Mymom called me the other night. She gets together with this awesomegroup of women who have the most incredible parties. Their big one isin June, and it’s called Estrofest…it’s quite an extravaganza. Anyway,they are having a “Goddess Party” this weekend and she, and mysis-in-law, were asking for some ideas for goddesses. I was just goingto [...]

This is a beautiful and inspirational story about yoga and the positive impact in can make on our lives. This guy is my hero! I’m telling you, if we all did one hour of pranayama each day we would live in radiant health forever.

“Stop trying to be perfect…stop trying to be a saint. Just stoooop! Ok? Have some fun! Stop trying to be perfect, and make a mess…make a big mess!“
When I was at Yoga Teacher Training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health this was my favorite thing to hear, and I got to hear it, [...]
Kripalu Yoga: Exploring the Yoga of Life

I am a Kripalu Yoga teacher, so I know I am biased, but I really think the Kripalu tradition is one of the most accessible and compassion-centered approaches to yoga.
If you are new to yoga, or just don’t know about Kripalu Yoga, the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health Website is a great place to [...]

A reader request…this one’s for you K…
OK, no really, it’s called Child’s Pose (or, Garbhasana in Sanskrit). But, some of my awesome students back in Houston sort of inadvertently renamed it “Child’s Play,” and the name has stuck.

Standing on your own two feet sounds like one of the simplest of tasks, but it is something I find challenging my students again, and again. Making contact with the ground in a firm and balanced way doesn’t always happen automatically for a number of reasons.
Firstly, we all have our own habitual ways of standing, [...]

Another Monday Mantra…on Tuesday. Do you think the Universe is trying to tell me something? Honestly, I tried to carve out a bit of time yesterday for this post, but it just didn’t happen. Mondays are always just so busy. But, I love it, because the Universe does have a sense of [...]
