Today is January 18^th. 

I heard somewhere that most New Year’s resolutions are done by the 15^th. The passion is gone.

So, it makes sense that many people’s motivation is running out…just about now.

Why is that?

Let’s take healthy eating for example…When you...

Here is a perfect example:  Vrksasana or Tree Pose. 

I remember back in the day when I first starting teaching yoga that I used to stand around in the studio lobby chatting with fellow teachers and students all while standing in tree pose.

Now when I say tree pose, I mean the picture...

I am a huge proponent of props in my yoga practice.  It doesn’t matter how long one has been practicing, their current level of flexibility or strength. I feel that props allow you to experience the pose at its fullest.

Here is a perfect example:  Ardha Uttanasana or Half Forward...

I am going to get real here….

I used to absolutely love the holiday season but over the past several years I become thoroughly depleted this time of year.  I hate to say this but I feel like Christmas has become just another thing on my to-do list…the scheduling, the gifts,...

It is Thursday and the weekend is upon us and I am sure you are looking forward to a break from the weekday grind, right? So what does that mean for your eating habits?

• Do your weekday eating habits change on the weekend? 
• Is Friday a license to booze it up and eat whatever you...

My nearly 10-year old son is obsessed with golf!

Yes, that is right. I was home from college one summer and decided to try a class at my local club (ironically where I ended up teaching yoga when I moved back to Richmond).

I cannot remember what it was exactly that I did not like but I walked away thinking this is just not for me.

And at the...

I don’t know about you but I certainly have a love/hate relationship with the bathroom scale. 

In my adult (and teenage) life there have been so many instances where I have stepped on the scale only to feel defeated and angry that the numbers have gone up instead of down or stayed the...

It is true that metabolism slows with age but it does not mean that weight gain is inevitable.

Here are the cliff notes version of 4 factors which affect metabolism (which by the way, many are under our control!)

• Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): The number of calories you burn just to keep you...

I often hear this question from clients and I have been down that road myself.

Do you feel like you are eating right and exercising but not getting the results you desire? 

Or perhaps your weight loss has plateaued and all you work seems like it’s for nothing?

This may not be what you...

Yes, this is me. I know…Where are the yoga pants? The tennis skirt? 

I came across this picture recently.  It was taken in China like a million years ago while I was working for an NGO in Washington DC. 

I look back at my former career with fond memories…a great...
