Romney McDaniel: One woman's rise to the top of Republican politics

Posted: Updated:
Source: CNN Source: CNN

When the elevator doors opened and I turned the corner toward the chairman's office at the Republican National Committee Headquarters, I looked at the wall and nearly laughed out loud.

I was going to interview the new female RNC chair, Ronna Romney McDaniel, and what greeted me was rows and rows of pictures of her predecessors. All but one were men.

"Yes, they are all guys. I'm very happy to add a feminine touch to this wall," Romney McDaniel later said to me with a grin as we stood next to that photo wall of men.

Romney McDaniel is only the second woman to chair the RNC in history and the first in a generation. She was picked by the Republican President she helped elect: Donald Trump.

As chair of the Michigan GOP, Romney McDaniel worked to deliver the key state for Trump -- the first time a Republican presidential candidate has won Michigan in almost 30 years.

"I went to his very first rally in March, I think, right after he'd announced his candidacy, and there were 3,000 people there. I've never seen that for a candidate during a primary. And obviously, my uncle ran for president," she said.

That uncle is Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee who lost Michigan to Barack Obama that year by nearly 10 points.

During the 2016 campaign, Romney repeatedly slammed Trump in the harshest of terms -- calling him "a phony" and "a fraud," not to mention a threat to the economic and national security of America.

"It was just a difference of opinion as to where the country needed to go," Romney McDaniel said, "but it didn't affect my relationship with my Uncle Mitt."

3 generations in politics

Politics runs so deep in the Romney blood that 2016 was likely not the first familial difference of opinion about a candidate.

After all, Mitt's father and Ronna's grandfather, George Romney, was also a governor who ran unsuccessfully for president.

"And my mom ran for Senate, and my dad had run for attorney general. And I thought, 'I've gotta go get into party politics so I can figure out how to win and get some of my family members across the finish line,'" she laughed.

Many women in politics say they had very few, if any, female role models. Romney McDaniel not only has her mother as a role model but also her grandmother, who ran for Senate in Michigan in 1970.

"For a period of time, my grandmother, Lenore Romney, and my mother, Ronna Romney, were the only two women in the Republican Party to ever secure the nomination for Senate. And they were leaders. They were pioneers in our party," she said proudly.

But that early exposure to politics initially turned her off.

"I'd seen the negative side of it at a young age. I was 19 when my mom ran for Senate, and it was a pretty tough race. And you walk away and you think, 'I don't know if I want to be part of that world,'" she remembered.

Despite her famous name and political pedigree, Romney McDaniel, 44, ended up in politics the way a lot of women around the country do. Something happens at a local level that they get passionate about, and they get involved. Her pivotal moment came when her kids lost their favorite teacher.

"Part of the reason I got involved was I saw a teacher get laid off at our school. And we were in a budget crisis in our state, and they couldn't decide if they could bring her back on because we hadn't passed a budget. And I thought, 'This is just ridiculous,'" she said.

Getting more women involved in the GOP

Romney McDaniel told me one of her main goals as RNC chair is to attract more women to the GOP. She hopes having a woman in charge will help.

"I think it signals that the Republican Party is a party for women. For a long time, we've been put kind of to the side, as if we're single-issue voters or we're just a special interest group," Romney McDaniel said. "We need to do a better job reaching out to women."

In presidential elections, Republican candidates have fallen behind with women nationally -- Mitt Romney lost women by 11 points to Barack Obama and John McCain lost women to Obama by 13 points. During the 2016 campaign, then-candidate Trump's treatment of women became a hot-button issue after vulgar comments surfaced on an old Access Hollywood tape. The President went on to lose among women nationally by 13 points to Hillary Clinton.

Romney McDaniel says that the need to bring more women in extends to all parts of the political process -- especially fundraising.

"I hate generalizing. But what I've seen, from what I've observed, fundraising's an issue for women candidates," she said, noting she sees female candidates struggle to ask for money and to find female donors.

"A lot of the major donors, and I don't know if it's on the Democrat side, are men. So we need to cultivate more women givers. Women are very comfortable giving to charities or things they believe in, but not as much political givers."

She says recruiting women for run for office is also harder than it should be.

