Inversions are such a gift to your body, mind, spirit, and especially blood flow. There is magic that happens when you go upside down. Whether completely in a headstand, forearm stand, or handstand, or simple hips above heart such as in the powerhouse of a pose known as Shoulder Stand, known in sanskrit as Sarvangasana Many teachers are uncomfortable teaching inversions, and avoid them for fear of potentially inviting the possibility of injury into their classroom. However this only causes more risk to the student, of missing the incredible balancing benefits of inversions. It is well worth the time and...

In the very center of your body, echoing all the highs and lows of your life, lovingly embraced and supported by your left lung, is the electromagnetic power-house of your heart. This is a really special part of your body. Groundbreaking research by scientific establishments like the Heart Math Institute are proving this. Did you know that your heart projects an electromagnetic field up to eight feet around your body? And that this energy field (which can be easily measured) actually communicates to those around you how you are feeling? That’s right, simply by the energy of your heart, whether...

Not always the easiest place to get to alone however. This is where yoga can become a game changer. Especially with yoga styles that focus on tuning you into and aligning your subtle energy body. Restorative yoga does exactly this. As does yin. Through the most gentle of movements and longest moments of...

Bliss on the beach. How does a flow of guided movement that brings you to a state of bliss on the sands of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world constitute dharma? Simple. It’s donated-based! Dharma is a concept both in Hinduism and Buddhism and there are many interpretations of the term. In Indic traditions, Dharma is a concept that includes multiple aspects, including ethics, duty, cosmic order, law, and the spiritual path. Our Studio Yooga family connects to this concept and practice through our understanding that while we have so very much to both be thankful for...

There is a saying, “Yoga is like a single tree, with hundreds if not thousands of different limbs.” Personally, I would go so far as to say Yoga indeed may be a single tree, but it is more like the Great Banyan Tree in the Acharya Jagadish Bose Botanical Garden near Calcutta in India. Over 250 years old and covering around 3.5 acres of land, it is the widest tree in the world. When you see it, you would think that it is a dense forest not just a single tree. I find this analogy to be far more accurately...
