Remember when you were five and someone told you, “Sharing is caring”? You probably gave up half a cookie, let your friend play with your favorite toy, or took turns on the swing.

We teach kids that generosity matters, that it’s kind, loving, and simply the right thing to do. We point out how good ...

“I can’t do yoga, I can’t even touch my toes. See? My hamstrings are too tight.”
If I had a dollar for every time someone mentioned the hamstrings in a yoga conversation, I’d be writing this from my private island.

Tight hamstrings are one of the reasons people might feel intimidated by yoga. And to...

When the topic of meditation comes up, most people wave a hand and say,
“Nahhh, I can’t meditate. That stuff’s not for me.”

And more often than not, it’s type A people like me (hyperactive humans who took forever to feel comfortable in a two-minute Savasana).

Why?
Because we’ve got the wrong idea of...

Yoga quiz time: what’s a pose that’s an inversion, a backbend and looks like a total badass move?
If you guessed Chinstand (aka Ganda Berundhasana), congratulations, you nailed it!

A couple of days ago, I had just finished a vinyasa class and was covered in sweat (the happy kind), feeling the post-Savasana peace when a new student popped up from the far corner of the room like a joyful chipmunk and declared:

“Well, that was an awesome workout!”

It made me smile. Because tech...

One of the million things yoga has taught me and continues to teach me daily, is what Patanjali describes in the Yoga Sutras as Tapas: self-discipline.

The word Tapas comes from the Sanskrit root tap, meaning "to burn.” But it’s not just the fire you feel in your shoulders when you’re in Dolphin Po...

If flipping your world upside down is your happy place, you already know that strong, mobile shoulders are your ticket to lift-off (and to fix the dreaded banana back). Shoulder extension and the ability to bring your arms overhead can make or break your inversion game.

When things feel stuck or rest...

As a human, you’re wired for connection. You’re social by design, drawn to community, craving feedback, and built to thrive in relationships. A kind word, a thumbs up, or a “you crushed that!” can feel like emotional sunshine: a warm hug for your self-esteem.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying pra...

If there were a secret code to spot a yogi in a crowded room, one of the giveaways would be someone casually hanging out in Tree pose. You know the look: the sole of one foot glued to the inner leg, maybe steady, maybe wobbly. Classic Vrksasana.
