Recently a pregnant mama came early to class and told me she was so miserable that she just started googling and calling places saying “do you have anything for me?” I was so glad she
We are so used to accomplishing… But when we allow ourselves just to be through Ma Yoga, we get more in touch with our inner wisdom as new moms. I went to a lovely yoga
I came across some notes from my first yoga philosophy teacher. Most of it I couldn’t read, because he talked fast and everything out of his mouth was so inspiring that I tried to scribble
Our culture is obsessed with flat bellies, and it’s hard to ignore. But rarely in my life have I had a flat belly. My mom didn’t, my aunt didn’t, and as a kid my mom
It happened to me recently. The thing we all fear: your computer screen goes blue, and says it’s shutting down. I actually had one more chance – it started up long enough for my husband
Through the practice of yoga I have come to know myself better. Spiritual practices help us make discoveries about what it means to be in a body, what this particular embodied experience is all about,
A fabulous, passionate yoga mom who took my prenatal teacher training this weekend happens to have 11 children. Not 11 kids in her class or anything, 11 of her own children. I was having a hard time imagining
I’m feeling good today. We are in escrow on a house, and while anything could still happen, I decided to trust and take a moment to celebrate and reflect. How did we manage to accomplish

Without space for ourselves, we start amassing energetic remnants that can prevent us from seeing clearly. With daily space, we can deal with stress… After a walk along the ocean yesterday with my daughter, who
For me, intention setting is the most magical part of yoga. Everything else seems to make perfect sense: you lengthen your exhale, there’s space for a deeper inhale. You lift your heart and draw head
I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the kind of thing I’m asking myself lately, and it’s been kind of fun. How to sit so I can feel deeply nurtured? If my chair isn’t helping me sit
The yoga sages say that awareness is healing. One of my favorites, Maya Tiwari , a fashion-designer turned monk and author of a wonderful book called The Path of Practice: A Woman’s Book of Ayurvedic Healing,
Prenatal yoga can’t be separated from creating community. When we connect with other mamas in the room, it’s one of the best benefits of prenatal yoga. The head of the Exercise Science Dept. at Cal
We can learn how to relax into an easeful relationship with the universe, where we are nourished with every breath – by becoming aware of the energy flow of apana vayu. I love this quote
