There’s a point in midlife when you stop asking for permission.

You stop wondering what other people will think if you go to a yoga retreat, start working on inversions, or book that weekend completely for you.

It’s not rebellion. It’s recognition.

You finally realize that nobody else is going to...

When most people think of handstand, they picture an advanced yoga pose that’s all about flipping upside down. But the truth is, the biggest benefits of handstand have nothing to do with “getting inverted” at all. Working on handstand (even in small, consistent ways) can completely change how you mo...

Have you noticed this trend lately?

Every health and fitness guru says the same thing once you hit 40:
➡️ “You need to lift heavy weights to build muscle.”

And I don’t disagree. Strength training matters.

But here’s the head-scratcher…

The very same voices who push strength training tell you to ...

I’ll never forget the first time I truly began working toward Full Cobra Pose. Up until then, Cobra was just something we did in vinyasa—press your hands down, lift your chest, then move on. But the deeper I trained toward Full Cobra, the more I realized how much was hidden inside that simple shape....

If you’ve ever rolled up your mat after a yoga class and thought, “That was nice… but I’m not sure I’m really growing,” you’re not alone.

The truth is, most yoga classes—whether in a studio or online—are designed to give you a good session in the moment. But without a bigger picture, you’re often l...

Twists and binds can be the most satisfying postures in your yoga practice—and the most humbling. They challenge your strength, mobility, breath control, and patience all at once. But here’s the secret: you don’t have to force anything to go deeper. In fact, stability (not strain) is what unlocks th...

You know that feeling when you step onto your mat and something just feels off? Maybe your shoulders feel glued down, your hips are cranky, or your body is saying, “Nope, not today.” That’s where posture prep changes everything.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen students push straight into ...

You show up. You practice. You care.
So why does it feel like nothing’s changing?

If you’ve been practicing yoga for a few years—or a few decades—you may have hit a point where everything starts to feel... stuck. Like your flexibility isn’t improving. Your strength isn’t building. Your poses aren’t...

We tend to put so much pressure on the start of the year. January becomes this catch-all for fresh starts, ambitious goals, and high expectations. But let’s be honest — by July, most of us are either riding the wave of what’s working… or quietly avoiding what didn’t stick.

That’s why I love the mid...

Let’s set the record straight:
You do not become a stiff, creaky, immobile version of yourself the moment you turn 40.
That’s not science. That’s a story—and one I’ve seen too many women believe before they ever roll out their mat.

But here’s the truth...

Flexibility does shift as we age, but not ...

Let’s talk backbends.

For years, I thought I was doing them “right.” I’d push my hips forward, throw my chest back, and hope for the best. And while that might look like a backbend from the outside, inside? My low back was screaming.

It took time, study, and some major trial and error to learn how...

How immersive yoga retreats create real breakthroughs

There’s something wild and powerful that happens when you leave your everyday routine behind.

Suddenly, your nervous system settles in a way that it never does when you’re at home juggling laundry, deadlines, and dinner plans. You breathe diffe...
