Yoga and sleep are a power pair that can bring about vast life changes. Read the articles here. Continue reading →

Patanjali, writer of the classic yoga text The Sutras, developed the eight limbs of yoga as a guide to help yogis achieve the no thought mind (Unmani Mudra). The eight limbs are incredibly practical even today in the modern world as one delves deeper into a yoga practice for a life of greater peace and quiet, with a healthier mind and body. Though often reserved for teacher trainings, I use the limbs regularly to inform my own practice and teachings. The eight limbs of yoga are simple and easy to understand, yet much more difficult to incorporate into everyday life. Continue reading →

Featured in The New York Times

In this article, Hillary Stout does an incredibly nice job of explaining how important alone time is to tapping into our true spirit and to loosing the false identities we carry with us from the moment we are born. She focuses on the topic of Svadyaya, or self-study, one of the Niyamas (2nd of the 8 Limbs of Yoga), which are life rules espoused by the ancient yogis to help those on a yogic journey to move towards freedom of spirit.
