Reliving the past, looking forward, and enjoying the moment

Audrey's brothers hanging out in their courtyard in Abomey, Benin doing the "Superman" pose that was so popular earlier this year.

As many of you know, in addition to working with TS, I'm also an assistant professor of anthropology. It's a job that I love - despite the fact that I basically fell into it after I finished my PhD and someone else had just left the position unexpectedly. From the very beginning it's been both challenging and rewarding.

This fall I'll be teaching a new course (teaser, I'm not going to jinx it by talking it up too soon) and the process of thinking about old problems in new ways brought me back to a blog post about yoga that I wrote a few years ago on Medium. It's a bit of a #longread (13 minutes) so I think if you've got a nice cup of coffee or glass of wine you may enjoy checking it out. Please do let me know what you think.
