future tripping right past yourself

digesting your day
happy thanksgiving dear yogis! in many ways today is my favorite holiday… a time set aside to celebrate and honor all the abundance and connectedness that our life is full of. but sometimes we have loaded our plates too full, literally and otherwise, and we need some assistance to help digest it all. the followingContinue reading “digesting your day”
sleeping yogi
*if you keep waking up at a certain time in the night, it may be connected to some disturbance in the meridians. in chinese medicine there is a body clock, where two-hour time periods are connected to specific meridians. the ones that are most likely connected to sleep disturbances are:
GALLBLADDER: 11 pm-1 am // LIVER: 1-3 am // LUNG 3-5am // LARGE INTESTINE 5-7 am
untying knots
“The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots … we’re already tied in knots. The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts. The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power in the universe.” – max strom

give us this day our daily leg stretch
if there is one stretch that will help a majority of students i know… especially those that suffer with low back pain, sciatica and/or general tightness in the legs and hips – it’s this one. it can be done either using a strap, as shown – or with a a door frame. i’ll instruct below – but this leg posture does a similar “trick” as last weeks arm stretch – notice after each side how the leg you just stretched actually feels like it’s grown an inch or two!
try this every day for one week and notice if your low back, legs and hips feel any different!
one of the coolest tricks i know
sure yoga is all about connecting to yourself and your body – and not about competing or showing off or any other such nonsense. but we’ve all been at parties sharing with your friends how transformative yoga has been for us (um, right?)… now here’s a little parlor trick for you to show off theContinue reading “one of the coolest tricks i know”
upcoming retreat… and postures for your shoulders
can you see the cow’s face? the knees are supposed to form the mouth, and the arms, each ear (one up, one down). i admit, it’s a little stretch…pun intended.
Traveling Yogi
now that summer is here, traveling season is in full swing. whether traveling by plane, train, or automobile, getting from here to there can take quite a toll on us. it would be better on our bodies, and less disorienting if we always traveled by foot or bike, (for instance, my husband is traveling toContinue reading “Traveling Yogi”
