Prenatal Yoga Guidelines

May 14, 2019 11:07 am

I led a Prenatal Yoga workshop at Purple Yoga and was reminded of my passion for women’s health, especially during vulnerable times like pregnancy and birth. I just love all things pregnancy and babies and of course, yoga! So I thought I’d share the guide I made for my students. It serves as an accompaniment to the in person instruction and I’m sure makes more sense in context, but I still think it would be a good resource for yogi mamas who already have some familiarity with yoga. I hope it’s helpful!  Read More →

Meditation Challenge

August 13, 2014 12:30 pm

I have recently got back into my meditation practice. My new apartment is very conducive to the morning routine I’ve found best sets me up for my day. Every morning I wake up, roll out of bed, drink a glass of lemon water, and head out the door to go for a walk. I’ve only been living at my new place two and a half months but I already love it! I love the neighborhood – quiet, with beautiful older homes and nice landscaping, close to the beach. I leave my cell phone and wallet at home. I walk however long I feel like it, maybe 20 minutes, maybe an hour. When I come home I light some incense and roll out my yoga mat. I love that my apartment has wood floors and the perfect little space for my mat. I do a bit of yoga, free form, whatever I’m feeling, however my body wants to be moved, and then I meditate. I don’t have a fancy meditation pillow, I just grab a pillow from my couch, set it on the edge of my mat and settle in. When I start my day like this, I feel good the entire day. Read More →

Yoga is an oft-recommended form of exercise. A recurring question then, asked of those who teach yoga is: What is so good about practicing yoga?
