Taking a Break

March 27, 2014 By Melody

As a small business owner (i.e. full-time traveling yoga teacher), I'm often asked "How are you able to take vacation?"  Or sometimes it sounds like "Won't your office yoga /corporate clients find another instructor?" and "Aren't you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?" Honestly, I'm always baffled by this type of question  Part of a yoga teacher's job is to help people feel better.  Better is a simple term for a world of sensations such as healthy, grounded, energized, … [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...]

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 Buiness of Yoga (part 2)

February 28, 2013 By Melody

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...]
