Change Your Personal Story In The New Year
As another year is coming to a close. It's a good time to reflect on the past year and set an intention for the year to come. Typically people set goals around physical health and fitness, and ‘bucket list’ items to tick off. If you're reading this blog, chances are...
Redefine Self-Care And Take Action
It’s the holiday season! For most people, I know this can mean an increase in busy-ness with holiday parties, gifts to be bought, trying to wrap up the year. For some, it’s difficult due to lost loved ones or maybe past holidays weren’t filled with positive memories....
Yoga Wisdom From Every Day Life
Cultivating a calm mind isn’t something that you ‘do.’ It’s a process that happens over time with consistent practice. Practice isn’t isolated to something that you schedule into your day or week. It’s not isolated to a mat or cushion. In fact, cultivating a calm mind...
Yoga, Emotions, and Hot Air Balloons
No, I am not writing about a ‘new’ way to practice yoga poses. I just saw some beautiful photos of hot air balloons and my mind thought about energy and emotions. It was a helpful shift for me to think about emotions as Energy in Motion. (A concept I learned from my...

Yoga Leads Us Through Confusion
There’s so much information out there at our fingertips 24 hours a day, yet it’s created more confusion than ever. It’s hard to know what information is fact-based, what is opinion, what’s been ‘spun’ for specific interests. Leading busy lives doesn’t leave a lot of...
