best to hunt down someone who does know it!

What I?m looking for: Let me make one thing clear: there are no stupid questions. This thread is to help me help you, and so even if you?re sure your query is the most basic thing in the world, don?t be afraid to ask it! Chances are, there are other people out there who don?t know the answer who might just be too shy to ask. That said, please do your best to make your questions clear, succinct, and specific. The more you can tell me about what you want to know, the more useful my answer will be to you.

I?ll take requests for critique: Really, I will. What I ask is that, if you?re going to ask me to critique a character or a world, please keep the selection to a reasonable length. Shorter chunks are going to get more intensive feedback- if I have to read a novel, I?m probably only going to be able to cover the most general of things in the critique if I want to keep it to a manageable size.

Before asking, you may want to read: There are a few great places that contain answers to frequently-asked questions. I?m going to link them here, so that you can make sure your question hasn?t already been answered.

Swing state stories: ?Old lady brigades? and exhaustion

Katie and Chloe Cavinder meet Mitt and Ann Romney in Ohio. (Courtney Cavinder)

As Election Day approaches, Yahoo News has asked voters in swing states to share what it's like being in the thick of things as President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney smother them with attention. This week, we look at Florida and Ohio, two states that are familiar with their "swing" status and that are seeing a lot of the political action in the homestretch of the campaign. In their own words and photos, voters shared their impressions. Here are some excerpts.

Living in Ohio, I feel very privileged to have had numerous opportunities to see the candidates.

In fact, we have met Mitt Romney three times. There are yard signs everywhere!?We live in a very conservative area and I have seen very few Obama signs. In our neighborhood I have seen two Obama signs and about 20 Romney-Ryan signs.

[Romney] came to a call center in Terrace Park, Ohio, last October when he was just beginning his candidacy.?I thought it was important to take the kids to see a presidential candidate. How often does that happen??He stopped to talk to our daughters, Chloe, 5, and Katie, 9.? He knelt down and was incredibly personable and engaged them in an adorable conversation.?He made a very good impression on us.

A few months later, he came back to Ohio to a company in Dayton. Our whole family went again, and once again he stopped to talk with Katie and Chloe.?A few weeks ago we were thrilled to hear that he was coming to our town, Lebanon.???In order to have the best seats to see Mitt, we arrived in downtown Lebanon at 10:30 a.m. and were the first people in line. When he arrived around 5:45 p.m. we had the best seats!

Living here in Ohio has afforded my kids the opportunity to see our whole political process in action. I hope that no matter whom they decide to vote for when they get older, they understand the process and the importance of becoming involved in the issues that affect our country.

?Courtney Cavinder, Lebanon, Ohio, in an email to Yahoo News

Darnell Kreuzer?s teenagers with their Obama signs in Florida (Darnell Kreuzer)

All three [of my teenagers] have participated in the Obama for America campaign via sign waving, door-knocking and envelope stuffing.

At first I was a little hesitant to have them participate, as people can be very ugly if they are not for your candidate. The first time the kids sign-waved, a middle-aged woman pulled up to them and said, "You suck!" They were shocked, but laughed. I told them to smile and say, "God Bless You!" They were also surprised at how many people gave them the middle finger.

On the flip side, they were also thrilled to have the majority of people beep, wave and yell "Yeah Obama!" As Election Day grows closer in Florida, the tension grows with it. ... We feel strongly about our mission, and we love our president and support him, with all our hearts. The fruits of our labors were rewarded when we [and other volunteers] received a live conference call from President Obama.

[This week we went to] an early voting poll sign waving because we received a call--some of our signs had been de-faced. Even though we were exhausted from getting up early [to go to a] rally, we felt it was a sign-waving emergency. We immediately drove over and stayed for an hour and a half. ? I'd say 85 percent of the people were giving us the "thumbs up" and beeping their car horns. One lady pulled up to us and said, "It's about time I saw you guys out here!"

?Darnell Kreuzer, Lake Mary, Fla., in an email to Yahoo News

An anti-Obama sign in Custar, Ohio. (Leroy Wurst)

The strangest thing I've seen here in Sarasota County ? is what I'm calling the "little old lady" brigade.

There seem to be a lot of elderly women in this area accosting people in public with the most outlandish claims about Obama. The other day, one had the cashier at Dollar General trapped in an aisle while she spouted unbelievable conspiracy theories. She ended with, "Watch Fox News, you'll see." I was accosted in Walmart by one of them at the prescription counter and one at Publix at the customer service counter who tried to follow me out to my car.

?Deborah Aldridge, Sarasota County, Fla.

I live in Dayton, Ohio, which now seems to be the heart of the election drama.

The political commercials on radio and TV have gotten so numerous. At this point it is more pleasurable to not watch TV or listen to the radio. I used to listen to a certain radio station while driving my daughter to school. I would hear at least three commercials on my drive there and back. They were all one-sided, pro-Obama commercials that I felt were not based on facts. So I finally had to switch to talk radio on AM, [which was] pro-Romney. It was maddening, so now we listen to CDs.

I am a Romney-Ryan supporter, and this has caused disruption in my neighborhood. I made a decision to put a sign in my yard. This has made me very unpopular in a Democratic neighborhood. We now are on our fourth sign; they have been destroyed in various ways. I have to take it down when I leave my house and put it back when I return.

The conversations with my Democratic friends have gotten to be unbearable, so my contact with a longtime childhood friend has been very limited. Every discussion ends in a political debate.

?Elizabeth McDonald, Dayton, Ohio, in an email to Yahoo News

It seems like every few days someone I know is sharing a picture [on Facebook] of themselves with some major political figure.

The popular picture where Obama was lifted into the air by a local pizza owner was taken in my hometown at Big Apple [Pizza], where I've eaten before. One friend from high school has uploaded multiple pictures with the president. Another took a picture with Newt Gingrich, I believe in Tampa at the Republican convention. Joe Biden spoke [in] the gym at Lincoln Park Academy, where I attended high school. My parent's house is even a two-minute walk from where Mitt Romney spoke in Port Saint Lucie.

Seeing all these things so close to home has been a cool experience, but I'm glad this only comes around once every four years, and I will not be sad to see it go.

?Dustin Buckley, a student at the University of Florida

A homemade anti-Obama sign in Perry County, Ohio. (Chad Wilkins)

I'm a 21-year-old student at the University of Cincinnati, and the relentless campaigning by both sides has turned my everyday walk to class into a gauntlet run of student activist groups and voter registration advocates trying to push their agendas.

It's become more frustrating than when I lived back home in Columbus, and my family had to take a prerecorded phone call about the elections every half hour. UC's beautiful urban campus has been turned into a veritable battleground.

With the recent cold, rainy weather here in Cincinnati, however, many of these campaign tactics have been dropped, replaced with posters in various classroom buildings and random advocates coming up to me in the student center and asking if I've registered to vote yet and would I like to so I can show my support for President Obama. No, I've already submitted my absentee ballot for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, so I'd like to get back to my homework, if you don't mind.

Ironically, despite the influx of campaigning and signage on campus, there are relatively few yard signs spread throughout the student-populated neighborhoods off campus, though I attribute this more to competing interests among housemates rather than lack of interest.

Luckily, political tensions haven't spilled over into my own household (I live in a house with six other people just off campus), since my friends and I are able to have civil discussions about the issues rather than simply badmouthing the candidates or disrespecting each others' opinions. Of course, even those who don't agree with each other can agree that they just can't wait for campaign season to be over already.
