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
Yoga, from the same root as “yoke”, is the choice to connect things together for more beauty, goodness, and truth. Remembering that seemingly irreconcilable truths can exist at once helps me be a yoga mom,
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

Before I tell you what Amma, “The Hugging Saint”, whispered in my ear during the hug I’d waited 8 hours for at a hotel near LAX, let me tell you something my daughter says when she gets
The Self-Sacrificing Mom as Model I’ve been looking back on the little practices I added in to my day in recent years, and appreciating how life-changing they were. Some of my favorites: eating more greens

Healthy Meals for Healthy Moms I try to keep dinner early and light, since our digestive fire (agni) is weak at the end of the day. This means that a heavy dinner just makes us
