Yoga in the great outdoors is something else. Everyone benefits from connecting with themselves & with Mother Nature. If you need a bit of yoga in your life, and maybe some yoga friends, I teach an outdoor class at the leg. Class is every Thursda
New video is up on YouTube. Link to my YouTube channel is in my bio — the focus of this class was backbending. Personally, I find backbends fascinating. Backbends can be invigorating and uplifting, but they can also be terrifying and painful. T
Consistency is key. If there is one single thing I get done, it’s gonna be my yoga practice —Today was a mix of easy, nurturing poses, and then some intense and challenging ones. I think the mix is important. Get outside your comfort zone
I need a lot of practice, patience, dedication, and focus to be able to preform this posture. The skills needed for the posture, carry over into my every day life, and thank goodness, cause I need it 🙏 🦂
“Do the work because it must be done” - Sri Dharma Mittra. Just because it’s hard work, doesn’t mean you can’t do it with a smile. That’s a personal choice. You can’t see it here, but I’m definitely smi

Every now and then, people will ask me if I've always been flexible, or if I had been a dancer or acrobat (Perhaps to see if I had some sort of unfair advantage?). I had always been active and into sports, but my first yoga class was hilarious! I cou

"I'll be happy when..." mindset is dangerous. If it goes unchecked, your happiness is always beyond you. I'll be happy when... I get this, when I have that, etc. Be happy in the now (easier said than done of course). That doesn't mean don't
Yoga helps clear our distorted view of how things really are - A lot of the time, we see things from only our perspective. More to the point, from our current headspace. Practice non attachment. For example, if the pose doesn't go well, don't worry a
Consistent Yoga practice can help put energy behind the intentions you set, so your words are not empty. Your intentions become powerful and genuine! How many little things have you been planning on doing, to no avail? How about the big life changes?
Your worth is in your humanity. Your worth is not your income, or car, or titles, possessions (etc). It only seems to be so, because you are conditioned in thinking so. Consistent yoga practice can help to realize this. It's okay to intellectual unde
