I am one of those people who prefers being hot over being cold. During these winter months my toes are constantly hurting because they are so cold and I get this inner chill that is hard to shake. As a yogi, the best way to escape the bitter temperatures is to head to the nearest …

Personal Practice
I love the fact that you are constantly learning in yoga. I try to take different types of classes throughout my neighborhood and manhattan whenever I can so that I can continue to add to my knowledge of yoga asana and philosophy. However, then there are those days where I don't feel like heading out …
Your Practice
When it comes to your yoga practice remember that it's personal. It can be however you want it to be. It doesn't have to be an hour and a half long class at a studio or some half hour of silent meditation. You can meditate for a minute and have completed your practice for the day. …
Too quiet to sleep
I know that I said I would keep you posted about my retreat while I was there. But, the wireless was not as strong as I had expected and I was not able to access my blog while I was away. It was actually incredibly nice to not be hooked into my electronics while enjoying the …
Can You Tell That I’m Smizing?
If you're not a Tyra Banks fan I will explain that "smizing" is smiling with your eyes. This afternoon I went for my wedding hair and makeup trial and thought I would share with you all a sneak peak of my eye makeup: So now I'm all done-up with no where to go... Well that's not …

Living Close to Work
I live about a 20 minute walk away from the studio. Which is great for me because I don't have my own car right now and parking is hard to find in town, not to mention expensive! Walking to the studio is a great time to clear my head, enjoy a new podcast or find …
Sunday Sunday Sunday
Most people are not too pleased when they realize they have only a few hours left to their weekend. They dread going back to the Monday grind, staring at a computer for hours, and realizing they have very little time for themselves. While I am tired from working all weekend at the studio, and I …
Let’s Go To The Beach
Here in Princeton, New Jersey today was a gloomy, rainy, dreary day. As the rain fell and melted the snow I was dreaming of warmer weather and white sandy beaches. So I decided to go on vacation. That is, I had my students throughout the day visualize a tropical beach as a relaxation technique. So if you …
