Yoga is your BFF when you need a ‘pick-me-up', to de-stress, or just feel good! It is one of the best forms of movement and is often recommended to improve back pain by increasing mobility and strength! So why is that, sometimes, it can feel like that same BFF stabbed you in the back when, the next ...

As a yoga teacher, I spend most of my time telling people how to move, breathe, and act - both on and off the mat. But here’s the kicker: sometimes I don’t take my own advice.

If you've ever practiced yoga, you’ve definitely done Downward Facing Dog, probably more times than you can count!