It's a phenomenon that does not appear to be Republican or Democratic but, rather, female. Democratic women tell me they face the same challenges when talking to prospective female candidates for office. Many are reluctant to dive in, insisting they lack experience or fear losing.

"One candidate I was just talking with, she said to me, 'I've never run for something -- I didn't know I was gonna win.' And there is a risk component, especially as you get further up in running for Senate or governor. And you're giving years of your life to something, and you don't know if you're gonna come out with a victory," Romney McDaniel said.

Much like her Democratic counterparts, she is trying to change that dynamic.

"We need more women to realize they are 100% qualified for that position and that they should run. You know, if you're a mom of young kids, sometimes you're not gonna feel like that's the right time in your life to run for office. But I think they have a really valuable voice to add to the discussion," she said.

Parenting from afar

Romney McDaniel knows firsthand the challenges of balancing politics and parenting. She was elected RNC chair in January, which was the middle of the school year for her two children: Abigail, 14, and Nash, 12. Romney McDaniel and her husband, Pat, decided that it was best for their kids not to be disrupted, so she headed to Washington, DC, alone.

"It is tough. Well, first of all, I have the best husband in the world. It is a team sport for us. But he recognizes, my kids recognize that this is an opportunity to support our President," she said.

"I think [for] any working woman, it's not unique to me, balance is tough. It's hard to balance giving everything you need to your kids and then being successful at work. And we're always juggling, and we have two full-time jobs."

Like many women working in politics who have young children, Romney McDaniel relies heavily on her husband to take on responsibilities at home, which he sees no shame in -- just the opposite.

"It's given me a great opportunity to spend more time with the kids, and we're just -- we're thrilled for Ronna and the opportunity that she has, and she really is a role model for not just our kids but for others," said Pat McDaniel, who runs the Detroit office for the insurance company Hylant.

A big part of the RNC chair job is traveling around the country, largely to raise money. For Romney McDaniel, that means trying to figure out how to parent from afar.

Some of it is doing mom logistics -- like ordering groceries on Amazon Prime from her hotel room.

"I was at home this weekend and I'm like, 'We're low on paper towels and dish washing soap.' My husband was laughing. He's like, 'I got home last night and I saw these packages on the door and I thought, oh, thank you. Thank you, Ronna, that you realized we needed these things.'"

She also tries to do homework with her kids remotely.

"My son's reading Mr. Lemoncello's Library, so I'm reading it along with him out here so that we call and I can make sure he's actually doing his reading," she said.

I got to meet Abigail and Nash when they visited D.C. during their spring break, and it was clear they are remarkably understanding about their mother's long-distance job.

"Yeah it's difficult and we miss her, but she's doing something that's really extraordinary, so I mean, I understand," Abigail told me.

And -- who knows? -- 14-year-old Abigail could end up as the fourth generation of women in her family to get into politics. She is clearly soaking it in.

"You get to do these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that are just, not a lot of other kids get to do, and that's really amazing, and I'm really proud of her for all she's doing," Abigail told me.

Romney McDaniel joked that like most parents of teenagers, she is just trying stay cool for her kids.

"You're swag, Mom," Nash told her, which Romney McDaniel joked made her so happy she was going to embroider it on a pillow.

A raw moment

The toll of being away from her kids was on display earlier this month at a CNN event to launch this series, Badass Women of Washington. I asked each of the five women who attended whether they thought women really could have it all.

Romney McDaniel happened to have one of those extremely tough working mother days. One of her children had pink eye, and she felt guilty not being there.

"I don't know if you can have it all," she answered honestly, as she began to cry.

"I don't want to cry. It's hard to have it all," she continued, wiping away tears. "But we have to do it because it's women like us who have young kids who don't step up. If we don't take these leadership roles, our voices won't be heard."

Every mother on that panel and in the audience could relate. We have all been there.

They may have departed the Confederations Cup in South Africa sooner than most people expected, but at least Italy went home with a new youngster to give them hope when they return to defend the World Cup next year.

As a boy in Teaneck, New Jersey, Giuseppe Rossi was mesmerised by TV images of the Milan of Ruud Gullit and Marco Van Basten, and he dreamed of pulling on the famous Azzurri shirt of his schoolteacher parents’ Italian homeland.

His first opportunity at senior level was last October as a substitute against Bulgaria – a full and eventful two-and-a-half years after then-USA manager Bruce Arena tried to persuade him to make a different choice.

