Last weekend, I went over to my yoga sister, Shanna’s, to practice in the morning. It took us awhile to get on the mat because Shanna just got back from India, and we had a bit of catching up to do. I missed her so much, and couldn’t wait to give her a super duper extra long yoga hug! We… View Post

A Few Books To Help With Your Spiritual Growth
Most of my book collection is full of information about yoga, buddhism, mythology, and spiritual practice. These are the books that helped to change my mindset, and have been instrumental in my spiritual growth. I wanted to give a bunch of options because there are so many great ones that I’ve read, but I also wanted to give special attention… View Post
Watch Your Worries Melt Away With Massages From BodyMx (And Giveaway!)
I’ve always been envious of people that can afford to get massages on a regular basis. The truth is, if I were to cut back on Starbucks and Thai food, I could probably afford them too, but I would need a good referral. The last thing I want to do is shop around for a good masseuse. That’s a lot… View Post
Eight Qualities To Cultivate As A Yoga Teacher (In My Case, Ashtanga)
A few months ago, I taught a Start Your At-Home Yoga Practice workshop, which was a beginners Mysore practice. The purpose of the workshop was to teach how to take a full practice when you’re short on time, and at the same time, enough information to challenge yourself and deepen your practice on your own. At the end, I held a… View Post
Tips To Get Yourself Out Of Bed For Early Morning Yoga Practice
Whether you’re a night owl like me, or an early riser, it seems like once a person becomes dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga, they start practicing before sunrise. There’s just something about waking up before most of the city and practicing in the silence. It feels enchanting. Being a teacher, it’s really beautiful to watch. Many students come into the shala for the first… View Post

Currently, the universe is forcing new beginnings on me, or maybe a better phrase is that I’m starting over in some areas. Right now I’m in a transition stage. It’s exciting, thrilling, overwhelming, suspenseful, but mostly it’s downright uncomfortable! I’m okay with… View Post
Guest Post: Practicing Ashtanga Yoga During Pregnancy
I’m so excited to introduce my dear friend Leah, who is in the third trimester of her second pregnancy. I first met Leah when she was in her first pregnancy at The Yoga Shala in Winter Park, FL while I was working on my apprenticeship. Leah would wake up early every morning and drive to the shala to practice, and… View Post
Remembering B.K.S. Iyengar
Waking up to the news of yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar’s, death is quite surreal. He taught yoga to thousands, was loved my thousands, and you might know him from his ” Light On” books (See below). It’s interesting that I’ve never practiced Iyengar style yoga. Here in Orlando, there aren’t any studios that offer it. Strange with Orlando being a pretty decent sized… View Post
Ashtanga Police, or Ashtanga Practice…
Ashtanga Yoga gets a bad reputation. People blame it on injuries. They say it’s too physical. I’ve also heard people say it causes attachment to postures. My favorite is that Ashtanga is a cult. Then, there’s the issue with the militant, judgmental, and mean teachers known as the Ashtanga police. These are all Ashtanga myths. First of all, the practice… View Post
