Why We travel
My husband and I made a commit to each other that we would continue to do 3 things; follow our dreams, continue to travel, and make being together as a family our biggest priority. So far so good! In fact we are approaching a major trilogy of anniversaries; our marriage, our son Dylan, and the […]
The Definition of Yoga
“There are many definitions of yoga, -yoga as the movement from one point to another, higher one -yoga as the bringing together, the unifying of two things -yoga as action with undivided, uninterrupted attention These definitions of yoga have one thing in common: the idea that something changes. This change must bring us to a […]
O2 Yoga goes International!
This January marked the opening of a new O2 Yoga in Mexico City. o2yogamexico.com. My good friend Stephany Weingerz completed O2 Yoga Teacher Training with me back in 2008.

The Lure of the Sirens
Okay, so my husband and sons don’t look like sirens to you but to me, I am being lured back with their sweet song. What is really happening? Well, I am jealous of course! They are still out west exploring and I want to go too. On Saturday, I will be flying out to Phoenix, […]
March 2011 Astanga Primary Series

What the F?
On the eve of my 46th birthday I am feeling both unsettled and more committed than ever to live with love and joy and not be ruled by fear. Not always easy. I received 2 emails tonight which put, I guess, a healthy level of fear into me. One, from a friend we met on […]
Heading Home
Okay, Okay, so not everyone travels for months. The funny thing is, no matter how long you are traveling, you start to feel like you are at the end if the time left is less than the time that has come before. I need to get back to the states for teacher training in a […]
Yoga Citta Vrtti Nirodha
The second of the yoga sutras, 1.2, translates to “yoga is the effort towards steadying the waves of the mind”. I guess I should say, this is the translation I like best. Again, there are many interpretations of these simple words but I like this one because of the word effort. The practice of yoga […]
