My Blog Is Your Blog

To honor Freedom, which is what we are celebrating today in the United States I want to invite you to be a part of the blog and direct me on what you would like to read here.

July is also the point of mid-year, which serves as a reflection vortex, or so I claim! I want to know what you think. Is the blog keeping it real?

I am opening up a new poll (on the right) to make it easier but I would much appreciate if you were to comment and post specific questions.  What Is it missing? What do you want to see more of? You can. Ask me on Twitter.

For example:


I am developing series on pranayama which I hope to make a whole new section.  For example there is already a post on how to get started with the real basics of pranayama and one on kapalbhati or the breathing exercise that clears the mind.



What would you like to see next?

Comment with your suggestions or questions because July is freedom month and I want to direct the blog on your cue!  :-)

Happy 4th for those of you in the United States, and happy Canada day as well for the friends on the north, and since we are at it, happy 9th of July for those of my home land in Argentina! :-)

    I like personal stories. After that I like stuff related to yoga philosophy, krishnamacharya, etc.

    I am with James, I love the personal stories, yoga philosophy esp how it applies to our lives, ashtanga "mythology"/history/anecdotes and book reviews

    i think we have a pattern, cause i'm w/james and min on this ;-)

    also, it never hurts, i think, to still have articles on stuff "you" want when you want, whether on asanas, blog watches, a book review you want to do, etc

    gotta keep the flavor of what you really enjoy, thanks for asking ;-)

    I don't know Claudia, I think your blog is your blog, it's a reflection of who you are, your own interests and passions. I guess I want you to write about what you WANT to write about, what you feel strongly about even if it means you lose 99% of your readership ( I'll stick around). What amuses, you, takes your fancy, what troubles you. I wont be interested in everything i'm sure but then there will be posts I never would have expected to be interested in that will end up grabbing me or challenging me.

    i understand the sentiment though and have thought about asking the same thing.

    That said, you've written some big posts recently, the last one for example 'The Only 32 Things You Need to Know About Yoga' and the pranayama one, be nice if you had a place on your page for the ones your readers will want to come back to . Been in a rush all weekend and haven't had a chance to really go through it and think about it. perhaps something titled 'long posts you might want to come back to'.

    hi Claudia
    i love your post. i love the way yo write and i get to know you ;-) the brilliant thing on your blog is that you do touch into everything and that's why it is so interesting. you can learn lots from some posts, others allow us readers to see into your thoughts and your view of life and you living yoga. so no need to change really ;-)
    having sad that, i will contradict myself and be very spoiled in requesting some more practical tips on asanas early in practice. it is very helpful seeing and hearing fellow matured ashtangis talk how they got over harder poses when they started in the same way you talk about the poses you are working on now in your practice.
    hope that makes sense and apologies for a long comment ;-) Ivana
    p.s. happy July 4th and July 9th x

    Thanks James, I know you are a believer in the power of stories, especially when they are real, and bleed. I believe in them too... thanks for saying.

    Min, appreciate your comment, that is actually my favorite part, how it all comes together.

    Adan great, guess the mix is good then. I do have my own thing going is true...

    Grimmly appreciate the vote of confidence, guess I am getting a self esteem boost from the post after all... and you are right some of the post I guess I want to have more prominently located, I dread letting go of some, or burrying them, especially the ones close to my heart, like the only 32 things to know which you mentioned... yes, I will think about a title for them... I get where you are going to. Thanks for the input.

    I suppose that is what I iike about blogs too, that they are expressions of the people behind them, good point!

    Hi Ivana, we must have crossed comments, I just only see it now. That is a great idea, sure ! I love those kinds of posts, and lately the focus in practice has been on "cleaning up", I actually have an idea already!, thanks for the input and the cheer about the blog :-)

    I just want to know your opinion about the subjects that interest you. That's why we read blogs, Si o no?

    Write whatever you feel compelled to share Claudia; I'll for sure keep reading!
    I do especially like the 'Sunday Blog Times' though...it's fun to discover new blogs and fun articles on yoga related things that I didn't know about.
    :)
