I am not one to flaunt and celebrate and make a big deal out of my birthday. I don’t want to draw attention to myself, and it’s definitely not my birthday “month” to make the shenanigans last even longer. In fact, I don’t even have it on my social media pages ON PURPOSE, so don’t …
I believe I had been practicing Mysore style Ashtanga Yoga for about 5 months when school started up again in the fall for my kids. I had been blissfully practicing in the studio three days a week that summer and arriving back home casually around 8:30. Swim practice didn’t start until 10:00 which gave me …
I’m cheap and I didn’t buy ANY CURRICULUM! If you are a veteran homeschool parent and are cringing as you read this, sorry. I knew we weren’t in this for the long haul and I also didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I also didn’t want to “waste” weeks / months trying things …

In case you couldn’t tell by the name of my business (Power in Breath Yoga) I’m a little obsessed with the breath — which is why I am SO excited about today’s topic. Pranayama is the 4th of the eight limbs and includes all of the breath control practices of yoga. If you want to …
My husband, for his business, uses software called Asana. The software is designed to help companies organize work flow and project management.
