Real Life Meditation

February 2, 2015 By Melody

I recently tweeted "I love when people say they don't have time to #meditate.  Get this: there are 1,440 min/day & 5 min is just .03% of the day. #breathe" Whether you live in a city like Washington, DC or not, most of us live in a chaotic world.  Remember "back in the day" when technology was touted as a way to make life easier?  In some ways it has offered many conveniences  (my favorite is I can deposit checks via my phone).  The drawback is people are ON 24/7 which means their minds … [Read more...]

Yoga Secrets – in the heart of NYC

May 21, 2014 By Melody

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...]

Moderation is Key

May 1, 2014 By Melody

At least twice a year I recommit to stop buying books on Amazon.com and instead read one of the many I already own (and this is one of those times!).  Regardless of this commitment, almost daily I pick up one of my many versions of either The Yoga Sutras or The Bhagavad Gita - both are key if you wish to delve deep into the philosophical heart of yoga. So while the rain poured and poured outside this morning, I huddled reading a few slokas (aka verses) of my favorite version of The Bhagavad … [Read more...]

Taking a Break

March 27, 2014 By Melody

As a small business owner (i.e. 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 clients find another instructor?" and "Aren't you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?" Honestly, I'm always baffled by this type of question  Part of a yoga teacher's job is to help people feel better.  Better is a simple term for a world of sensations such as healthy, grounded, energized, … [Read more...]

Kindness All Ways, Always

November 7, 2013 By Melody

We are taught as children to be always be kind to others.  Play nice always.  Share your toys and snacks always.  Always help others in need.  Yet somewhere along the way to adulthood, many of us fall off the kindness track.  Expressions such as "please" and "thank you" are no longer the norm, they seem to be the exception.  Why is that? Maybe it's in the drive to succeed in life, to get ahead, that we forget (or elect to forget) the manners of "kindness all ways, always" that our parents, … [Read more...]

Anywhere, Anytime

July 30, 2013 By Melody

A few nights ago I had the pleasure of teaching yoga outside to a local Mom's group.  For a summer evening, the weather was perfect!  The sky was clear and it was much cooler than the usual Washington, DC hot, humid nights we've been accustomed to lately.  The location for the yoga class was amazing - Fort Hunt Park in Alexandria, VA which is a historic spot about 10 miles from DC.  There were 9 of us enjoying the lush green space and open sky. For me it was a nice reminder the beauty of yoga … [Read more...]
