The Shape of Breath (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My head feels like it’s going to explode and my face and neck are on fire. I know by this point in the workout, my generally slightly rosy Celtic face is an alarming shade of scarlet.There seems to be a vice grip on my lungs; I just can’t get enough air. I open my nostrils wide, and try to force my ribs open wider; laterally, and front to back. My neck feels unbearably tight. I lean forward slightly and into a half kneeling position, a position easier to breathe in, where my tissues and structur

Read excerpt

Training Notes #6 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Training notes is my on-going series about my strength and fitness practices, both their inner and outer dimensions. This edition is more journal entry than rep-log, giving substance to the unseen parts of my physical praxis. I’m compelled by the way our personal stories, dramas and feelings show up in our physical experiences, both in emotional texture, and how they drive (or conflict) with whatever our aim is.
