Tantek ()'s status on Friday, 10-Jan-2020 11:34:00 EST Tantek Yesterday’s early morning sun and clouds peaking through the trees of Lafayette Park(1). I had just finished an early morning Vinyasa session @YogaFlowSF, in the main yoga room affectionately nicknamed the treehouse for its multipaned bay windows that bring in light sifted by evergreen trees just outside(2).
When Charlotte started our 7:10am class it was still nearly dark outside, the streetlamps were off, and dawn’s light was still quite dim. Practicing yoga with others while the room slowly brightened with natural light was a new experience for me. I felt a growing sense of energy and presence, from myself, and even when I closed my eyes, from subtle sounds and air currents shaped by the class’s movements.

tonight @YogaFlowSF on Union. Finding peace on a #yoga mat on a Friday night, indoors under moonlight. So nice serendipitously seeing #YTT colleague @iamkatieshill too. Thank you Britany & Ege! -
Tantek ()'s status on Tuesday, 23-Jan-2018 12:18:00 EST Tantek What I packed for a week away to a #yoga retreat @PosadaNatura Costa Rica.
* carried mat and @TheNorthFace KABAN backpack
* everything else fit inside backpack
#neverstopexploring #minimal #thingsarrangedneatly #insidemybag #packing #travel #latergram #nofilter
Containment:
* laptop sleeve held everything above it except 13" MacBookAir (for scale), which fit in the KABAN’s laptop holder
* red bag held everything above-right & above it
I ended up not using:
* Everything in the far right column
(wasn’t hot enough to need a yoga towel or @Nov_Project buffs, didn’t do a trail run, nor shave, nor need the extra @AnkerOfficial USB battery)
I gave away:
* a few extra ziplock bags to others staying longer in Costa Rica
Not pictured, what I wore and carried on me en route:
* @ASICSamerica trail shoes, black Experia running socks, @Lululemon 4-way pants, v-neck t-shirt, @HM hoodie
* small notepad, wallett, iPod 6 Touch, passport
* iPod nano 3rd gen, earphones with mic, Skyroam rental mifi
* @Suunto watch, @BowersWilkins bluetooth headphones
Key: quick dry wet-wicking @Adidas & @Lululemon tanktops and lined @Lululemon & @NewBalance yoga/running shorts, easily & quickly washed after daily use while showering. Two pairs is enough to hang one set up to air dry while you wear the other.
Detailed list in a blog post if I get to it.
This the least/lightest I have traveled with for that long away (7 days & nights).
Next least&lightest/days was in 2015, five days/nights away to Orlando, Florida:

Tantek ()'s status on Friday, 29-Dec-2017 20:08:00 EST Tantek #FBF to teaching #yoga @Nov_Project_SF Friday 2017-10-13 @TheNorthFace. 📷 @poleary87 (except 2nd).
I was honored when Paddy asked me if I could teach #NPSF yoga instead of our usual Friday hills, due to the poor outdoor air quality (unhealthy for everyone) from the north bay fires. Thanks to #TheNorthFace for allowing us early morning use of their space!
This was my first time teaching a full one hour yoga class on my own indoors (having taught outdoors over the summer), as well as first time teaching NPSF as a whole.
I came up with a custom routine (and a new playlist) that I thought would suit NPSFs abilities & challenges, provide a good workout, but perhaps most importantly help people connect with themselves, and hopefully find a sense of peace & calm amongst everything happening at the time.
Interestingly, though anxious at the start, I found myself also feeling more peaceful and calm as the class proceeded. Afterwards I was just grateful I was able to provide and serve a community which has inspired and helped me so much.
Learning to teach yoga and share that has been one of the highlights of 2017. My training @YogaFlowSF also left me with more questions than answers, personal and universal, that I know I will be spending more time thinking about in the coming years. Grateful for all my teachers, past and present.

Tantek ()'s status on Monday, 14-Aug-2017 20:37:00 EDT Tantek 📕 finished reading “The Eight Limbs of Yoga”tantek.com/isbn/086547768Xyesterday. #yoga#philosophy
I finished reading more than half of it and skimmed to the end, before participating in the “Steadiness and Ease” yoga assists immersive (tantek.com/2017/197/t1), but finally finished reading it thoroughly yesterday afternoon.
The book provides an excellent introduction to and summary of key aspects of yoga philosophy. Most of it was a review of what I learned during my 200 hour yoga teacher training, but still had many details that were new to me. I underlined enough key observations that I may do a longer write-up (book report style) later. -
