I often talk about self-care in terms of practices, and as a Yogi that means breathing techniques, mindful movement, meditation, and rest. Practices that nourish the body, steady the mind, and support the deeper journey of self-awareness. Some of these practices are profound and contemplative. Others are beautifully simple. Yet there is a simple, often… Read More
May invites us into a season of light. The days stretch longer, the sun lingers a little later, and the natural world seems to open in every direction. Gardens bloom, trees fill out, and the air itself feels fuller. Nature reminds us of something important: growth rarely happens through force. It happens when the conditions… Read More
This season marks a moment of rebirth for Life’sWork Yoga Therapy studio, and for the community that practices, rests, questions, and grows here, together. In yoga philosophy, we’re reminded again and again that change is not a disruption, but rather part of the rhythm of life. The gunas are always moving, the koshas are always responding, and practice… Read More

While personal practice is foundational, the yoga tradition acknowledges that we do not walk the path alone. The role of sangha (community) and kalyāṇa-mitra (noble friends) is essential. Sangha: The Sacred Community In both yoga and… Read More
Yoga, at its core, is a practice of unity—connecting mind, body, and spirit while fostering a sense of collective well-being. As I shared last month from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, I teach Yoga as the practice of getting connected with our authentic selves AND our community. However, the accessibility and inclusivity of yoga have historically been… Read More
Yoga, often translated to mean union, as derived from its root “to yoke”, offers a unique perspective on belonging and connection. Like many other spiritual practices, Yoga combines effort AND ease, advocates personal growth AND personal responsibility, emphasizes the importance of community AND service, and prioritizes compassion AND love. Now, please do not misunderstand me…. Read More
There is so much to celebrate as we step into the Autumn season: vegetables and fruits of our summer gardens, warm days and cool nights for Home Comings, harvest and Fall festivals and fairs in every neighborhood and community.
