Consistency trumps intensity. This is my memoir of one year spent weight lifting, and what I’ve learned on my journey towards a stronger body. But first, a reminder that we are roughly 4 weeks away from being bombarded with advertisements promising “your best body ever in just 8 weeks!” or a “total body transformation in […]

The idea that our thoughts can shape our reality is not a novel concept: it’s a theme that has been explored in numerous books and studies over the years. As you navigate life, have you ever noticed that when your thoughts take a negative turn, your experiences seem to mirror that negativity? Our thoughts, whether […]

I have acceptance and gratitude for what is. October is thought of as the month of gratitude in many circles. I will put a spin on the platitude ‘let’s all find gratitude for our abundant lives’. If you are reading this blog and life is moving along swimmingly, it might be easier to be grateful. […]

Alright, this one is for all the females, and inspired by my wise teacher, Brianna, my 2 year old daughter. Brianna went through a phase a few months ago where she said everything was beautiful.

The older I get and the more I experience life, the more I realize how important yoga is on different levels. I spend a lot of time sharing the mental and spiritual rewards of this practice. Yet sometimes I forget that the physical aspect is important for maintaining and sustaining our earth suit, or “vehicle”, […]

Here we are: January. Most people don’t *love* January. It’s a dark contrast to the joy and bustle of December. However, as a Yoga studio owner, January is one of my favorite months.
