Booting Judgment Out the Door. by Diane DeGiorgio Cesa on Wednesday, 19 October 2011 on Facebook. An interesting note about reserving judgment. I was first intrigued at the beginning where someone had said, “I just had a crappy yoga practice.” My initial reaction to that statement was “It was your practice.” Whether a yoga [...] 2010 has been an interesting and eventful year in my yoga practice. At the beginning of the year, I made the move from a weekly basics class to more advanced classes, usually attending several different classes a week.
