Sh*t Happens, So Be In It

May 23, 2013 By Melody

For those of you that know me, this blog post title is probably a surprise.  For those of you that don't know me well, let me state upfront I don't curse (well at least not 99.9% of the time).  Thanks to my parents & grandparents, I'm just not a fan of it.  Though I'm sure we can all admit every now and then it's appropriate because every now and then sh*t happens! Stuff happens all the time, right?  You've made it through airport security and you find out your flight is delayed 3 hours, … [Read more...]

How I Love Teaching Office Yoga

March 31, 2013 By Melody

Last week I was grateful to teach a series of office yoga sessions for a huge global real estate company with several DC locations as part of their employee health & wellness program.  After spending three days in a row in Bethesda (Tues), Washington, DC (Wed) and Tysons Corner (Thurs) teaching the benefits of yogic breathing and movement (yoga asana) in conference rooms, I realized a few things: Yoga is accessible to everyone, anywhere, anytime.  In these office yoga sessions I actually … [Read more...]

Silence is Golden (sutra 1.49)

March 14, 2013 By Melody

Every winter for a solid week my husband and I travel West (this year Snowmass/Aspen, CO) for our annual ski trip.  The thing is I don't ski anymore.  I get many looks and shocking responses when I tell people this.  People further probe "don't you get bored?" or "what do you do all week?" Honestly it's the perfect vacation.  Trading the hustle & bustle of the Washington, DC area for the beauty of the snow-covered mountains and fresh crisp air is a welcomed change.  I unplug about 90% of … [Read more...]

The Only Constant: Change

September 10, 2011 By Melody

"I'm coaching you to dance with the one constant in life:  change.  Do you choose stagnation or the unknown?  Every choice you make can propel you toward change or keep you in the same dulling, suffocating box.  Change is rebirth.  When a caterpillar weaves herself into a chrysalis and undergoes metamorphosis, she emerges as a butterfly, bearing only the merest resemblance to her earlier form.  Transformation can be really exciting, but we have to tolerate an incredible period of vulnerability … [Read more...]

yAY YogA!

June 8, 2011 By Melody

It's no secret I practice yoga asana a lot.  On a good week I hit the mat 6 days to enjoy my personal yoga practice.  On an off week, I may only get to it 5 times. Sure there are days I don't feel like practicing but I know time on my sticky mat, even if it's only a mini-session of 20-30 minutes, will shift my energy, clear my mind and support my teaching.  There are also times when I'm presented with sweet surprises in the midst of my practice session - such as when I explore/fool around in a … [Read more...]

Yoga All the Time

May 25, 2011 By Melody

After my sweaty yoga practice yesterday morning at Down Dog, I headed straight to a small business lending workshop in Arlington.  Suits surrounded me and there I stood in my professional yoga teacher uniform - black lululemon groove pants, blue canoe twist top and abellaYoga shirt.  Not the point of this blog post, but I do love how I can go straight from a sweaty yoga outfit into a non-sweaty one and get away with it since it's my profession :) Anyway as typical for a breakfast event, it … [Read more...]