Arena pointed out that Rossi would enjoy a far quicker route to international stardom and the World Cup with Team America, but Rossi has never taken the easy choice just for the sake of it.

His original footballing ambition, supported by father Fernando, had taken him to Parma as a 13-year-old for a trial and a youth slot. But at 17, with an Italian contract still a year away and a queue of clubs at the door, the Rossi family accepted a deal with Manchester United.

A spectacular goal against Sunderland then brought him back to Arena’s attention.
Rossi says: “I was only 18 then but Bruce Arena told me he wanted me in his squad going to the 2006 World Cup finals in Japan and Korea. But my dream was to play for Italy. No one understood it. I want to make my dreams come true – but that never meant playing for America.

“I always wanted to be a professional footballer. You can achieve it in the United States but the professional game is so much smaller. In Europe it’s much easier – or less difficult, anyway.”

Some of Rossi’s admirers believe that his character in making a positive choice for Italy was one of the reasons Marcello Lippi believes he has something very particular to offer the national team.

“I’m just an ordinary young man whose home is America, who has family there and who lived there until I was 13,” says Rossi. “But then I spent five or six years in Italy – that’s where
I grew up as a footballer so it’s an important place to me and my ambition is still to make it in Italian football. It’s a difficult challenge but I enjoy pressure.”

Rossi had two seasons at Manchester United, scoring one goal in one Premier League start plus four substitute appearances. But he enjoyed more first-team opportunities on loan with Newcastle then back in Italy with Parma. By now it was clear his prospects of a senior breakthrough at United were virtually nil. Parma could not afford to pay the £6.6million United demanded so he went to Spain with Villarreal instead.

In the 2007-08 season, in which United won the Champions League, Rossi scored three goals in eight games for the Yellow Submarine in the competition and became a first-team fixture – just as he now appears set to be a fixture in the Italy squad in South Africa next year.

He certainly came impressively off the bench in their Confederations Cup opener to score two goals against his original homeland and turn around a game which the Italians – improbably against 10 men – had been losing 1-0.

For Rossi, a far more difficult choice than playing for Italy or the United States would be choosing between Milan and United.

He says: “Of course, if Milan ever came looking for me, I’d happily say hello. But if United wanted me then I’d walk all the way there. They gave me my first experience with a first-team squad and it was terrific.”

Wow-Pro Guide Picker (Preview)

Ludovicus_Maior's picture

I'm working on a new feature, which I‘m calling the “Wow-Pro Guide Picker.”

Part of it will be behind the scenes: If you get a quest for a guide that is registered for the guide picker, it will automatically switch to that guide. So if you start doing the Tillers dailies and then go off to August Celestials, the guides will just switch. Pick up the fishing daily in Dalaran, and it will just work. So WoWPro will remember—for any guide you have used—what quests it has, and use that as the data to do a switch.

But what if you want to quickly pick another guide? Well, ALT-TAB might pop up a window that looks like this:

The guide picker will query each module and ask it to generate a list of candidate guides. The leveling module will exclude zones that are too advanced or have been completed. The World Events module can look at the calendar and see what holidays are active. The dailies modules can consider your level and what factions you don’t have good reps with. But each module sends back its list with a preference-ranking from 0 to 100. The guide picker then merges the lists and shows you the top N guides you can pick from. You can click on the icon to choose it, or hit ALT-TAB till the right one is highlighted. I'll let you guess where I stole the UI concept from Smiling.

This is going to change the way we register guides. The number of arguments to the guide registration would go way up and be crazy to manipulate. So instead of a Registration function per guide class, with a fixed set of arguments, we are going to have a single registration function with guide annotators. I think it is easier to show with an example:

WoWPro.Dailies:RegisterGuide("LudoTimeless", "Timeless Isle", "Timeless Isle", "MoP", "Ludovicus", "Neutral", function()
WoWPro:Timeless() -- Set up NPC Scan to pick up the rares and elites!
return [[

changes to
WoWPro:GuideZone(g,"Timeless Isle")
WoWPro:GuidePicker(g,function() ... end)
WoWPro:Timeless()  -- Set up NPC Scan to pick up the rares and elites!
return [[

The only mandatory parameters for a guide are its name, the author, the type, and the faction.
Some guides might set a minimum gear level. Others may define a special function for the guide picker or reference a canned one for the guide type.

