I’m sitting at my desk, procrastinating. I know I need to step onto my mat, but the resistance is real today—almost palpable.

I’m sore. I’m tired. I don’t want to.

But I also know I will.

Because saying yes to my practice today means saying yes to a better day. A day where I have more energy for ...

Finding your line in Forearm Balance is the key to staying upright without fighting for balance. If y...

Handstands can feel like an endless puzzle—one day, everything clicks, and the next, you're toppling over like a domino.

But here’s the thing: Most handstand struggles boil down to a handful of common mistakes. Fix these, and you’ll see massive progress.

There’s something powerful about reaching midlife. It’s like the noise of expectations starts to fade, and you feel this pull to step into who you truly are. I've found it’s not about clinging to youth—it’s about discovering more clarity, confidence, and connection with yourself.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had started yoga sooner,” let me stop you right there.

The best time to practice yoga isn’t in your 20s. It’s right now—in your midlife years, when you’ve become a woman of a "certain age."

Props in yoga get a bad rap. Somewhere along the line, people started thinking that using a block, strap, or bolster means you’re “not good enough” at yoga. And, starting my practice with a Bikram Yoga background where props of any kind are not allowed, I know it took me some time to come around to ...

When I arrived at my first yoga class ever in 2005 it was a whim of a 28-year old wishing to feel lighter for a dance audition I had the next day.

"How do you continue to advance your yoga practice when you're worried you're going to hurt yourself in certain postures and will then have to stop practicing yoga to heal?"

The Christmas tree is up, the front door is completely decked out, Christmas music is pumping from my phone at all times, the cookie jar is full, and the holiday season has officially arrived! 

And, one thing I know for sure, is that your yoga practice? Between holiday parties and get-togethers, sc...

I am a little nostalgic and teary as I sit down to write to you this week. This past Friday I celebrated thirteen years as a yoga teacher.

Thirteen years ago, I walked to the front of a yoga class filled with rows of people and led them through their practice.
