Each day you do two very specific and important things. You get up in the morning, and you lay back down at night. Meaning, eight hours (ideally eight! aim for eight! sleep is king!) of each and every 24 hour time period you are laying on your back or side. Why is this? Why are we designed to sleep this way? The answer is in the nervous system. When you bring yourself supine, to your back, some amazing things start happening to your nervous system. Immediately your breathing relaxes, your inhales and exhales lengthening. Your heart rate also starts to...

Yoga is a foundation you create. With consistent practice, it is a foundation that gives you the incredible gift of stability both in your inner and outer worlds. Whether you practice power vinyasa, yin yoga, gentle yoga, simple meditation and movement, or one of the hundreds of styles of yoga out there today, the more you show up for your practice, the more your practice will show up for you. Contrite, but true! In an unexpected moment where you start to loose your balance, if you have been maintaining a regular yoga practice for even just a few months, your...

I read a quote recently: "If you get tired, learn to rest, not quit." Oh how this hit home. There is this misconception that yoga teachers have it all 'figured out'. Ha. That's a joke. No one has their shit all the way together. No one, not even the Dali Lama. The most 'woke' among us will attest to this. In fact, you'll know exactly when to call bullshit if some 'leader' or 'guide' claims to experience no negative emotion. Because that's simply opposite of our purpose here on Earth, in this physical experience, which is to learn. We only...

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince One of the most beautiful things about yoga is that it gives you a way to connect with your heart. It starts simply. Just with awareness. Awareness of your heart. For example, when was the last time you really felt your heart beat? It's pretty amazing what the rest of your body (and your breath) will do when you listen in to that space. Go ahead,...

Warm Yin Yoga. Warm milk and a fresh baked cookie, chocolate chips still gooey. Warm bed with a massage with warm hands after a long day of everything. These are one in the same. I knew Yin was good, I knew warm yin was even better. But I didn’t know how good. Until last week that is. It had been quite a day, all of the responsibilities of life seemed to coalesce into a haze of pressure and I was close to cracking under the weight of it all. But it was also the day that I had decided I would...
