This month’s header is dedicated to my favorite song by Prince that I’ve been playing on my iPod whenever I ride the indoor bike trainer. Shortly after returning home from Istanbul, I got serious about solving my health problems. I was pretty sick this summer before my London trip in July. Remember how I fell [...]
Yoga made me swear last night. Some nights, just getting in and out of my lululemons is enough of a yoga work out. But some nights, you need the bar set high with a challenge that dangles in front of you like the sweetest tasting carrot you’ll ever find on your tongue. And when I [...]

2/4: UPDATE: I’m a dork. I can’t tell time. I skipped school the day they taught that lesson. I had listed 75 minutes for first class but typed in a 90-minute time slot and the other classes were showing 105 min. Oh lordy. You don’t want to listen to me for that long. The calendar [...]
Oh ya kiddie cats. I’m givin’ it away free, on Fridays. Don’t tell Mr. Wild Dingo though. He’ll think I’m cheap. Speaking of Mr. Wild Dingo, Internet, I need a little sympathy.
You heard it here first! Free Yoga, selected Friday nights at YogaSource Los Gatos! Way before we moved into this money pit-life-sucking vampire of a house (no I’m not bitter, why would you ask?), I had a personal yoga practice. I’d ride and race my bike several days per week, fit in about 2 or 3 [...]
I almost got kicked out of yoga class the other day. No, really. Like almost “by the ear” kicked out. Before class, in the yoga parking lot, I ran into a friend (I won’t name names, but we’ll call her Stacy since that’s her name). We decided to get spots next to each other. The [...]
Zeitgeist is a German word which translates as “spirit of the times.” “Zeit” translates to “time or era” and “geist” to “spirit.” Zeitgest has come to mean the trends, fads or cultural intellect of the era. A “stressor” is anything that provokes stress, an event or context that elevates the adrenal stress response and disrupts [...]
For several years now, I’ve wanted to take part in the 200-hour teacher training program, but for reasons until now, could not. Although I have not had the experience of having other yoga teacher training programs, I cannot imagine a more thorough, well-rounded introduction to teaching than this program. Year after year, I’d witness the [...]
Last week, I spent 7 om-a-licious days on Isla Mujeres, an island just off of Cancun Mexico, studying to become a yoga instructor. I’ve been lightly practicing yoga since 1993, but became more of a regular practitioner in 2002, exploring Bikram, Vinyasa and had a little bit of exposure to Ashtanga. Undergoing a teacher training program [...]
