What if you were practiced in knowing what your body needs? What if stepping onto your mat and moving was intuitive? Here's the deal: no matter how masterful your teacher, they don't live in your body. They'll never know exactly what you need better than you do. Because my mission is to empower you in owning your practice so you can know yourself better, I'm sharing 3 tips to knowing what your body needs.

Today, I’m sharing with you what I've already let go of in my yoga practice, in case you need some inspiration. Three things. It’s a short list of mindsets and practices which I've learned don’t work on the mat—not just because they tend to lead us toward injury—because they go against the purpose of this practice in so many ways.

I love a studio practice, but there are big benefits to building and sustaining a home yoga practice that'll serve you for life and deepen your practice like no studio can. Today, I urge you to keep coming to your mat especially if you're in a place where things are shutting down again due to COVID cases spiking, and your stress levels are high. Don't know where to start? I came up with these 4 simple, actionable steps for you.

Yoga is more than just postures on a mat, or getting physically stronger. We begin with the body, and the practice moves deeper from there toward our mind and heart. I feel that some of yoga's most valuable teachings are about resilience and equanimity. These 5 resilience practices come from my own experiences and knowledge gathered in inquiry of a yoga practice.

What if I told you that there is no such thing as "correct alignment"? Don't get me wrong--I'm not about completely tossing out alignment in your practice. There's value in understanding a basic framework for your poses. What I am saying is that there is often WAY too much emphasis on the aesthetics of a pose in comparison to focusing on the actions occurring and how it feels.

A couple times this week, I had moments where things went REALLY wrong. I’m talking bathroom ant invasion at 4am when I need to get ready and leave the house by 5am (plus ice on my SoCal windshield that same morning) kinda wrong. Moments you don’t anticipate, which throw a wrench into how you thought things would go.
