I awake today and sit enjoying the silence of the morning. Even as I sit, I’m watching the bright morning sun dance its procession around my front room. It is playing with the crystal hung in my eastern window and splattering rainbow prisms across each wall. Even as I look, the color changes and fades, […]
There is a part of you that just knows. Call it intuition. Call it your gut feeling. Call it your inner-guru. Call it what you want but I’d wager that sometime or other we’ve all had an experience that feels like we’ve tapped into some deeper wisdom within ourselves. Sometimes information or something a friend […]
I’m struck by the wisdom of Kenny Rogers when he croons, “You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em . . . ” (lyrics are actually by Don Schlitz). He’s pointing to the fact that you need to know when to let things go and when to keep them alive. […]
There is a part of you that just knows. Call it intuition. Call it your gut feeling. Call it your inner-guru. Call it what you want but I’d wager that sometime or other we’ve all had an experience that feels like we’ve tapped into some deeper wisdom within ourselves. We have more control over this […]
I used to own two yoga studios. As anyone owning a small business might attest, during the years that I owned those studios, I fought every day just to keep the doors open. Eventually, we had to close our doors; the studios weren’t sustainable. Of course I wish I knew then what I know now […]
Before I declared English as my major in college, I took a few business classes. And even though I didn’t stick with business, in those courses I learned some crucial lessons which I’d use my entire life. Perhaps the most important thing I learned in all of my college courses was an equation for success, […]
Psyche and Eros What can mythology teach us about when life throws you a curve and you find a wonderful solution, only to discover that it’s not so perfect after all? Greek myth says that long, long ago, there was a woman named Psyche who was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. In fact, […]
I’ve had the great pleasure of leading mindfulness and yoga retreats at Wild Heart Horse Sanctuary, a sanctuary that houses rescues wild mustangs. Sonya Richins is a wonderful woman with an enormous heart and limitless energy to devote to saving these beautiful animals. At the sanctuary, we experience “horse medicine” which teaches us volumes about […]
Yoga is a lot of things. It’s an art, it’s a philosophy and mode of spirituality, it’s a type of therapy. But perhaps more than any of these yoga is a science. Science is often misunderstood as a bundle of facts—information that has been proven and is now called Truth. But science isn’t that at […]
People often assume that because I teach yoga I never get stressed. I assure you, nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve co-taught Yoga for Anxiety courses, not because I never get stressed, but because sometimes I freak out too and sometimes I use the tools yoga has taught me to help me manage […]
The very first yoga class I ever attended, I came out of there saying—rather asking— myself, what was that?! Yoga was physical but had a meditative, even spiritual quality to it, despite the clanking of the weights and heavy metal blaring in the other room of the gym. It cultivated calm while doing some intense […]
Today I want to talk about music, specifically how music makes people resonate together in a way that mirrors the essence of yoga. The the practice of yoga is to yoke body/mind/spirit individually on our way to understanding the way we belong to the entire universe. And whether we think of it as yoga or […]
We all hear about the benefits of mindfulness meditation but if you’ve never done it before where do you start? There are hundreds of styles of meditation. Plus, sometimes, meditation just feels hard. I mean what are you supposed to do anyway, right? Do you ever feel your mind wanters too much to meditate? Plus, […]
Understanding and practicing Tantra, an ancient practice and school of thought, is an excellent method to learn how to master your prana. When you master your prana, your entire life will shoot to an 11!
What if our soul is, as poet Mary Oliver says, “pure light that shines where no one is”? In her poem conveniently titled Poem, Mary Oliver speaks to the notion of the soul like this: “Airy and shapeless thing,/ it needs/ the metaphor of the body. . . to be understood/ to be more than […]
