I get gut feelings. A lot. When I meet someone, I can tell within 30 seconds of meeting them if I should trust them or not. I easily sense how people are feeling, especially when I’m close to t...
When I started practicing yoga, I did it at home. There wasn’t a class on every corner like there is today. But the main reason I did it is that even the idea of going to a class made me feel r...
Well, my body has spoken — again. And, unfortunately, it had to use a megaphone instead of a whisper. Since I began working from home about nine months ago, I’ve been spending a considera...

When I began practicing yoga, I didn’t have a community. I primarily practiced on my own at home. And when I did venture out to class, I tried not to make much eye contact with people. I didn&#...
Don’t you just love talking with friends about yoga? I sure do! (I’m sure that’s really big news to all of you, right?) I had a great conversation with a friend recently about how t...
“Let go. Be bold. Unfold.” I recently heard Flora Bowley share these keys to the creative process in an interview. Now, Flora is a painter. And I have pretty much automatic respect for an...
I’ve had a flirtation for about a year now. It’s a wild one, lemme tell ya. Want me to fill you in on what it is? Okay, you twisted my arm: it’s with embodiment. Even racier than yo...

I set my pinky toe down the other day. And you woulda thought I’d created the first car that flies given how excited I was. But here’s the funny thing: I hadn’t realized I wasn̵...

I’m a huge fan of Yoga International magazine, and I’ve also loved Linda Sparrowe’s beautiful books on yoga for quite some time. So when I saw that the two were joining forces (Lind...
Have you ever had a yoga pose you just can’t seem to get for the life of you? No? Oh, okay; me, either. So since we’ve both always totally gotten every pose automatically, let’s ima...
I really need a Sherlock Holmes cap. Don’t you? It seems like the perfect complement to every outfit — especially when you’re following a lead, trailing a clue, hoping to solve a my...
I’ve had a similar conversation with at least five different people over the past few months. And whenever that happens, I figure it’s probably for a reason. The conversation centers around how yoga ...
As you may know, I found myself on a diet late last year. And after lots of great support from fabulous friends, I finally let go of beating myself up about it. In fact, I’m now (at least a lit...
