Soul School


I believe life is just school for your eternal soul. Yoga is the vehicle through which I choose to learn and apply myself. It is everything to me - a gift, a resource, therapy, exercise, meditation, medicine... I believe I was born to teach this practice. Yoga is my talent, my passion and the thing that inspires me most. 

 The ultimate goal of Yoga, which literally means Union, is to connect your physical, emotional, spiritual, etheric, mental and energetic bodies with that of the universe. Yoga is not a religion, but a deep science of chakra activation to develop your body, mind and spirit - leading you to higher levels of awareness and consciousness.
The most important aspect of yogic philosophy is based on self-realization. 

 Yoga is a powerful, historical tool to help blossom you into your full human potential. The practice provides means to burn through your blocks, transform suffering into happiness and sickness to health. Like life, yoga is a journey, not a competition. We aim for progress rather than perfection with the asanas, yamas and niyamas (which I will delve into later). 

 Through this meditation in motion, with loving intention, I teach you to breathe and bend, so that you don't break.

The "Shred" in Review

“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.” ~Ancient Ayurvedic Proverb  Every 35 days, your skin replaces itself and your body makes new cells from the food you eat. What you eat literally becomes YOU. This is my why -- This is why Juice Plus is so important to me. I'm among the 75% of Americans who fall short of 5-13 servings of fruits and veggies a day - even when I try my best! Juice Plus bridges the gap between what I should be eating and what I actually eat; it's whole food based nutrition, including juice powder concentrates from 30 different fruits, vegetables and grains. Plus soil erosion has lead to nutrient depletion, so today's grocery store tomato isn't exactly the same as the tomato farmed for Juice Plus, but that's a whole other blog. Shred 10 was new for me, but as a part of the Juice Plus family, I saw the value. I didn't lose any weight, but I noticed an increase in my energy, especiall

The Opposite of Addiction

When I was younger, I moved to LA for a short while, and to NYC as well. I also traveled frequently to Minnesota. I always loved to "get away." It was nothing for me to pick up and go, and it didn't seem I was close enough to anyone for it to impact me. After college the world travel and moving around continued into and all around DC. I found friends, but kept them at a distance. (Me in Paris, where I enjoyed too much champagne.)  In March of 2014, I found my way into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. I managed to string together my first 30 days of sobriety after a messy year of trying to escape myself. I'd come to the realization I had a problem - that once I started drinking, I couldn't stop or control my drinking.  Around the 40 day mark, I was to go on a trip to Vegas with the start-up I was working for. I decided to start drinking again, already having made the decision I would drink on the trip. It was immediately clear to me, I wasn't dr

5 Tips on Savoring Time from a Sober Yogi Bride

Image
When you get married, you hear from just about everyone, "enjoy the process" or "enjoy this time" and "enjoy every moment." Tough stuff when planning involves thinking about the future, and when coordination, details, vendors, food, friends, family, rings, and dances all seemingly demand your attention simultaneously. The same mentality applies though, with stress on the flip-side, when you go on a vacation (or honeymoon in my case); you just want to soak up every second and immerse yourself within every morsel of time... Ego aside, I figured if anyone I knew could really manage this almost ungraspable concept it should be me. So with the weeks prior and days within, I tried my very best, and truly hope to carry out my efforts to be present every day in the same way and share my lessons learned with you. Life is so short. And the passing of time is relative, as with all things. That's really what remained at the forefront of my mind throughout
