New Year’s Resolutions: Simple & Steady

January 1, 2015 By Melody

As always my beloved teacher Sri Dharma Mittra shares words of wisdom to help guide us as we enter a new year.  Whatever your resolution(s) for 2015, consider two key pillars to helping you stay on track:  simplicity and consistency . Don't overwhelm yourself with multiple new year's resolutions.  Pick one or two vs. five, six or seven.  Make a small commitment and stick to it.  Be consistent in your effort and always strive to do your best in every situation.  Read on... New Year's … [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...]

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...]

Karma Yarma Smarma

September 29, 2012 By Melody

No, the title of this post is not Sanskrit for something particular or grand.  It's simply me being frustrated with myself for not fully understanding karma.  I realized today (after pondering this topic the entire month of September & not posting a single thought about it) that maybe that's the point of karma. As with many of the yoga sutras & other yoga philosophy, they're often easier to read about and get vs. live.  Further try to apply them in full-blown action and whoa! life wakes … [Read more...]

Being Yoga (sutra 2.2 – 2.9)

April 1, 2012 By Melody

With yoga studios popping up on every corner in Washington, DC and Arlington, VA these days, there's definitely a lot of talk about going to yoga.  Jump online or open a magazine and you are sure to find  talk about doing yoga.  Stand in the midst of voices buzzing at your local coffee shop and you'll hear people chatting "Do you do yoga?  I do yoga.  I'm going to yoga.  I went to yoga."  Blah, blah, blah. On my morning dog walk yesterday it hit me that I don't do yoga and I surely don't go to … [Read more...]

Keep Rolling (sutra 1.13)

March 24, 2012 By Melody

Effort toward steadiness is practice.  sutra 1.13 I get this sutra when it comes to asana practice.  I get this sutra when it comes to mountain biking, running and tackling my vision board/goals.  What I hadn't quite applied it to until now is my writing.  In order for my blogging to be consistent, my journaling needs to be consistent.  Daily --- just a like a daily asana practice. The Yoga Sutras weren't shared thousands of years ago in reference to writing or mountain biking but here's the … [Read more...]
