Most people have no problem declaring what they want.

They set goals, make plans, and tell themselves this time will be different.
And often, they start strong.

But somewhere along the way, momentum fades.

Not because the goal wasn’t important or they weren’t capable, but because life is constantl...

Most people are waiting.

Waiting for the right time.
Waiting to feel ready.
Waiting for circumstances to change before they take action.

The problem is… life doesn’t usually work that way.

If you’re waiting for perfect conditions before you start building the life you want, you might be waiting for...

You've probably heard it a gazillion times in yoga class: "Flex your foot to protect your knee."

This cue usually appears when you're in some kind of "figure 4" shape (think pigeon pose, tree pose, or any variation where your knee is bent and your hip is externally rotated.)

But here's the thing: ...

One of the least effective cues I’ve ever heard in a yoga class is for Triangle Pose (Trikonasana): “Imagine your body is stuck between two panes of glass.”

You’ve probably heard it in class. The intention is good, it’s meant to help you open through the chest, stack the torso over the front leg, a...

Backbends don’t come naturally for many of us, and there’s good reason for that.

Most of us spend the majority of our days hunched over something...driving, typing, scrolling on our phones, cooking, or even just sitting on the couch. Our spines get used to rounding forward based on how we live our ...

“I’m not strong enough to do that.”

We hear it constantly. Especially when students are staring down a Crow Pose, Flying Pigeon, or the ever elusive Handstand.

But here's the truth no one tells you:

These poses are not about strength. They're about mechanics. And more specifically, about weight s...

“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!

This pose is dynamite!

• A fierce backbend
• A gravity defying inversion
• A challenge to get into and hold

Rooted...

If you’ve ever stepped on your mat and felt like someone was silently questioning if you belonged there, whether in a yoga studio, practicing in the park, or through a social media screen, I want you to know: I see you. And I’m sorry you experienced that.

Today’s yoga world has done a spectacular j...
