With bright, shining eyes, he approached and shared with me his experience from the class. He said that because of his chronic pain, yoga had been really hard for him. Today, he didn’t push himself, and held back from the harder poses. Today, instead of pushing forward to the next more advanced version, he hung back, […]

“Thank you for helping me break my addiction,” he said, with a grateful look in his eyes. I didn’t know what he was talking about. “You sent an email to our list with the steps to healing an unhealthy habit. They made the difference. Thank you.” I felt that familiar glow that happens when I […]

Today I am writing about New Years Resolutions, and how yoga practice supports the growth you want… There is a tradition here about setting New Years resolutions, and a trend of people not even bothering because: who keeps them anyhow?
