“Karma Yoga alone is enough to save your soul. You won’t have to force yourself to serve others if you know the benefits of such service. The greatest joy in life is doing something for somebody else...Whether it’s day or night, you won’t want to miss the supreme joy...
My anticipated two-month yoga teacher training to Rishikesh, India was all about immersing myself in the history and tradition of the Himalayas. Taking my practice deeper..... Fast forward six weeks into my eight-week stay and I'm doing the Hip Hop Yoga Bop and making...
So we previously shared an article on the “richness” of teaching yoga to adults or children. That article spoke briefly to the difficulty of making a living at teaching yoga, and also to the blessings that fill our cups to overflowing. So much so that many of us have...
HAHAHA! Did you read that title? Sure, there are those exceptions out there of people who have built yoga empires and live very well, or richly, in the material sense. However, anyone who has ever tried to make a go at leaving their day job to make a living teaching...
I have only been teaching Kidding Around Yoga for a few weeks now, but after EVERY SINGLE CLASS, I am on such a high for the rest of the day! And guess what? On the days that I’m teaching a class (four days per week), I wake up on the same high too! Sharing yoga with...
My parents are British, I was born in Canada, and then we spent a few years in Cleveland. I went to college in Montana, spent two summers in Houston, and I currently live and work as an elementary and KAY teacher and trainer in Tampa. But where do I call “home”? ...
Last Friday I shared an article with you about the Summer Solstice, its significance, and my personal experiences with it. I did end up getting to participate in the 108 Sun Salutations Challenge, and after a long day of a yard sales and shopping for maternity yoga...
Since January 2012, I have taught many children many things. I have been a babysitter, a yoga instructor, a crafts leader, a friend, a taxi driver, and a mother. As a yoga instructor last year I taught up to 15 classes a week some weeks! On average weekly, I had the...
Being a Kids’ Yoga teacher is much more than having fun and teaching kids some poses. When I am teaching a class, I feel I am in a privileged position to bond with the kids and help them deal with many aspects of their lives. I like to teach my kids the importance of...
Even after years of practicing yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and studying The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (along with other texts), I would by no means say I have mastered ANY of it. Is this discouraging? Not in the least. There are moments of mastery that are worth all...
When I took my Kids’ Yoga training, they told us about Really Stinky Feet Spray. It has a soothing aroma of lavender, and I was told to use it in case my students came to class with some old school smelly feet. At the moment, I wasn’t so sure about it but during my...
Being fairly new to the Kidding Around Yoga craze (I completed my awesome certification almost 7 months ago), most of the yogis coming to my classes have been little girls between the ages of 3 and 10. That is until recently, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Boys...
Today I went to teach my evening kids' class, but unfortunately, I only had one little yogi in attendance. Luckily, any Kidding Around Yoga class, no matter how big or how small, can produce magic, which is exactly what happened tonight! Maya is the beautiful...
One of the things that drew me most to the Kidding Around Yoga training (besides all of the awesome music) was that they offer a complete yoga practice in each and every class. So many studios and classes that offer “Yoga” focus only on the physical aspect of the...
I woke up shaking. My hands, my chest, my heart… this wasn’t the first time. This was every day for me. Something terrible had happened to me. Anxiety. Have you ever been so stressed out that you could feel it in your body? I let it go too far. I was so stressed out,...
