Sage Rountree will present her new books: the revised edition of The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery, 2nd ed and The Art of Yoga Sequencing. The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery is an invaluable guide to help athletes maximize training gains by making the most of their recovery time. Recovery—physical and mental—is a red-hot topic, and the worlds of sports, technology, and commerce have all taken note. But which practices and devices really make a difference in recovery, and which should be avoided? What will truly maximize performance? Emphasizing the fundamentals of sleep, nutrition, and stress management, this second edition features up-to-date research that has emerged to support the importance of these basic recovery strategies and includes a much-needed, careful look at new devices on the market. Whether self-coached, coached, or team-sport athletes, The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery provides readers with an evidence-based approach to finding the right balance between stress and rest. The Art of Yoga Sequencing is an inclusive guide for yoga teachers and practitioners to create balanced movement sequences and well-rounded classes for all students. Rountree’s approach to teaching grows from a simple truth: bodies feel better when they move in many different ways and directions. And when they feel better, they work to make the world a freer, more liberated place. But in a social-media fueled yoga scene that over-celebrates acrobatic, unrealistic poses, it’s easy for even the most experienced instructor to lose touch with their students. The fix is clear: Real students need simple lessons taught clearly. Yoga teacher, trainer, and bestselling author Sage Rountree draws on years of expert experience to offer a fresh, contemporary approach to yoga sequencing and mindful movement that reflects the diversity and meets the needs of the modern yogi. Sage Rountree, PhD, is the preeminent authority in yoga for athletes, a […]

W. M. Hewitt Pottery is delighted to announce an exhibition to be held in conjunction with @nceca @nceca.rva “Thrown Together: Tradition, Apprenticeship, and Individualism,” March 19-23, 2024 in Richmond, VA. Details and concept at thrown-togetherdotcom. The show will include @markhewittpottery @mattjonespotter @danieljohnstonpottery Alex Matisse @eastforkpottery @josephsandpottery @okeefepottery and @the_barefoot_potter Here’s a brief outline: During the last forty years a group of potters in North Carolina has coalesced to reimagine a venerable regional American tradition by realigning it with elements of the Mingei Movement, contemporary studio pottery, and industrial practice. Mark Hewitt and his North Carolina based former apprentices continue to improvise within a vibrant Southern aesthetic. Please check the event's website for details.

The definitive, authorized, and first-ever biography of Terry Allen, the internationally acclaimed visual artist and iconoclastic songwriter who occupies an utterly unique position straddling the disparate, and usually distant, worlds of conceptual art and country music. "People tell me it's country music," Terry Allen has joked, "and I ask, 'Which country?'" For nearly sixty years, Allen's inimitable art has explored the borderlands of memory, crossing boundaries between disciplines and audiences by conjuring indelible stories out of the howling West Texas wind. In Truckload of Art, author Brendan Greaves exhaustively traces the influences that shaped Allen's extraordinary life, from his childhood in Lubbock, Texas, spent ringside and sidestage at the wrestling matches and concerts his father promoted, to his formative art-school years in incendiary 1960s Los Angeles, and through subsequent decades doggedly pursuing his uncompromising artistic vision. With humor and critical acumen, Greaves deftly recounts how Allen built a career and cult following with pioneering independent records like Lubbock (on everything) (1979)--widely considered an archetype of alternative country--and multiyear, multimedia bodies of richly narrative, interconnected art and theatrical works, including JUAREZ (ongoing since 1968), hailed as among the most significant statements in the history of American vernacular music and conceptual art. Drawing on hundreds of revealing interviews with Allen himself, his family members, and his many notable friends, colleagues, and collaborators--from musicians like David Byrne and Kurt Vile to artists such as Bruce Nauman and Kiki Smith--and informed by unprecedented access to the artist's home, studio, journals, and archives, Greaves offers a poetic, deeply personal portrait of arguably the most singularly multivalent storyteller of the American West. Brendan Greaves is founder and owner of the record label Paradise of Bachelors and has collaborated on numerous projects with Terry Allen, including Pedal Steal + Four Corners, for which he earned a Grammy […]