I will probably also add a control panel—to set things like “I *really* love profession dailies”, “I am an achievement wacko“, or “I do dirty things for rep”—which will help the guide picker know how to weigh the guides.

Anyhow, it will slowly come alive! Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Guide Picker Status

  1. I've converted over most of the guides to the new format.
  2. Some guides are still missing icons or have incorrect level information.
  3. The guide listings in the control panel now display level information using colors and some have implemented tooltips that can give more information about a given guide.

Next on the agenda:

  1. Finish the conversions, correct all the data.
  2. Write the code to prioritize each of the guides according to the user's preferences
  3. Tie it into the guide selector.
  4. If a quest is accepted that is NOT in the current guide, but is in a guide that has been looked at before, offer to switch.

Not sure how to use this thing

Hey so, I've just read this post and a guide picker sounds cool I guess, but it sounds like it's not done yet?  I figured out how to keybind it to something, and when I open it I see this: where everything is blank and I don't seem to be able to select anything.

I can't figure out how to close it (sounds like that's already been covered), and I can't figure out how to manually choose a guide at all now.  I'd like to be able to choose the guide for my new leveling zone before I actually go there so that I can better figure out where to go.

Looking forward to it when it's finished, but it might be nice to have the old guide picker back in the options menu in the meantime.

Ludovicus_Maior's picture

Re: Not sure how to use this thing

The old guide picker is still there.  Just ignore this new experimental stuff.

I just wanted feedback from folks on how it ought to work.

ok, Alt-G would work, but I know you are still working on it, but testing it...

Alt-G opens it, (Chat - Opening WPGS)

Hit Alt-G again, (Chat - Pick Next)

and continuing to press Alt - G moves between the 'buttons', but there is no way to CLOSE it, or move it... ;)

Just my two cents

Ludovicus_Maior's picture

RE: Alt-G

I will add the traditional [X} close button and it will respond to ESC when I figure out again how to shift keyboard focus.

Hitting RETURN should select the icon and if  you hold the mouse over an icon, a tooltip describing the guide should show.

The big task is going to each guide and adding the necessary meta-information.

Ludovicus_Maior's picture

KeyBinding Woes (ALT-TAB to ALT-G)

Sorry about that.  I'll leave the keybinding unbound until its finished up.

I'll drop an update with that today.

I did not mean for that keybinding to escape, because I knew it was problematic.

The keybinding does show up in the regular keybinds control in the "WoW-pro" section, so you should be able to reset it or unbind it.

 I think "ALT-G" will be the next default binding when I get it operational.  Until it is working, it will unbind the key associated with WOWPRO_SELECTOR to undo the mess I caused.

Emmaleah's picture

new feature

I like it, that is one of the drawbacks of the guides (easy switching)  However, um... what if you wanted to ... say ... alt tab to go to your desktop and look up something on wowhead.  I think a differant default hot key would be wiser :).  And whatever it is, should be changable on the key bindings page.  (for people like me who like to be difficult and use "Z" for go down, and whatever other bizare key bindings that drive my family crazy)

Emmaleah == bravely leading the way since ... um a long time ago... Smiling

Yeah I agree ALT-TAB isn't

Yeah I agree ALT-TAB isn't the best choice for a key combo, although I have 2 monitors and can just move my mouse to the other one sometimes I run 2 or more clients at once and need my ALT-TAB for that.

Agreeing that the keybinding is evil

Agreeing that the keybinding needs to be changed. I had to Google this to find out why I couldn't swap to my browser and what it was. It looks nice but until it's changed I can't use it (I will prod around to see if I can change it somewhere).

Ironic Readings, “The Lottery"

Essay by EssaySwap ContributorCollege, Undergraduate February 2008

Shirley Jackson, the author of the short story, "The Lottery," uses the setting to portray an ironic ending to the story. It begins, "The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green" (255). Jackson starts off telling the story by giving the reader a sense of comfort and stability, by creating a typical town to be peaceful and tranquil. When Jackson says, "the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green," she gives the reader a serene feeling about the town (255).

Jackson also mentions that school has just recently let out for summer break, which of course allows the children to run around at that time of day. In her story she states, "Bobby martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones" (255).

