My ego was convinced that I didn’t need to modify any pose. After all, why modify when you can force your body into […]

Anyone who practices yoga has learned it from someone, a teacher. Sometimes a student stays with this particular teacher, other times he/she moves on. Some students learn from a variety of teachers over a period of years while others prefer to be their own teacher. All students of yoga  start somewhere — with a teacher […]

It’s looking like a winter wonderland from my back door. The upside of the snow — getting cozy in front of the fireplace, using the cold snowy weather as an excuse to tackle clutter inside, sledding on the grounds of the golf course nearby, and taking in the breathtaking beauty of the snowy scene before […]

While I adore having sound in my yoga practice, I’m not a huge fan of practicing to music (although I must admit that one of the most fun classes I’ve ever attended featured live drumming as an accompaniment to the yoga). For me, the music can be a bit distracting. Yet making sounds during my […]
