On February 10th and 11th, I found myself in the thick of my work, presenting my two sessions at the 3rd Annual YogaHub Conference, Yoga, Meditation & the Philosophers Stone. There was a lot of work and effort that went into preparing for those two days that culminated in the live recording sessions. But for […]
Just last week, we were taking a walk at Pine Island Flatwoods Preserve in Florida when we came across this tree. It stood out, towering above the tall grasses, scrubby bushes, and saw palmettos. I marveled at it’s curved shape, “a dancing lady,” I thought. Knowing that hurricane winds have the power to change the […]
I am accustomed to being busy. I enjoy being busy. I enjoy creating a new workshop that will assist participants in improving their well-being. I enjoy tweaking an existing workshop to fit a particular audience. I enjoy planning lessons for my kid and adult yoga classes. I enjoy preparing for my clients. I enjoy […]

Maintaining “At-Easeness”
Recently, I returned from my first twelve days of Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training in Lenox, Massachusetts. It was a very intense, rich and full twelve days.
