The beauty of the backbend

The spine is often referred to in yoga as “the tree of life”, so naturally it is important to keep it supple and happy. It provides the main structural support for our entire body, houses a main component of our nervous system (the spinal cord), and energetically, contains the major centers of non-sensory input from […]

Easy Lunches

Its quite easy to fall into a lunch rut – we get used to bringing the same thing every day because its fast, easy, and requires no thinking. While convenient, the same lunch day after day is hardly something to get excited about. You could spend hours scouring the internet for fresh ideas, or you […]

Yoga for Gardeners

Consider yourself lucky if you have access to both a patch of earth and the slightest tinge of a green thumb. Now is prime time for hours spent in the garden, digging and planting, weeding and seeding. As fun and gratifying as getting your hands in the […]

The newer faces of Yoga

Sure, yoga is an ancient tradition rich with spiritual teachings that transcend time and space, and can be universally applied in anyone’s life. But realistically, how many people in today’s society are able to easily dedicate themselves to a study developed in a context so very different from our own? Most of us have yoga […]

Yoga Tunes: Bliss

If you’re also working on the poses we do in class at home on your own, having some good tunes to listen to will surely help to set the mood. My constant go-to, both when I teach and for my home practice, is the album “They Made History” by Bliss (available on iTunes or Amazon […]

A couple of days ago I got to teach a class in which the men outnumbered the women. It was, however, a novel and uncommon experience. Historically yoga was only practiced by men and women were, in fact, prohibited from joining. Fortunately the recent trend towards classes filled […]

Time in the morning seems to go a little bit faster than during the rest of the day. No matter how early you get up, there still always seems to be a sprint out the door. And of course we all know how important a proper breakfast is, but who has time?

Muesli to the rescue! […]
