My Number One Tip for New Yoga Instructors
If you are new to teaching yoga, congratulations! It’s an amazing thing to become certified in yoga! I’m excited to share my #1 tip for all new yoga teachers, though this tip is also key for established yoga teachers too. Teaching a yoga class has so many layers to it. Not only are we physically guiding students through a practice, but we are also gauging the room, potentially offering hands on adjustments, working with music, weaving in a theme… the list goes on!

Reflections from Costa Rica

7 Different Types of Yoga and When To Do Each One
There are many different types of yoga in the world but sometimes we think of yoga as just yoga. I hear people share that they went to a gym yoga class once and didn't like it and therefore have sworn off all yoga, and this is really sad to me. This is like saying you tried a restaurant once and didn't like it so you've now sworn off eating out ever again. When we realize that yoga has so many different styles, teachings and postures, we realize that it is a hugely diverse pr

I'm excited to share with you what I found changed for me by going to yoga everyday for a week! I chose to go to yoga daily for a week for a number of reasons.

What Scuba Diving Taught Me About Life and Yoga
About 18 months ago I received my diving certification in Costa Rica through CMAS and it was an absolutely life changing journey. I had wanted to learn how to dive for a long time but fear had held me back. That was, until April 2017 when I finally said YES to taking the plunge. (Literally and figuratively!) About 4 years ago while in Thailand I signed up for a Discovery Dive on the island of Koh Tao and had an incredible time. With a discovery dive, the instructor takes you

When Impossible Yoga Poses Suddenly Become Possible
We all have a few yoga poses that in our minds are impossible. Maybe for you it's a handstand or scorpion, frog pose or bird of paradise. We go to a class and they cue one of these poses and we are left to sit there and think "HA! As if!" While this is a very normal mentality in yoga, I am here to challenge this belief in you and maybe even push you to reach beyond this limiting belief. For as long as I've been practicing yoga, the one pose that seemed radically out of reach

Why Strength Training Might Be the Key to Your Yoga Practice
While we often think of yoga and strength training as two very different things, lately I've found that the two compliment each other amazingly. Likely most yogis do not foresee themselves as gym-goers or crossfit kind of people and most hardcore gym fanatics often think of yoga as too easy or overly relaxing. It's funny how there are so many pre-conceived notions about both forms of wellness and I too participated in these misinformed beliefs. Recently though, my beliefs hav
