Umberto Eco (1995) 'Ur-Fascism', New York Review of Books, 2/14

[awaylaughing]

Venetia Blue, my MC from @barbwritesstuff very wonderful werewolf action-adventure-romance, Blood Moon. It has amazing characters who are dynamic, flawed and deeply lovable with a variety of personalities and beliefs; it has paranormal politics of several flavours; it has magic and amazing side characters that are impossible not to love; and it has a terrific end-game showdown that is very satisfying. I've been kicking my feet and giggling, gasping in outrage, and generally enjoying the variation within the story for a few days now, and Venetia's been the winner of "most canonical run". A slightly babbly profile under the cut

Name: Venetia Jaqueline Blue

Pronouns: She/Her

Height: 155.5cm/5'1"

Age: 26

Appearance: a short, curvy woman with fair, freckled skin and green eyes. Her hair is a natural light blonde, slightly wavy, falling to about her collar bones. She usually wears in a single braid or if she takes the time, vintage waves.

Venetia prefers fairly practical dress, with a lot of purple, brown, and denim. She can be easy to spot on cooler days though, thanks to a strange and distinctly quirky patchwork jacket she likes to wear (she made it herself).

As a wolf, Venetia somewhat curiously most resembles a Husdon Bay Wolf, with a smaller build and light yellow-and-white colouring. The first time she shifted in front of the pack Marco declared her "barely toasted marshmallow" coloured.

Biography

Born on Oct. 31st, 1993 to a small but relatively wealthy clan Venetia's childhood was very pleasant. Owning a private fig farm, the pack managed to keep well funded without interacting much with the outside world, bar farmer's market's and deliver drivers come the advent of internet selling.

Venetia herself grew up relatively alone, a quirk of the pack's generations meaning she was born a decade behind the older children and a decade before the youngest. She spent much of her time with the pack elders, who were happy to encourage a voracious learner. They encouraged her so much in fact Venetia was the first in the pack to attend post-secondary school. She left school after only two years however, as the pack's official educator passed somewhat unexpectedly leaving behind several young students.

Venetia served as the pack educator herself for three years, a job that was a good fit as she's always liked children. It all came crashing down however one day when she returned from an early-morning hunt-slash-run. When she got back, armed with a couple of pheasants, she found only the smell of death and rotting flowers, an unusual heavy frost, and a damning silence.

Venetia spent the next three years as a stray, haunted by a formless loss. She preoccupied herself initially with dead-end investigations, which eventually gave way to her disappearing into a national park. She came back to herself after three months in her wolf form, when she found herself following not a deer or rabbit, but an unwitting camping family. Horrified, that was the moment that lead to her core conviction:

She's a person, not a monster and she will not the wolf of the moon win.

Not that Venetia is a self-hating werewolf, no she quite likes her wolf, so long as it's her and not the moon driving her. It's a balance she didn't really find until Alek and the pack accepted her in however, for the preceding two and a half years in fact Venetia resisted shifting except for moons for the most part.

During those years, she coped with her loneliness the only way she knew how: hobbies. Sewing, car repair, fixing radios, carving, learning French, etc. Venetia jumped from item to item, stubbornly conquering skills and projects before moving on to the newest thing. This does make her a very handy packmate: it's likely that even if Venetia doesn't have an exact skill needed for an odd job, she something transferable (and she's great at finding resources to help her learn).

In the city, Venetia saw it as a sort of job to really help out as her time as a stray often meant coming into bigger cities to avoid wandering into another pack's territory. Her decision to try for Alpha--and the reason she got it, was similar. Smart and patient, Venetia's only priority was keeping the pack together and thriving, even when she only had a handful of moons with the pack under her belt.

Fun Facts

her native language is Welsh, she didn't learn English until she was around 12 years old

her mother named for a novel she once read, despite hating the novel itself

grew up on the coast so has a taste for fish and shellfish

worked at over 32 different places during her stray-days, but the bulk of these (more than half) were "work for board" style planting/harvesting operations

her longest stray-days job was as a yoga instructor at a Wiccan run spa-retreat, they were very sympathetic to her need to take full moons off

is allergic to bug bites, to her IMMENSE frustration

Miss Nilou! how are you so light on your feet? I may be a cat-hybrid..but I don't understand how you're so quick!

