Making our way in the all-hands-online era

This week we continue to settle into the online environment. Way up here online the potential to open up additional avenues of work on the 'mental ecology' side of things is great. It's a bit more difficult to advance the momentum on the 'physical ecology' side, but with the keeping of daily practice logs and the optional use of extended practice yoga+ video on Thursdays (and possibly on other days as well) this too can be done. In some ways our timing is spot-on. At a time in the semester when the focus turns to establishing and maintaining one's own practice, we have a great opportunity to do that due in part to the extenuating circumstances.

Part three commences online

Due to the current public health situation we will be finishing up the semester online. We will continue building and logging individual bodymindfulness practices on a daily basis. We will also continue our Tuesday check-ins (via online discussion forums in Canvas), and our conversations about selected topics (also via online discussion forums in Canvas).

Putting the wraps on part two

This week we conclude part two of the course -- a three-week adventure into ideas and practices of embodiment and disembodiment. In the run-up to spring break, we'll conclude our pre-break work with a presentation that features the work of Marshall McLuhan, Jean Baudrillard, and Jacques Lacan.
