Yoga

I did it! I am officially a RYT 500!

If yoga handed out degrees instead of certifications, you can say I earned my Bachelors degree in Yoga. Here is how I got here. I discovered yoga in 2001 when I was in college.

That Time I was Triggered in Yoga Class

Hello! Quick health update: I’m pretty much healed up from pericarditis, besides a dry cough caused by the condition, I feel so much better!

Recharge the Forward Fold

​​ While practicing yoga, I try to find new ways to change up my practice every time I step onto the mat. Sometimes it is focusing on alignment, breath, or repeating my intentions while holding a pose. This week, I had horrendously sore hamstrings from a tough leg workout. I was so sore, I didn’t […] Read more…

Yoga Every Single Day
