ADHESIONS AND BEYOND : with Isabel Spradlin
I recently spent seven days on this river, the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Turns out none of our group of seven was fully prepared for what the river had to offer and in spite of some grueling, frustrating, beautiful and warm, cold and rainy days, everyone in our group remained magically happy-ish. I have … Continue reading …
Nowhere is the potential of food so fully revealed (I think) than in the bounties of Spring and Summer. I’m sure it’s no news to you that there are about twenty different ways we humans “should” be eating and it can get so distracting from what is really important. We start seeing food only in … Continue reading …
It’s so easy to feel trapped . . . in our bodies, in our minds, in our lives, in our perceived and real limitations. And it is so delicious and healing and necessary to find those wide expanses of healing space “beyond” us but actually inside us, snuggled up so close that sometimes it’s hard … Continue reading …
I don’t talk often enough about the women out there doing so much amazing work with bellies, abdomens, and beyond. So, here is a post dedicated to other people’s work that has been inspiring my freaking socks off lately! http://lesliehowardyoga.com Yoga specifically for the pelvic floor!!

I have been doing some touch-ups to the abdominal site and in the process of thinking about my “messaging,” I looked up the URL loveyourbelly.com. Usually when I do this kind of thing, I brace myself to see something porny or destructive or mildly-to-strongly demeaning. So, you can imagine my total relief and love and … Continue reading …
At 4:30 this morning I was jolted awake by the screeching and thumping of battling raccoons on the fence outside our bedroom window (I always think they’re in the house). About ten seconds after that ended, Clark had an allergy attack with the requisite sneezing, coughing, blowing of nose, and clearing of throat. I had … Continue reading …
People think that when they come to yoga class, or when they’re on my table, or when they’re doing the belly self-care videos, they should “get it” right away. They get frustrated when they don’t. And understandably so. Most people like to feel that they understand that whatever they’re doing, that they’re doing it well. … Continue reading …
At long last! I have finished with the new beautifulness and content on the abdominal website. I will of course be adding new articles regularly and it’s so nice to have such a lovely home for them. For so long I have been the type of person that gets an idea for a project (see … Continue reading …
For some reason this always cracks me up (and not always in the funny way, sometimes it’s in the Lady Macbeth wrenching of the hands way). I think I’ve just been working with adhesions for so long it’s hard for me to understand the idea of using drugs or surgery to break up what is … Continue reading …
My new ebook website for holistic books is alive . . . like, really alive! I’ve been piecing this together for what seems like years – oh wait, it has been years – and now it’s (mostly) ready to go. So exciting. Right now it’s just my one lonely, but fabulous, book about meditation: Because … Continue reading …
