Opening With Yoga. ~ Kristie Leahy

If we want to be able to love externally, we would access more of our full potential by learning ways to love ourselves first. In our lives, the internal and the external often reflect one another. Sometimes we need to address the external to get to the internal and other times it’s best to go [...]

   * Note: I received this book for free, in return for a guarantee that I would review it. Having said that, I say what I want—good and bad, happy and sad. As I sat down with this book, I was not sure what to expect. Was it a book about diet and healthy living [...]

I Found Beauty in My Armpit Hair.

via on May 22, 2013

My favourite part of the day was taking off my clothes and staring at my armpits. 11:45AM—12:05PM, my designated shower time. It was during these 20 minutes I learned to let go of the absence of. The bathroom was small and still warm from the previous bather. I shut the door and was in the [...]

Don’t Drag Him to Yoga—Let Him Be a Man. ~ Shasta Townsend

via on May 22, 2013

One way to encourage your husband to join you on the mat is to just let it all be. Stop telling him he should stop smoking, lose ten pounds, not eat hamburgers or watch less football. He sees this as criticism and we tend to not want to spend time with those who criticize us.

Just Say Yes: 5 Lessons Gained from My First Yoga Retreat. ~ Michelle White

via on May 21, 2013

I debated. Bali is a long way to travel from Los Angeles for just a week, I had never been to Asia, the flight would be the longest I’d ever taken and I didn’t have any extra time off work for further exploration. But a quick trip was better than none, and I was looking forward to a dedicated week of daily yoga, eating healthy and relaxation…

It Flows Through You. ~ Kelsey Frazier

via on May 21, 2013

And yet, it occurred to me that there is one thing I can do in every moment: Be true to my self. This is a self that is ready to love, ready to shine, ready to be extraordinary and inspire other towards the extraordinary in themselves—because you are all (whether you know it or not) extraordinary.

Why I’m Not Buying the Whole Forgiveness Trend in Yoga & Spirituality.

via on May 20, 2013

Is it just me, or have you noticed that the word “forgiveness” has been thrown around this year ad nauseam as a spiritual cure-all in Facebook posts, on Twitter and even on Oprah? Forgiveness has been designated as the number one way to be more spiritual and has been heralded by some as the definition [...]

Who’s Your Teacher? ~ Anne Samit

via on May 20, 2013

In yoga, how old we are apparently doesn’t matter. Yoga seems to be an equalizer. This might not be evident when walking by each other on the street, but once we are on the mat, it’s really so easy to see.

10 Lessons from My Yoga Travels. ~ Lucy St. John

Gaining Yogic Wisdom While Sailing Down the Pacific West Coast. I’m a little bit of everything; a yogi, sailor and teacher. In October, I sailed from Vancouver, Canada to Ensenada, Mexico to travel and teach yogic knowledge. When I enrolled at a new studio that was close to the boat before leaving, I thought it [...]

3 Poses to Help the Psoas. ~ Heidi Templeton

I became fascinated with this muscle once I figured out that I need to keep it happy to keep my lower back happy.

When the muscle becomes tight from injuries, poor posture, sitting for a fair amount of time or even stress, it can alter how the pelvis, lumbar, thoracic and even cervical vertebrae function and can typically lead to pain down the front of the thigh and along the lower to mid spinal column.

Why a Yogi Does Not Succumb to the General Idea of What People “Think” of Yogis. ~ Ana Yansi

via on May 20, 2013

Beyond getting a tattoo, using a japa-mala as a kind of jewellery, eating organic food, being a thriving vegan or proclaiming yourself as ecologist, among many other recurring habits, among the yogic Kula (community), there is a developed mood of self-well-being that makes you less interfered with by the outside and excluded of what others think of your lifestyle.

How Do You Know It’s Time to Let Go?

Why do patterns hold on? The patterns of identification that limit us weren’t always limiting. They were adaptive. If you grew up in a threatening environment, learning how to fly under the radar was adaptive. Playing small and keeping quiet protected you. The pattern protected you. But your life has changed. You’ve matured. The world [...]
