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
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
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...]
Sh*t Happens, So Be In It
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...]
Silence is Golden (sutra 1.49)
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 Buiness of Yoga (part 2)
Let me state upfront: This is all about YOU. My intention in sharing this "business of yoga" jazz is to simply offer you what's worked for me. Period. It is not to say what I'm doing will work for you, or is even right for you. In many ways I consider how I'm sharing these yoga biz tips to be similar to how I teach yoga to my private yoga students and corporate yoga clients...I'm just offering guidance through the process/class of yoga postures. It's up to you to dig deep and listen to … [Read more...]
