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…

When Life Gets in the Way
If you’ve been following the news in suburban Philadelphia the past couple weeks, you might have heard about the church shooting that took place at Keystone Fellowship. A horrible tragedy took place, leaving families on both sides grieving and coping with unimaginable losses. My heart continues to break for them. All I have to do…
100 Days of Yoga Project
The idea of walking into a yoga class can be intimidating — even for someone who has been practicing for a while! You may not feel flexible enough, know enough poses, understand the terms the teacher uses, or be comfortable in such a potentially vulnerable environment. And that’s okay.

Travel Light

My Yoga Journal: A Long 5 Months
The past 4-5 months have been crazy, but I’ve officially completed 200 hours for my yoga teacher training! I dove into learning about yoga and yogic principles.

Reckless Yoga
I recently used the phrase “reckless yoga” to describe my previous yoga practice. Yes, even in my love of yoga, I realize that I am by far from perfect and have often toed a dangerous line. Just like any sport or physical activity, there are risks involved — yoga is no exception. As I go through yoga…
