Wow, and here we are in March already! I can’t remember the exact quote for lambs and lions, but I am seeing the subtle signs of spring. I recently led a retreat in the Boulder area and became fully aware that spring is many months away for them. It’s one of the magnificent...

A Floating Head It’s been over 15 years, but I can still recall what I felt like before I started practicing yoga and mindfulness.  At Prasada, we talk a lot about the three worlds within which we live. For me, at that time, my primary mode of navigation and experience of life was through the...
