Recently I had the honor of sharing yoga with 80 children at a public school in my area...at once. Iโve taught some large classes, but they were always indoors and never more than 60. Whatโs 20 more, outdoors, next to a train track and an interstate? Add a megaphone...
Let's start the new year with PEACE! I thought I would share a little about the science behind feeling peaceful. The international yoga teacher training program, Kidding Around Yoga, has a mantra they teach every teacher and child who experiences their program: Peace...
This is a letter to all parents of children who attend yoga, written from the perspective of the children. I taught hundreds of Kids Yoga classes for over 4 years before slowing down, and these are things I often heard from my students. I hope your heartstrings are...
February is the month of love. The greeting card companies have a hay day! The colors pink, red, white, and purple get worn out. And everyone overdoses on chocolate and those little candy hearts with messages on them. I thought I would share some ideas for the yoga...
What is love?ย Donโt worry, no one can see you dancing to the familiar tune (now playing in your head) โWhat is Loveโ from the 1998 film Night at the Roxbury. Inย February the worldโs attention turns to hearts, cupids, flowers, and gifts or ways to show our love for...
Many yogis and non-yogis alike have heard all the rage around the practice of Hot Yoga. All I know is in the summer, I donโt want to be any hotter than I have to be! How can we โcool downโ a practice that creates internal heat? How can we practice yoga with our...
I have been teaching yoga for almost 5 years and have taught many styles to a variety of bodies and age groups. By far one of the most challenging classes I teach is Mommy & Me Yoga. Thereโs nothing like it to make me feel like a huge success and complete failure...
Thanksgiving is a tradition many of us today recognize as beginning in 1621 at Plymouth with the Native Americans and the Pilgrims after the first harvest in the โNew World".ย It was actually more of a harvest festival and they gave credit for all the bounty and...
Last week, on February 14, 2018, our nation watched in horror as news revealed the details of yet another school shooting. On a day celebrated annually as a day of love, our nation and the people of this Florida community witnessed an act devoid of love. They...
In my house "Yoga" is an everyday word. One or all of us can be seen practicing or just playing as we work on a various posture. Even my 11-month old, Jewel, can be seen going from Downward Dog to Upward Dog multiple times a day. You get it, we are a Yoga family. It...
The only constant is change. Change is inevitable. When one door closes, another opens. Iโm sure youโve heard many more quotes about change. What I know for sure is that with change comes the practice of, and the need for, letting go (like Elsa). Letโs explore the...
Winter is here in full force (finally). This past weekend we got hit with the largest snowfall our area has seen in almost 20 years, getting over 16 inches in a 24-hour period. Being snowed-in alone with two children under the age of 7 with the possibility of power...
In my teacher training I learned principles of alignment, to which I adhered with razor-like attention. I practiced, memorized, and studied. I even taught this way for a while at the beginning. I still love alignment, but not for the same reason. Early on it was...
As a 500-hour yoga instructor, aspiring Personal Trainer, and generally active person, I take matters of health quite seriously. Iโve had injuries in the past from running that have been horribly disabling. I watch people my age complain of aches and pains and be...
(And why kids of all ages need it) Everyone knows yoga can make a body more flexible. In fact, inflexibility is often the top excuse people give for not being able to take yoga, stating, โI canโt do yoga. I canโt even touch my toes.โ It is also the subject of a common...