By this, she foreshadows what is about to happen in the ending, but doesn't completely give it away. She writes, "The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank" (255). In this case, this sentence proves the smallness of the town, also mentioning that the author didn't include describing a church or a courthouse. Furthermore, there seems to be no central governing body for this town, such as a court or a police station.

The author then starts to talk about the details of the story by what she sees and knows, but not mentioning what is inside of the reader's minds. "The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stoolÃ¢ÂÂ¦" portraying that there is something bad about the black box that is...

Tel: 212-330-0444

X-Pro is the culmination of four years hard work. It was conceived by a small group of lawyers with international experience in the US, UK & Australia. In the course of our work we noticed that hard copy experts' directories were very difficult to use, whilst online directories were often out of date and search options limited.

We asked ourselves what we look for in an expert and unanimously agreed that it was not necessarily an array of impressive qualifications. Better still would be a recommendation from a lawyer who had retained the expert in the past. In our view there was simply no better recommendation than one from a fellow professional.

Experts were consulted, and the feedback obtained largely concurred with this view. Furthermore, many felt that some directories offered poor value for money - they were overpriced and did little more than provide a list. Nothing was produced by the publishers on a regular basis that offered something of value to either expert or lawyer.

X-Pro was therefore born out of a unique perspective - knowing what lawyers wanted and recognising the flaws in what was on offer from our potential competitiors. The core features had to be:

  • Low cost for experts
  • Direct, secure access by experts to their own profile - instantaneous updates
  • Extensive expert profiles with a sound & video options - the first register worldwide to offer this facility
  • Multiple Advanced Search options
  • Lawyer recommendations with email links

    We rely heavily upon your feedback and input - we cannot improve without hearing from you. X-Pro is more than just another register and is a useful interface between legal professionals and experts everywhere.

Yuko Mabuchi Trio Review on Musicalmemoirs Blog

The following review of the Yuko Mabuchi Trio is from the blog “Musicalmemoirs Blog” written by Dee Dee McNeil.

Yarlung Records

Yuko Mabuchi, piano; Del Atkins, bass; Bobby Breton, drums

This live recording is an awe-inspiring work of art. Pianist Yuko Mabuchi is as exciting on recording as she is in person. Here is a production that sparkles with improvisational creativity, energy, and the piano talents of a young and developing super star. Yarlung’s founder first heard the Yuko Mabuchi Trio at Catalina Bar and Grill in Hollywood. The very next day he offered to record their album. This concert was recorded at the USC campus  in Cammilleri Hall. This space is used for master-classes and recitals. It’s the same concert venue designed by Yasuhisa Toyota, where Yarlung previously recorded Sophisticated Lady Jazz Quartet in 2014. Jazz pianist and educator, Billy Mitchell, served as associate producer on this project.

Opening with Cole Porter’s What Is This Thing Called Love, Mabuchi introduces a unique arrangement that showcases her bassist and drummer, as well as accentuating her classical training. She moves from Swing to a Latin tinged arrangement that acts as the perfect platform for Bobby Breton to present his energetic drum solo. I am intrigued with Mabuchi’s piano style. She often sounds like two people are playing piano instead of one, using cross-hand techniques and showing that she is as fluid with her left hand as she is with her right hand. Del Atkins shows himself to be a very melodic bassist, creative and improvisational on his solo. The Mabuchi Trio’s transitions from Swing to Latin are as smooth as velvet. They work in concert and as close as perfectly fitted puzzle pieces.

You can tell this trio has been playing together for some time. Their familiarity offers their listening audience a certain level of comfort. On songs like Valse Noire composed by Mark Louis Lehman, Mabuchi plays with so much emotion and sincerity, I had to stop everything I was doing just so I could give her my entire attention. She plays two-handed “call and response,” toying with the melody. Here is a ballad, once again showing how her technique sounds as though there are four hands at two pianos, instead of one petite and gifted woman poised above the 88-keys. At first, she begins solo. When her band joins in, she digs deep and pulls the blues out of this song, interspersing the arrangement with classical overtones. When the drums and bass drop out once again, the arrangement allows her to successfully solo and familiarize us with the beauty of the melody. This is followed by “Green Dolphin Street,” played nice and easy, with Del Atkins’ bass arrangement holding the trio solidly in place and locking the slow swing tempo solidly with Breton’s tasty drums. Mabuchi rolls atop their rock-solid rhythm section, like sweet butter across a hot pan.

