When you are tired. When you are overwhelmed. When you have screamed all there is to scream or have swallowed every whimper until silence is all that greets you. When the thing you thought was gone for good shows up with a suitcase. When you are out of ideas and...
Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.

Devotion to the Day
My kitchen sink was once the site of my greatest sorrow, but is now home of my redemption. As the evening fills the sky outside, I am often standing in front of a sink full of dishes and a messy house, counting down the minutes until I can do an hour or two of leisure...
The Power of a Home Yoga Practice (and How to Set One Up)
As a yoga teacher, I risk being accused of blasphemy by saying this: The power of yoga is not in a group class. The purpose of yoga is to connect with our inner bliss, that god-thing I wrote about last month. Certainly that can be bolstered by a community who...
A Question of Consistency
Consistency is about showing up as much as it is about not showing up. For four years, I worked for and studied under a teacher of Ayurveda and yoga who was known to be a strict disciplinarian. Her students reported daily at 5:00 a.m. for nearly three hours of...

How We’ll Get through This
Do whales get anxious before their treks across the ocean to their winter homes? Do the mountains tremble as the first flakes of snow dance around their peaks? And the trees...do they cry out in pain when the winds blow their branches bare? No, I think it is just us,...
Breaking a New Tradition in Yoga
(audio version below) It seems we have a new tradition in yoga. It sounds like this: You don’t have enough certification to call yourself a yoga teacher. How can you say you’re a yoga teacher when you drive that car? You actually eat meat? You can’t even do...
Yoga Nidra on Sweetness
Life is challenging. And it’s easy to become jaded or cynical in the face of struggle. But cynicism is not your true nature, more like a heavy blanket you wrap around you for protection. But what if you could find peace in a different kind of protection? No matter who...
Who Do You Think You Are?
One of the most boring things about adults is the way they delegitimize fantasy. If I ask my clients to imagine what they would do if there were no limits or consequences, the newer ones will go completely blank. Or, they take a step into the magical world of make...
