Sexy is a State of Mind
There is nothing sexier than a confident woman. Confident not just in her physical body, but also confident about her values, opinions and beliefs. A woman becomes truly sexy when she expresses her intellect in a way that is both truthful and non-harming to others. As election season kicks into high gear, we have a [...]
My Heart Wears a Snow Parka
My heart center, the anahata chakra, wears a dark, navy blue snow parka. It a has a hood, ringed with white fuzz. In February I took a meditation class that focused on this chakra and how to bring awareness and light to this area. I first noticed the snow parka when I began to explore [...]
So, what did you learn?
In the past 24 or so hours I have been asked the following two questions as least a dozen times, “Are you finished with your 300 Hour Professional Yoga Teacher Training program?” and “What did you learn?” Let me say a heart-felt thank you to everyone who is asking, I am delighted that you are [...]
Mile Marker 17
Imagine a marathon runner, 17 miles or 2/3 of the way done. Maybe she is having some physical pain or her mental focus has started to drift. She knows she has the strength and stamina to finish and she resolves to dig deep, refocus and continue using positive thoughts to get her to the finish [...]
And the Angels Sang
The most amazing thing happened on Sunday – the angels sang through me as me! This is HUGE. Here’s why it’s huge not only for me but also for you. I have had a long held, very deep belief, in yoga known as a samaskara, that I could not sing. I knew this to be [...]
To Yoga, With Love

Like the sun, you unconditionally and ceaselessly shine your light and give your warmth to any and all who choose to turn their faces to you. You are never ending and have enough for everyone. I am forever in awe, filled [...]

Yoga Flirt has really turned out to be a pretty darn fabulous experience. It is a Divine gift to the women of our community. I often say, “I’m smart, but not that smart.” Yoga Flirt and it’s practices came through me rather than from me. Now that it has been around for a bit I [...]
KA-BOOM! Just like that
KA-BOOM! An explosion of self-love flooded into my not-so-empty anymore bucket around the age of 28. I won’t bore you with the details, but from listening to a dear, soul-mate of a friend discuss her own experiences with co-dependency and a particularly uncomfortable but eye-opening situation 2 huge things happened that shifted my life in [...]
A Road Diverged
I was pushed into my discomfort zone. And like the two roads that diverge in the woods I had two paths that I could choose. I could say “F*** that”. I am not going down that overgrown, untended, scary, tangled path. I will choose the comfortable, familiar path and maintain the status quo, even as [...]
To Cancer, With Gratitude
Dear Cancer, Yesterday I learned that you claimed the life of Vince LaPointe, one of my first yoga teachers, who taught me so many valuable on and off the mat lessons. Just 5 months ago you also claimed the life of my yoga angel, Jill Pentoney. In this same time frame you have claimed the [...]
I’m Crying Therefore My Teacher Rocks
Yes, you read that correctly and it is absolutely true. I have been crying a lot this month. Sometimes just some tears welling up for a moment, other times a deep, sobbing ugly cry that lasts for hours. This is a GOOD thing. Know that I say this will love and true respect, it’s all [...]
Drops of Intention
Had I known 15 years ago what incredible transformation was occurring through my yoga practice, I might have paid more attention to when things were going on. Ah, hindsight, always so perfect. Please excuse me for maybe not getting the exact when of these drops in my slightly-less-than-empty-bucket, I do know it was before I [...]
