Lessons from the road: The secret to maintaining a long distance relationship

posted by ebean

The secret to maintaining a long distance relationship is contact.  But what do you do if you can’t be physically present (I mean, it is long-distance…)?  You have to be really creative.

1.  Send real mail. A letter.  An envelope with random stuff.  A box with random stuff.  It gives them something to touch and hold.  It makes you real.  Mix CDs are good to include.  But anything works really.  Don’t send sexy stuff (that just makes things tricky).

2.  Skype like crazy. It is free.  Try to make sure you are not in a public space so you can get more intimate but public is okay too as long it isn’t every time you Skype.

3.  Email. Try to vary the lengths.  Include pictures, music, whatever else you can find.

Things that tugged my heart strings…

Ashtanga Yoga Classes in NYC (Led primary series)

[updated 11/16/11]

Because not all classes or teachers are listed on kpjayi.com or ashtanga.com or even ashtangayoga.com, here is a list of current led primary series in the city.  If you know of something that isn’t listed or have a review, please share!

How to get listed:  send us a note on the contact page or comment below.
How to get unlisted:  word gets out that it ain’t a proper led class.  We don’t list classes that are “inspired” by Ashtanga, intro classes, or anything like that.

(All classes are assumed to be full primary unless otherwise noted.)
(We can’t account for teachers who aren’t following the KPJAYI method.  Your best bet is to go to an Authorized or Certified teacher listed at KPJAYI.)