Yuko Mabuchi interprets pop singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles’ composition, Seriously, in a fresh, jazzy way. Then she follows up by creating a medley of Ellington, Jerome Kern and Billy Strayhorn. In celebration of her heritage, she includes a Japanese Medley of Hazy Moon, Cherry Blossom, and Look At the Sky, combining composers Teiichi Okano, Anon, and Hachidai Nakamura. Speaking of composers, she offers us one of her original tunes titled, Sona’s Song and closes with St. Thomas by Sonny Rollins.

This is a soulful CD, combining cultures, like serving grits and gravy with delicious miso soup. This talented lady and her trio are a force of nature that bring musical excellence and energetic excitement to an unforgettable jazz production.

Yeast Infection Medication

When people hear the term yeast infection, they always think that the person infected is “dirty” or has poor personal hygiene care. Others will think of women with yeast-related problem that’s usually related to some sexually transmitted disorders. But yeast is a natural occurrence in both female and male, and in young and adults, too.

Yeast is a type of fungi that can be good or bad. It grows in neutral or acidic environment. Yeast grows in the vagina, rectum, digestive system and mouth. Certain species of yeast, such as candida albicans, is 80% present in human body without causing any harm. But overgrowth of candida yeast can result in infection in the oral and genital parts. Yeast infection symptoms include itching and burning sensation in the affected area, a condition known as candidiasis . It can be seen in the infected oral cavity tissues or thrush, skin and diaper rash, and nailbed infections. However, candidiasis is very common among women but can also occur in some males when their female sexual partners are infected with it.

Over-the-Counter Treatment

Like many fungal infections, yeast infection medication can be bought over-the-counter. For severe yeast infection, prescription drugs will be advised by your doctors.

Single-Dose Oral Antifungal

Some doctors may give you a one-dose of oral antifungal medication like Diflucan with stronger fluconazole formulation to kill the fungus and yeast entirely in your body. Because of the strength of this yeast infection medication, side effects like stomach ache and head aches may occur after taking it. Oral yeast infection drugs are not recommended for pregnant women.

Antifungal Vaginal Creams

Antifungal vaginal creams with steroid can lessen the inflammation, redness and soreness in the vaginal opening and the surrounding vaginal tissue. You can choose from Gyne-Lotrimin or Mycelex, Gynezol or Femstat, Monistat and Vagistat-1.

Suppositories and Tablets

Antifungal suppositories and tablets are also available to ease the discomfort of itchiness and other symptoms of vaginal yeast infection. Clotrimazole and miconazole are the common medications in suppositories and tablets. They are inserted into the vagina and let to dissolve.

Home Remedies

Some over-the-counter remedies can have side effects that you will like to avoid, so you can try home treatment with antifungal properties like garlic and also plain yogurt, apple cider vinegar, cold coconut oil , cinnamon oil,  oil of oregano, and tea tree oil for vaginal douche which can be found in your kitchen. Baking soda is also used to fight thrust or to cure oral yeast infection.

Yeast infection can be worsened by yeast allergy. Being watchful of what you eat will help a lot to discourage the overgrowth of yeast in your body. There are certain types of food to avoid such as sugar and processed food. To boost your natural immunity to infection, fruits and vegetables should always be in your diet to get all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

Because yeast grows rapidly in warm and moist areas of your body, personal hygiene is very important to avoid yeast infection. It is actually your first line of defense if you feel that you have the symptoms of yeast infection. If the infection recurs often, you should see your doctor immediately; it may be a sign of a more serious problem.

Now that you are well-informed of the various treatments for your yeast infection, there is nothing to be ashamed about it. Knowledge is the first step to your cure. Sharing this information with your female friends will be most helpful.

Autumn Yoga Sequence

Autumn is associated with physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation and is a time for letting go and releasing the things that are not serving you. In Traditional Chinese Medicine autumn is the time when the metal element is dominant and the energy in the lung and the large intestine channels become the strongest. Activating these energy channels through upper back bends and arm/shoulder opening poses encourages letting go on the physical and mental/emotional levels. Autumn is also a time when nature starts to pull its energy inwards and this 36-step pose sequence activates the energy of groundedness and inner awareness of this season.

