As a yoga student, what part of the practice has challenged you the most - the physical movements or the simple act of being present on the mat?
Recently, an influx of new but seasoned yoga students have started joining my classes. I am thrilled to see new faces as it is always exciting to connect with other yogis and yoginis.
Often, these students will ask which of my classes is the...
I began studying Reiki and energy healing well over ten years ago. At first, I was really skeptical. I just didn’t see how someone placing their hands on me would have ANY healing benefits, much less MANY healing benefits. But I have always been open-minded and willing to try new things.

I struggled every day with fear, needing to hold on tightly to everything external...
For years, I had this wonderful woman in my yoga classes. She participated in everything, from my restorative classes to my powerful vinyasa classes. She always seemed so young for her age and, as an avid yogini, golfer, and jogger, she stayed very physically fit.
Then a few years ago, she came to my Tuesday evening hatha class, in which she was a regular. I noticed that she was having some difficulty balancing...
I was wandering through the bookstore the other day and came across an excellent book called “The World’s Healthiest Foods,” by George Mateljan. I don’t consider myself knowledgeable in food at all.

I’m sensitive. My body, I mean. Fast food, alcohol…can’t do ’em like I used to. One thing that has really surprised me is that I’m more aware of keeping hydrated. When I don’t have enough water, my eyes dry out and feel tired. (more…)
Warning: This blog post deals with the “woman’s cycle.” Guys, if you don’t feel like reading it, I totally understand, but if you want a taste of why women get so irritated during that time, then read on. Hopefully it will provide you with a better understanding of what we women go through. (more…) |
