Riding the Breath
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011I am so inspired by tonight’s ashtanga practice at Central Street Yoga!

The Light in Me Sees the Light in You
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010Namaste. If you’ve ever been to a yoga class, chances are you’ve heard it.

Yoga: The Panacea
Monday, March 15th, 2010Tonight I completed my first full Ashtanga yoga practice in over a week and I feel absolutely fantastic! I really think yoga is a panacea, or a cure-all.

I Love Yogi Tea!
Thursday, February 19th, 2009I LOVE Yogi Tea! I’m not exactly sure what it is about it…. Perhaps it’s the fact that many of them are organic. Or maybe the fact that so far, they are all delicious (the ones I’ve tried). It could be the fact that it’s called “Yogi Tea” and I am eagerly and passionately striving [...]