Special Sadhana Intensives
back to workshops

Montreal Yoga Studio - Workshops

The word "sadhana" (SAH-da-na) refers to a yoga practice that consciously invites a connection to spirit.

New dates for Special Sadhanas (extended practices) to be announced...
In the meantime, you can learn more about the 2018 schedule of weekly Mindful Yoga classes on on the registration page , and you can read more about Yoga Nidra here - offered on Sundays once a month and open to everyone, regardless of experience or physical condition.

Mindful Yoga Special Sadhanas

We all can benefit from taking a step back from the demands of daily life, to regroup priorities and energies, and to recharge and deepen our connection to an inherent sense of Wellbeing.

The intention of these indepth, extended classes is to provide a context in which you can enjoy a deep and uninterupted exploration of various practices and themes that you can bring into your daily life.

Past Sadhana Intensives have included:

Exploring Meditation in Movement and Stillness
We crave greater ease, balance and happiness and a sense of wholeness and satisfaction that can feel elusive... this afternoon will explore how meditation in its various forms can offer insight and be an indispensable part of our yogic journey.

Through practice and discussion we will explore the difference between directed, technique-based meditation, and undirected meditation of abiding as Awareness. We will explore the value of each approach, and explore the opportunity to relax the 'project' of meditation — to bring it from being another item on our to-do list into the fabric of our daily living.

We will explore a deep sensing of the body and Awareness through gentle yoga movement, as well as a fully guided yoga nidra. Several of the other meditative practices are simple, illuminating exercises drawn from Vijnana Bhairava, a beautiful text from the nondual teachings of Kashmir Shaivism.

Spring Renewal
After a long Montreal winter, the thaw of spring and returning of green is a natural opportunity to rejuvenate one’s own inner landscape of body, mind and spirit.
In this special yoga intensive, you will be given the time and space to deeply nourish yourself through ancient practices that renew, cleanse and balance our vital energies.

During this three and half hour extended practice, we will
• share in chanting to clear stagnation
• explore warming and cleansing postures in flow and in stillness
• restore and balance vital energies with pranayama
• learn and practice a set of hand mudras that supports the free flow of prana
• experience a full practice of yoga nidra

As we deepen our practice, not only does the wellbeing of our organisms flourish - but our connection to a deeper Stillness flowers.

Sadhana Intensives:  Yoga Movement, Breathing & Yoga Nidra Meditation
In this series of sadhanas we explore a re-orientation of perspective - welcoming ourselves, each moment and each experience exactly as is. In doing so, we cultivate a greater sense of peace in how we live our lives, and a deeper connection to our true nature.

These practices will each include a mindful yoga movements, pranayama (breathing), chanting and a fully guided practice of Yoga Nidra. This series will provide an opportunity to either begin or continue your exploration of yoga nidra meditation.

Awakening Prana: Balance
In this sadhana we will explore yogic techniques to increase and balance the flow of prana (life energy) within, thereby enhancing mental clarity, our own healing potential and a deeper self-understanding.

This afternoon will explore the theme of balance at both a physical and energetic level. The practice will include both energizing and calming postures, warming and cooling breathing techniques and hand mudras to support the free flow of prana.

Balance allows a natural sense of inner stillness and connection to surface to awareness. The session will conclude with silent meditation and deep relaxation.

Welcoming Presence: A meditative practice of movement, breath, chanting and stillness
Most of the time we are lost in the noise created by the ups and downs of our own lives, and much of our energy is spent agonizing over the way things ‘should be.’ All too often when we come to our yoga mats we bring this orientation of striving, achieving, and judging into our personal practices.

This special practice session will include slow, mindful movements as well as breathing, devotional chanting, yoga nidra and the stillness of seated meditation.

Exploring Pratyahara in a Blindfolded Practice and Yoga Nidra
"Pratyahara" is the practice of turning the attention inward and transcending sensory impressions. This practice is guided by the teaching that underneath the drama of our lives and our identity with our ego-selves, lies our true nature - pure Presence. When we dive into the spaciousness within, we open to the experience of our true selves.

