Habits, Rituals and Routines. Take a moment to think about yours. If you have a column for each, what actions would go in each column and why? Routines are everywhere, from getting up and brushing our teeth, morning coffee, making the bed, showering, going to the gym, the list is endless and varies from person […]

This too shall pass. Change: the only thing that is ever truly constant. No feeling is final. I called on this mantra in a recent trip to Palm Springs, when what should have been a fun and relaxing vacation turned into a trip from hell. It all started with a day trip to the Salton […]

The older I get and the more I experience life, the more I realize how important yoga is on different levels. I spend a lot of time sharing the mental and spiritual rewards of this practice. Yet sometimes I forget that the physical aspect is important for maintaining and sustaining our earth suit, or “vehicle”, […]

Here we are: January. Most people don’t *love* January. It’s a dark contrast to the joy and bustle of December. However, as a Yoga studio owner, January is one of my favorite months.

“I Make Time for Self Care” Self care September is back, and for me, it is oh- so needed. The energy of the summer is so BIG and so BRIGHT and man do I feel the burn out. Don’t get me wrong, I love lazy summer days, patio cocktails and the sweet smell of Hawaiian […]

July Mantra: I retreat to recharge. I never understood as a child when on an airplane during the safety demonstration they would say “ in the event of an emergency please put your oxygen mask on before assisting others” I remember thinking in my naiveté, “this doesn’t make sense, my Mom should help me first!” […]

“I choose my thoughts. I choose abundance. I choose gratitude.” How’s your wallet feeling these days? The price of gas; inflation; the housing market….
