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...]
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...]
The Business of Yoga (part 3)
Part of the fun of being a small business owner is every single day is different. And as much as I am in control of my own schedule, sometimes I'm just not. Running a business forces you to learn how to literally "go with the flow." For instance, this morning I had a private yoga client cancel which opened up time for me to blog. After this, I'll head into Washington, DC (in the pouring rain) and teach a corporate yoga class. I love what I do. I also love that on Fridays my day is done by … [Read more...]
How I Love Teaching Office Yoga
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)
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...]
