The Blank Page by Rene Magritte |
After more than seven years of managing, editing, and writing for this blog, it’s time for me to take a break. So after much thought, I decided to take a sabbatical next year to work on my creative writing and some personal projects. During that time, because it is just me who does all the day-to-day work that makes this blog possible (see A Yoga Blog Without a Woman), there will be no new posts on the blog.
However, all the posts we’ve done since 2011 will still be accessible to you. And that’s 1769 posts! So if you haven’t been reading daily since the very beginning, you will surely find lots of articles of interest here that are new to you. To look through the archives, you can simply scroll down through the posts and go back in time. But you can also use the searching tools to find posts by particular people or on particular topics or even go back to the time period before you started reading the blog. See How to Search for information on the three different ways to navigate through the archives.
And if you want to keep following any of the staff members during this sabbatical, here’s where you can find us:
Nina Zolotow: I’ll be playing around on a new blog called Delusiastic!. On that blog, you’ll find my prose poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction (some old, some new) along with some new yoga writing and my meditation diary and the meditation support group I wrote about in My Meditation Project. I have a hot mess of interests, so who knows what will happen. I will also continue to post some on the Yoga for Healthy Aging Facebook page so you can follow me there. But you can also friend me personally on Facebook.
Baxter Bell: You can follow Baxter on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. His website is baxterbell.com (see workshops, retreats, and Yoga for Healthy Aging intensives for info on those events).

Thanks for all the great posts and putting it all together. I'll miss your dailys and will be doing some rereading for sure. Have a great year.
Yes, thanks for all the work you have put into this blog over the years. You and the blog will be missed. Hope to see you back online here in a year. Thanks for all the contact info you have given above. I often think about taking a sabbatical from all events and scheduled gatherings that I constantly have on my calendar…for at least a month or two, but have never done it…yet. Enjoy your newfound time and Merry Christmas!
Hello Nina and all the best for your sabbatical. I've followed Delusiastic and will continue, I'm sure, to draw on the resources of the YfHA archive. I love YfHA and have recommended it to so many people who come to my yoga classes. For some it has given them confidence to establish a home practice, using the short clips to remind them of things they have learned in class. Thanks to you and the other contributors. Best wishes, Catherine
Nina,
Deepest gratitude for all you have given us and warm and friendly thoughts and love to you on your journey. It’s time to rest now. Chrissie@yogainrecovery xx
