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...]

No Expectations, No Coincidences

January 7, 2014 By Melody

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...]

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...]

The Real Deal: Sri Dharma Mittra

August 30, 2013 By Melody

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...]

Warning: Slow Down

July 19, 2013 By Melody

Other than your yoga teacher or local police officer, no one in today's world really sincerely says SLOW DOWN.  Life is moving at such a fast pace.  How does one keep up?  Personally, just yesterday it seemed like May and now we're more than halfway through July/summer.  People barely say please, thank you or even hold the door as you walk-in behind them entering Starbucks. Technology was once touted back in the 90's as the way to make life simpler.  Unfortunately, I think it's made life more … [Read more...]
