Vivarium Some people collect dirt from significant places. Or spoonfuls of cloudy ocean inside jars. Like amateur naturalists, they keep these treasures permanently on a shelf.

I stood outside my house where white stitches of snow were dissolving into the ground beneath the evergreens. An unset moon floated over the trees. If I...

If you've had that kind of job, you know it's short-term, but it can also be intense. For those of you in aquatics, summer can feel that way as well. You've got to pack everything in while the weather's good. And the intensity can lead to burnout. If you're feeling worn, you might have an internal dialogue you inherited from the Stoics; ancient Greek...

Today is May the Fourth. It's the only day of the year you get to turn to your neighbor in the pool and say, "Wanna fight?" With pool noodles, of course ⚔️😂 Because it's Star Wars day. 5/10 - Mother's Day The only day of the year you get to do aqua yoga all day long, and no one can criticize you for it. It's also the day you get to buy yourself as many presents as you want, so shop away for aqua yoga fun in the online STORE. Like me, it might also be the day you have to share with your...

Spring is here, and if you live in the north, bright colors are coming back. Turquoise will return to your neighborhood instead of just through me on the computer screen 😉 And that diversity of color is a good thing.

For most people, the surface of the water comes to their mid-chest, and that becomes a dividing line. Everything above that line is what you’re aware of and using. Everything below has disappeared into the depths of the pool. This lack of awareness of submerged body parts in aquatic exercise is one of the barriers to working with your feet in the pool. Undervaluing your feet’s vital role in your general health is why preventable foot conditions like bunions and plantar fasciitis are so...
