As a small business owner (aka full-time traveling yoga teacher), I’m often asked “How are you able to take vacation?” Or sometimes it sounds like “Won’t your office yoga /corporate yoga clients find another instructor?” and “Aren’t you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?” A huge part of the Business of Yoga is taking care of you! Honestly, I’m always baffled by these types of question Part of a yoga teacher’s job is to help people feel better. Better is a simple term for … [Read more...]
Yoga Secrets – in the heart of NYC
After spending this past weekend with Sri Dharma Mittra, I am convinced there is no reason to travel to India or some far away land to experience the best of yoga. Teaching yoga since 1967, Sri Dharma founded the first independent school of yoga in NYC in 1975 and is known internationally as the "Teachers' Teacher". Smack in the heart of Manhattan, he has been sharing the secrets of success not just in yoga but in life. As he stated on Sunday, there are just four things you need to do to … [Read more...]

My recent observation is people are treating yoga teacher trainings like college degrees: you graduate with a Bachelor's degree and then … [Read more...]
No Expectations, No Coincidences
In the last few weeks I received emails from a few publishing houses & PR firms asking if I'd be interested in reviewing some of their clients' yoga books. Though my reading list for the new year is already full, I figured maybe (just maybe) one of these books might inspire me to hop back onto my blog which I've clearly neglected the last couple months. So I graciously accepted the offers stating I would add each book to my 2014 reading list. Well here it is - and the best part is the … [Read more...]
The Real Deal: Sri Dharma Mittra
A little over two weeks ago I had just returned from NYC after spending 8 solid days there immersed in an 800-hour yoga teacher training with Sri Dharma Mittra. Yes, even though I'm a professional yoga teacher I still continue to study yoga and attend yoga teacher trainings...another blog post, at another time. Anyway, many knew this was my "big training" for the year so immediately upon reconnecting to life, friends, family, teaching, etc. several people naturally asked "so how was it?!?" … [Read more...]