-Estella/@murderousaudhdcat

Oh- Hello! I'm not really sure myself haha, maybe it's just my dance training. It focuses a lot on the flexibility in my feet and legs to make my movements smoother.

You're not the first person to ask me this, actually. Someone suggested that I teach a movement therapy class, but I'm not sure if many people would be interested in it.

The Urge to walk on things like they’re a balance beam

[val-daily]

Wednesday, 10 January 2024

Currently feeling:

Tired, sleepy, satisfied, hopeful, sad.

Well Done:

Today during a spontaneous conversation with a coworker I felt it as a heavy lifting process: I couldn’t grasp her thoughts, she jumped a bit from one to another, I had problems deciphering her language (how difficult can Russian language be for two native?) and what she meant by all that. I had no desire to keep on filtering her speech for both of us and I said to her that it’s really difficult for me. She asked me why, I answered: I don’t know if it’s me not understanding properly or her being not clear enough. Afterward she ceased her attempt to speak. Lately I would drag myself through any conversation however uncomfortable I was.

After work I planned to do some yoga, but spend 2 hours wandering around the flat, then I just started a training and felt refreshed by it.

To better:

Feeling down I binge listen to podcasts, it is fruitless and unhealthy, yet I want to escape my coworker so badly I’d rather cramp my mind with some other voices. How to deal with it I don’t know now, being fully present with her seems torturous.

Well, I was a bit aggressive towards my grand mom today, when she asked a taxi number, and was slow in understanding me. Deal with anger some other way!

Delights:

Podcasts about psychological portrayal of fictional characters.

Podcast about Orthodox Church losing its integrity in time of war. I enjoyed the part of Russian people not realising their idea of the doctrine is rather catholic.

Online Yoga Teacher Training: Your Path to a Flexible and Comprehensive Yoga Certification

In recent years, online yoga teacher training (YTT) has gained immense popularity, offering flexibility, accessibility, and a unique learning experience to aspiring yoga instructors worldwide. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a beginner with a passion for yoga, online training opens up opportunities to deepen your practice, enhance your teaching skills, and earn a recognized certification from the comfort of your home. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about online yoga teacher training.

What is Online Yoga Teacher Training?

Online yoga teacher training is a structured program designed to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and certification required to teach yoga. Traditionally conducted in-person, these programs now leverage digital platforms to provide comprehensive training remotely. Students participate in live or pre-recorded sessions, complete assignments, and engage with experienced instructors and peers, all through an online setup.

Benefits of Online Yoga Teacher Training

Flexibility and ConvenienceOnline yoga teacher training allows you to learn at your own pace, making it ideal for those with busy schedules or other commitments. You can access the material anytime, anywhere, without the need to travel, making it convenient for international students.

Cost-EffectiveBy eliminating travel and accommodation expenses, online programs are often more affordable than in-person ones. This makes online yoga teacher training accessible to more people and allows them to invest in their education without breaking the bank.

Diverse Learning ResourcesOnline training programs typically offer a range of digital resources, including video tutorials, e-books, and interactive workshops. These resources allow students to revisit complex topics as needed, reinforcing learning and enabling deeper comprehension.

Experienced and Accessible InstructorsMany online yoga teacher training programs are led by renowned yoga instructors from around the world. Through live sessions and Q&A forums, you can receive personalized guidance and feedback, benefiting from their expertise even from a distance.

Community BuildingOnline platforms offer ways to connect with a global community of like-minded practitioners. Many programs have private groups, discussion forums, and live chat features that allow you to build meaningful connections with other students and instructors.

What to Expect in an Online Yoga Teacher Training Program

Most 200 hour online yoga teacher training programs follow the structure of a traditional curriculum and cover essential aspects of yoga education. Here are some key elements you can expect:

Yoga Philosophy and HistoryUnderstanding the roots of yoga is crucial to becoming a well-rounded instructor. The training delves into ancient yogic texts like the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and the origins of yoga as a holistic discipline.

