I broke up with a student today. Okay, not really, but kind of. This particular student WANTS to incorporate yoga into her life. And honestly, she already LIVES her yoga. She was looking to me and my teaching to incorporate the physical part of her practice into her very busy schedule. We set up a …
I had 3 pages of this blog post written already a few weeks ago (I know, you’re shocked that I could possibly be so wordy). But over the past few weeks I have shifted gears completely and we are heading in a direction that was completely unplanned. And it’s a good thing. But it also …
Okay, okay, I don’t think most yoga teachers are INTENTIONALLY being dishonest. However, I think some of us have bad habits when cueing movement related to the pelvis. We’re about to take a deep dive into all things related to your hips, but first we need to take a look at the pelvis, to understand …
Happy New Year Everyone! Phew, and what a start we have had. So far, 2022 seems to be a continuation of all things 2020 and 2021. Like many of you, I have some goals and resolutions for this year. And I’ll be honest, some of them are to simply re-establish good habits that I have …

With the upcoming series: Yoga Where You Are burning in my brain, I wanted to go back to a few posts that I wrote earlier in the year. In part to share with those of you considering taking the course, but also as a reminder that yoga is not just a physical practice. It’s also …
In last week’s post (I am the Grinch) I shared a conversation with my husband about different types of anxiety, which led me down a path thinking about ways to KEEP the calm rather than have to restore it. Sort of like the old adage, “prevention is the best medicine,” I think self care works …
I am grateful for a husband who makes me talk. That is a hard sentence to write and impossible to say out loud. Even as I’m typing it, I’m not 100% positive I believe it. Perhaps if I say it enough times it will make it true. He has good intentions. I am an introvert …
The 30 Days of gratitude challenge hasn’t been particularly difficult or taxing for me. I do spend a few more minutes each day actually writing down my thoughts.
