I’ve often heard that savasana is the hardest yoga pose. Savasana is the final pose in a yoga class (normally), where you lay silently for a few minutes. I used to dread this part of class. I didn’t want to sit still when I had so many other things to do. I got bored. My…

July Reflection (2016)
“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” ― Margaret J. Wheatley Each month, I set aside a chunk of time to reflect on the previous month: memorable moments, lessons I learned, how I spent my time, how I’m different, who/what I’m grateful for, improvements…
The Dark Side of Yoga: Ego + Injury
Yoga has a lot of benefits that I truly believe in. As a freshly minted yoga teacher, trust me when I say I believe in yoga enough to sink a couple thousand dollars into training to make me a better yogi and teacher. But there are also some downsides to practicing yoga that don’t get…
13 Reasons You Should Practice Yoga
If you follow me on any sort of social media, you’ve probably picked up that I like yoga quite a bit. I was skeptical of yoga at first though. The idea of stretching and weird breathing exercises didn’t appeal to me at all. I thought I’d be bored. But I had some friends who absolutely…

My answer? “I found cheap plane tickets.” Yes, I went to Portugal not because it was on my bucket list (although I had heard great things about the country) nor…
Yoga-ing Around Iceland :)
Yoga and travel are two of my favorite things. And when you travel with your best friend who also happens to be a photographer, you naturally fall into the role of “model” for the trip. Now, I’m not very natural when it comes to being in front of the camera (that’s what my younger sisters…
Exploring Boston
When friends move away, it’s always a bittersweet time. Bitter because now I can’t see my friends very often. Sweet because now I get to go visit them and explore their new city! So after a year of saying I was going to make the trek out to visit my friends who moved to Boston,…