Each practitioner will have an opportunity to practice blindfolded, to dive more deeply into the internal experience of movement and breathing techniques. During the final hour of the sadhana, you will be introduced and guided through an experience of yoga nidra. Yoga nidra is an ancient system of progressive relaxation and self-inquiry.

Svadhyaya in Asana and Meditation Practice
In this sadhana we explore the niyama 'svadhyaya' (self-reflection or self-study) in the form of guided reflections concerning your life direction and highest goals. This yoga practice will invite positive change in your life off the mat. The afternoon will include an in-depth asana practice, which will be punctuated by pranayama practice and guided meditative self-inquiry. The session will conclude with a deep relaxation.

Welcoming the New Year, Welcoming Authenticity
The emphasis of this extended practice will be on coming into greater alignment with your authentic self - both on the mat during your practice and off the mat in your daily life. This practice supports cultivating a trust in oneself as the final authority in regards to the decisions we make and actions we take, and ultimately how we view our place in the universe.

Monetary Donations Accepted to Assist with Yolo County Shelter Operations

Post Date:02/13/2017 5:52 PM

Press Release

(Woodland, CA) – Yolo County is accepting monetary donations to assist with shelter operations for those affected by the Oroville Dam spillway evacuation. Donations can be made online at or, or via check or money order at Yolo County Housing, 147 W. Main Street, Woodland, CA 95695. All donations received at this time will be used to assist with shelter operations, i.e. food, water, diapers, toiletries, bedding, etc.

Due to concerns about the integrity of the Oroville Dam spillway, evacuations from surrounding areas prompted Yolo County to open a shelter at the Yolo County Fairgrounds last night. As of this morning, approximately 300 people were being sheltered with that number anticipated to possibly double. The evacuation order is still in effect and the length of the order is yet to be determined.

To assist with providing for the needs of those being sheltered, Yolo County has partnered with Yolo County Housing to receive monetary donations. New Hope Community Development Corporation is a 501(c)3 non-profit and a subsidiary of Yolo County Housing. Additionally, many local businesses have provided food and supplies for this effort.

For those evacuated, the Yolo County Fairgrounds, located at 1250 East Gum Avenue in Woodland, can be reached via Interstate-5: take exit 537 for Main Street; turn left on E. Main Street; turn left on East Street; turn left on E. Gum Avenue.

The Yolo County emergency shelter at the fairgrounds is ADA accessible. Residents may bring dogs on leash and cats in crates. The fairgrounds, however, is not able to house livestock at this time. Evacuees are encouraged to bring their medications and clothing. While bedding and toiletries are being provided, those are recommended as well.

Yolo 2-1-1 is a resource for evacuees with questions about the Yolo County emergency shelter. General information for evacuees can be found at (select Disaster Response) or by dialing 2-1-1.

While Yolo County is not expected to be impacted by a possible release of flood waters, Yolo County officials continue to closely monitor the situation as well as waterways throughout the county.

With Self Hypnosis, I no longer have to suffer the residual pain, after the Novacaine wears off.

Self Hypnosis Works for Major Surgery Too!

I, and others have used Self Hypnosis prior to major surgery to prepare my body for the procedure (in detail). I had no pain upon regaining consciousness in the recovery room, the nurses could not understand why I did not need pain meds, even after I told them about my Self Hypnosis.

I Never Said FG Doesn't Know Who Will Sign 2017 Budget - Lai Mohammed

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has reacted to media reports alleging he said that the Federal government does not know who will sign the 2017 budget. After the Federal Executive Council meeting today, some state house correspondents asked him questions regarding who would sign the 2017 budget.

According to Mohammed, the only response he gave was that when the budget is passed to the Executive from the National Assembly, the issue will be addressed. Some media houses interpreted his statement to mean the Federal government has no one to sign the budget. Lai denied the speculation in a statement released this evening. Read the statement below...

Our attention has been drawn to a story in a section of the media quoting the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, as saying ''we don't know who will sign the 2017 budget''. This quote is a malicious misrepresentation of what transpired at the post-Federal Executive Council Meeting press briefing on Wednesday, 17 May 2017. When the Minister was asked a question relating to the signing of the 2017 Budget, his response was: ''When it is transmitted to the Presidency, the issue will be addressed.'' Anything beyond that response amounts to deliberate mischief and should be ignored.