Anatomy and PhysiologyKnowledge of human anatomy is fundamental to teaching yoga safely. You’ll learn about the musculoskeletal system, how different poses affect the body, and how to adapt practices to different needs and abilities.

Asana (Posture) PracticeA core component of Yoga Teacher Training is learning and mastering yoga poses. Online Yoga Teacher Training programs provide detailed guidance on asanas, alignment, adjustments, and how to effectively lead students through each posture.

Pranayama (Breathing Techniques)Pranayama techniques are taught to help regulate energy and breath. You'll learn various breathing exercises to enhance focus, relaxation, and energy, both for your own practice and to teach your future students.

Meditation and MindfulnessMeditation and mindfulness are integral parts of yoga. You’ll gain practical experience with meditation techniques and explore how to guide students in cultivating mindfulness on and off the mat.

Teaching MethodologyUnderstanding how to lead a yoga class is essential. Teaching methodology includes cues, class structure, sequencing, and how to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for your students.

How to Choose the Right Online Yoga Teacher Training Program

AccreditationLook for programs that are accredited by recognized yoga organizations like the Yoga Alliance. Accreditation ensures that the program meets specific educational standards, and upon completion, your certification will be more widely recognized.

Instructor CredentialsResearch the instructors' experience and teaching style. A qualified and inspiring teacher can significantly impact your learning journey and help you become a confident instructor.

Curriculum and SpecializationsChoose a program with a curriculum that aligns with your goals. Some online yoga teacher training programs offer specialized training in areas like prenatal yoga, yoga therapy, or children’s yoga, which can broaden your teaching scope.

Community Support and InteractivityOpt for programs that offer interactive elements such as live sessions, group discussions, and feedback. Community support can enhance your learning and keep you motivated throughout the course.

Flexible SchedulingFlexibility is one of the main advantages of online yoga teacher training, but it's essential to ensure that the program’s schedule aligns with your availability. Look for options with self-paced learning, weekend classes, or recordings if you need to study around other commitments.

Preparing for Your Online Yoga Teacher Training Journey

Create a Dedicated SpaceSetting up a comfortable, distraction-free space for practice and study will enhance your focus and dedication to the training.

Invest in Essential EquipmentEnsure you have a yoga mat, blocks, straps, and any other props your program recommends. A stable internet connection is also essential for seamless access to classes.

Set Personal GoalsBefore starting, clarify your goals. Are you aiming to deepen your personal practice, or do you want to pursue a career as a yoga teacher? Having a clear purpose will keep you motivated throughout the training.

Commit to Regular PracticeYoga is more than just theory, it's about practice. Dedicate time to daily or weekly practice to embody the knowledge you’re gaining, ensuring you’re prepared to teach with confidence and authenticity.

Final Thoughts

Online yoga teacher training is a wonderful opportunity for those looking to pursue their passion for yoga in a flexible and accessible format. With dedication and an open mind, you can achieve a high level of expertise and readiness to guide others on their yoga journey. Take the time to research, select a program that aligns with your values and goals, and embrace the learning process wholeheartedly.

Surprising Benefits of Yoga Mats You Never Knew

The Unsung Hero of Your Yoga Session: The Yoga Mat

Imagine the scene: a peaceful morning, a warm cup of herbal tea, and the desire to embark on a rejuvenating yoga session. As you unroll your yoga mat and transition into your first pose, have you ever paused to consider the vital role this seemingly simple accessory plays in your yoga practice? Let's delve into the often-overlooked benefits of the yoga mat that might surprise you.

1. Unparalleled Grip for Stability

Your yoga mat is not just a flat surface; it's designed as an anti-slip haven. This feature ensures stability during intense sessions, like Hot Yoga, where perspiration could turn your mat into a potential slip zone. Approximately 80% of yogis credit their mat for improving overall stability, allowing them to focus on perfecting poses rather than slipping worries.

