Hot Yoga Drop Out
I did something last week for the first time ever. I walked out of a hot yoga class. I seriously thought I was going to die from spontaneous human combustion. It was the hottest hot yoga pseudo Bikram class I have ever taken. I may have been able to suffer through in the dead of […]

Snark, Pooping Unicorns + Getting Off Your Ass
This morning I read an article on Recovering Yogi , 5 ways to make $#!^loads of money with yoga. If you’re not familiar with RY, it’s a community blog whose mission “is to provide a forum for those who are bored with vacuous yoga culture and trite “spiritual” talk.”. I read RY sporadically, mainly because […]

Get Busy and Be the Change
I took a personal day today and it feels awesome! My 9-5 is starting to get a little stressful. The merger is 2 business days away. Seems an appropriate time for a personal day, right? In my world, personal days aren’t filled with lounging around eating bonbons. I am usually busier than I am in […]

I always thought I’d go to Finding Inner Peace Yoga School for my advanced training. It’s where I completed my first 200hr […]

The Groupon Effect – Yoga Style
I will be the first one to admit that Groupon (LivingSocial, AmazonLocal, Deal Chicken, etc.) deals for yoga studios are bomb-digity for my wallet. I started seeing them about two or three years ago and scooping them up left and right. They were a cheap perfect way to explore new studios and classes outside of […]

Sparks
In 2010, I took a leap of faith. With a severance package and a dream, I created my own thriving holistic health coaching business and actually made a living as a health coach and yoga teacher. In 2011, I joined a yoga-centered t-shirt and printing business, founded a yoga studio and wellness program that served […]

Om Sweet Om
This morning I practiced yoga with a group of friends, family and yoga teachers. It was morning satsang and kirtan in celebration of my dear friend Lauren’s birthday. It was the first practice I have done in months. That seems shocking to say out loud. When I got the invitation in the mail a few […]
