Yogi Confessions Part 1
I did something today I swore I’d never do. I went inside a Lululemon. I bought $78 yoga pants. I’m still not sure how I feel about it. When I first became aware that there was a store called Lululemon which sold yoga apparel at high prices, I thought, “Oh, I guess they give a percentage of their sales to orphanages in Sri Lanka or source their f

Yoga Selfie
I’ve read a few different articles about yoga selfies, how teachers who are posting pictures of themselves in challenging postures in exotic locations are getting yoga all wrong. I’d like to offer an alternative view to these critiques: It’s an egotistical display of show-offery It’s presumptuous to assume the intention behi

Wash, Rinse, Repeat
I want to be upfront: I love the snow. I used to live in Ithaca, NY, home of the most blustery, wintery coldest months, and that thing that everyone would complain about–the interminable snow–well, it was kinda my favorite part. I’m partial to winter: I was born on the winter solstice 35 years ago, and as far as I’m concerne

Yoga Butt
Who doesn’t want a yoga butt?! Well, it may depend on which definition you’re using. ‘Yoga Butt’- once the phrase for a supposedly enviable perky derriere – is now a term often used to refer to a pesky overstretch injury at the top of the hamstrings.

How I Learned to Love Getting Up in the Morning
from guest blogger Jessica Ardis: This is how I felt about getting out of bed for my first 37 years on the planet: On a good day.