2. Comfort and Cushioning: Embracing the Cloud Effect

Beyond aesthetics, your yoga mat offers a cushiony embrace. It serves as a supportive layer, significantly reducing the risk of joint injuries during poses that exert pressure on areas like wrists and knees. Research from the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine emphasizes the vital role of cushioning in minimizing joint strain during yoga practice.

3. Your Personal Sanctuary in a Hectic World

Amidst life's chaos, your yoga mat becomes a sacred space. Rolling it out signifies a boundary where stress and worries are left behind, even if only for an hour. This mental sanctuary is as crucial as the physical benefits of yoga, providing a temporary escape where you become the priority.

4. Hygienic Shield Against Bacteria

In urban environments, shared spaces can harbor unseen bacteria. Your personal yoga mat acts as a hygienic barrier, shielding you from germs. Whether practicing in a shared studio or a public park, your mat stands as a trustworthy shield in the ongoing battle against bacteria.

5. Aesthetic Appeal: Merging Functionality with Style

Functional items can be stylish too. Your yoga mats transform into a personal expression with countless designs, ranging from mandala prints, cartoon prints yoga mats to celestial patterns. It becomes the fashion runway of the yoga world, allowing you to flaunt your unique style while practicing mindfulness.

6. Portable Motivator for Consistency

Similar to how seeing your running shoes might motivate you to jog, your yoga mat serves as a silent reminder of your commitment to yourself. Its portability enables you to carry your practice wherever life takes you—from the bustling streets of Brooklyn to the serene landscapes of The Bronx.

7. Improve Posture and Alignment with Marked Mats

Some yoga mats come equipped with markers and alignment lines. They aren't just for aesthetics but ensure your poses are precise. It's like having a silent yoga instructor always with you, guiding you toward perfecting each posture.

8. The Environmental Perspective: A Bow to Nature

Yoga is not just a personal practice but a journey aligning with nature. Many yoga mats are crafted from natural, biodegradable materials, blending self-improvement with environmental consciousness. With every Sun Salutation, you make a nod to Mother Earth.

9. Tailored to Your Unique Practice

Not all yoga practices are the same, and neither are all yoga mats. Advanced designs allow you to find a mat tailored for your unique style, ensuring optimum benefits for your specific practice, whether it's Bikram Yoga or Yin Yoga.

10. Amplifying the Spiritual Connection

Beyond the physical, your yoga mat often transcends into the spiritual realm. It becomes a sacred space, capturing and holding the energy of your practice. With every roll-out, you carve out a moment of serenity and focus in the chaos of daily life.

11. Amplifies Your Balance: Mind-Body Harmony

Balance isn't just physical stability; it's about the mind-body connection. A good yoga mat, with its grip and stability, allows you to focus inward, amplifying the harmony between your mind and body during each pose.

12. Safety Net: Guarding Against Injuries

While yoga is a peaceful practice, injuries can occur. Your mat serves as a safety net, providing the necessary grip to prevent accidents. It whispers reassurance, saying, "I've got your back," as you navigate through different poses.

13. Versatile Accessory for Diverse Exercises

Your trusty yoga mat isn't limited to yoga alone. It offers a cushioned surface for various exercises, from push-ups to sit-ups, ensuring you get the most out of your workout without the discomfort of bare floors.

Choosing the Best Yoga Mat: A Confluence of Preference and Purpose

Selecting the perfect yoga mat involves considerations such as purpose, material, portability, and budget. The mat is not just an accessory; it's a crucial element that complements your practice.

Take your time in choosing a best yoga mat, be it adult yoga mats or yoga mat for kids as sometimes, the mat chooses you, marking the beginning of a beautiful and harmonious relationship.

Conclusion- Elevating Your Yoga Experience

In the grand tapestry of yoga, the mat is not merely a prop but a partner. It aids, supports, and sometimes even challenges us to push our limits. So, the next time you step onto your yoga mat, remember you're stepping onto a legacy of design, function, and holistic well-being.
