How Yoga Made Me Stop Running.

by on Apr 25, 2013

As I climb on the treadmill today the familiar-faced gentlemen beside me says, “Hi Dani! You’re still running?” He looked surprised to see my yoga bum at the YMCA.

A Revolution to End Goodbyes.

by on Feb 9, 2013

Karma Yoga Turned Bad.

by on Nov 28, 2012

I have been practicing yoga for nearly two decades(daily for almost one) to be left with a big fat ego. I once heard on Oprah that the ego stands for “Edging God Out.” My yoga practice is also my spiritual practice; I aim to bring the beloved into my every move and to be more [...]

Trust. Surrender. Nonattachment.

by on Nov 28, 2012

So you call yourself a yogi? Then can you remain calm, alert and a vessel while your yoga studio burns to the ground? As a yoga practitioner of 17 years and yoga school owner, it has been a dream of mine to visit the motherland of India. I kept putting the idea out there to [...]

by on Mar 4, 2012
