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 ...

I don't know about you, but the holiday season can knock me right off my center of peace and calm without even realizing that I'm out of sync with myself. 

So, if you're feeling yoga deprived because you truly do not have the time, I've created a super simple sequence just for you that will relax y...

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...

When we think about flexibility in yoga, we often focus on forward folds and backbends—but what about the sides of our body? That’s where the magic of lateral stretches comes in! These poses don’t just help you move more freely; they also make your practice feel more balanced and vibrant.

Let’s div...

My body tilted right... and then bolted to the left. I felt out of control and was pretty sure I was going to crash into the person practicing in seemingly perfect stillness right next to me. 

I was at the front of a mirrored room and there was no way that no one saw the mess that was my Eagle Pose...

As I looked out on the students in my class, my eyes went directly to their feet. All of their attention was on holding Warrior III, also known as Balancing Stick Pose. 

Some of their feet were engaged, holding onto the floor and ultimately contracting all of their leg muscles to support the postur...

I don't care who you are, it takes some time to build into therapeutic splits. 

Therapeutic splits have:

1. Your two hips in one line. 

2. Your back leg knee points down to the ground and not out to the side. 

3. Both legs are in a straight line, with your ankles in line with your hips. 

And, t...

It's not just you. Seeing someone fly in an arm balance when you have yet to achieve flight in one of these postures can be intimidating.

You are not the only one to see someone fly in a fancy arm balancing posture and think, "That will never be me."

But, know that is not the truth.

And, for me, ...

Let me stop you right here. 

If I had to start all over again with Standing Bow Pulling Pose, also known as Dancer Prep Pose, I’d focus less on depth and more on alignment…

And also, working WITH my body instead of insisting it do wacky things, just to feel like I finally “got it.”

Let's get stra...

Camel Pose, or Ustrasana, is oftentimes the first deep backbend you encounter when you begin to practice yoga.

And, it sets up the foundation of good back bending technique when taught and done correctly.

Plus, it’s a huge win to help you release anxiety and fear, open up your hips and shoulders a...

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

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

Because even though the body is making different shapes in each one, the same 3 rules apply to this group of postures over and over again.

And, arm balancing poses teach you how to ...

Yoga and Fear. The two go hand in hand like the bestest of buddies.

Fear is there with you when you step onto your yoga mat for the very first time.

You wonder if this is going to be something you even like. Or, if you’re going to make a fool of yourself during this first class.

You pray to the g...
