So many of us are going through stress in our lives. We experience so much anxiety that it’s become part of our culture. We stress about our kids, we’re worried about our parents, we’re anxious because of our jobs. The list goes on and on and on…

Yoga is an individual practice. Like me, you can just do what you can and what your body allows you to do. If you can’t touch your toes or do all the different bends, it doesn’t matter! The most important thing is for you to focus on your breaths and your movements.

Yoga is so much more than an exercise regimen. It is just as much about the breathing as it is the movement. It gives you stability, focus, energy, and calmness. However, if you want to see real results from your yoga practice, you must be consistent with it. 

Before you begin to dig deep into your yoga practice, before you even start the first pose, it’s important to start with this one thing: connecting to your mat.

Your mat doesn’t judge you. Your mat helps to keep you from falling. Your mat is there for you through each and every pose. 

Our generation is parenting kids differently--we allow them to be themselves and have their own power. We know to do better with them, but we don’t give the same freedom to ourselves.

Our country is currently facing an epidemic. Up to 40% of adults and 20% of our children are obese. And supersizing and sweets are to blame. Are you ready to do what it takes to help yourself and your family avoid becoming a statistic?

It’s the end of December! Not only are the holidays almost here, but we are quickly approaching 2020. We need to be thinking about what our goals for the future. Think about what you want to achieve, what your health goals are, and what you want to accomplish…

Do you ever catch yourself saying things like, “I can’t do this”, “I’ll try”, or “maybe I can”? What about focusing on the things that you don’t have or that frustrate you? I get it.

If you find yourself frequently thinking negatively, looking at your glass as being half empty, focus on these ideas to help you let go of these patterns and start holding onto joy:

Gratitude: Every day, write down three things that you are grateful for. Consistently doing this will change your spirit. This is about focusing on what you have in this moment instead of longing for what you don’t have. I like to use the three things that I’m grateful for to set my intention for my yoga practice each day.
