		<title>Seasonal Vinyasa Yoga for Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Kapha qualities outside can make you feel heavy and lethargic and/or pull you towards foods that promote weight gain or the use of recreational drugs and alcohol to cope with depression, stress, and the winter blues; here we again see the precept “like increases like.” It’s not easy to break out of this cycle, [...]]]></description>

		<title>8 Limbs in Blu-Ray!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Early last year 8 Limbs was approached to produce a yoga DVD with a local company called Topics. Topics wanted to get a Blu-Ray Yoga Set “on the market” and asked us to create four classes to be taught and modeled by 8 Limbs instructors. They auditioned and chose six teachers for the project, Angela [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detoxifying Cilantro Pesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this great recipe from Dr. Scott Blossom, a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner in the Bay area. Cilantro is truly a healing food, it has been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short period of time. Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, this recipe is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why, hello 2012.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Since 2003, it’s been my job to come up with a new weekly theme to teach over the course of my weekly yoga classes. These themes are meant to (hopefully) inspire the students, and me. Since my awareness is quite spongy, ideas come from everywhere: books, movies, quotes, snippets of conversations I have—or hear (eavesdropper!), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guatemala Memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We arrived in Guatemala City together on a Friday night, worlds away from the cold March air in Seattle. Jenny Hayo had convinced me of the power of this remote location on an enormous lake beneath two towering volcanos. She had taken two previous groups to Lake Atitlan and was my tour guide en route [...]]]></description>

		<title>Daily Practice, revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Like many yoga practitioners, I often wrestle with daily practice, called abhyasa in Sanskrit. This investigation has taken many shapes and forms over the years, but recently I found a brand new edge.
A month ago I realized that my relationship to asana was one that continued the pattern of control I have used for several [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spiraling into Solstice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the powerful time of Winter Solstice, when the darkest day of the year wraps itself around our hemisphere. I have myself often missed the Winter Solstice, busy with preparations for the holidays, or travel, or just busy. At this time in our history we can turn on lights when we want them and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Airplane Yoga for Holiday Travelers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveling during the upcoming holidays has its pluses and minuses. You know it will be great to see family and friends, but the enhanced airport security measures stress you out. Then there’s sitting in a safety-oriented airplane seat that was not built for comfort. With a few planning tips and yoga poses to do at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Natural Solutions for the Cold/Flu Season</title>

Craig is among many other things an Oriental Medicine Doctor and Ayurvedic Practitioner who offers a wide range of classes and workshops related to physical, mental, and spiritual health.

		<title>Season of Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time of year is known as the &#8220;Holiday Season,&#8221; especially in politically correct Seattle where I learned quickly to say “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Solstice” on December 21st.
In these times of wonderfully mindful recognition of diversity we honor the many types of holidays this time of year holds &#8211; Hanukkah, [...]]]></description>
