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 ...

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.

I remember feeling so excited for it....

It happened to me the other day. I was about move into my yoga room to work through my daily inversion practice and the thought popped into my head, "You could do your handstand work, or you could make a cup of coffee and chill with your book." 

I laughed to myself. It's been almost 20-years of pra...

Arm balancing postures? They’re all the same thing. 

Once you fly in one, you usually can find flight in them all.

This past Monday, I woke up and the coffee maker would not turn on. It stood there on the counter like a dead object refusing the one thing I wanted most in that moment - coffee. 

I hit it a couple of times, trying to wack some sense into it. And, then hair askew, glasses on, I pulled a sweatshirt ...

Last week, I stepped way out of my comfort zone. I took a class to learn how to make French macarons.

Now, let me tell you, I am not a fancy baker. I’m your average chocolate-chip-cookie maker. I’ll whip up brownies from a box mix for my husband and have one showstopper recipe: Texas Sheet Cake. (I...

I’m going to tell you something this week that most yoga teachers are not going to tell you. Being a yoga teacher is tough.

I know it seems like a dream job. Yoga all day. Your work uniform is cute leggings. And, it’s all about peace, love, and breath work.

But, it’s so much more than that. These ...

I always wanted to create and hold workshops. I knew this way back before I even became a yoga instructor.

You see, I loved taking workshops. I loved being surrounded by other people that loved to learn more about what they love.

And, I loved the way I felt after a workshop. They always revved up ...
