I received an amazing parcel in the mail a few days ago..from SCOTLAND, no less, and immediately I knew from where it came. My dear friend Lesley, a fellow Himalaya Yogini from my program, massage therapist, artist, dance teacher and luminous ray of sunshine had sent me a package from her home in Scotland after [...]

Namaste All!
So this blog has taken a short hiatus due to my recent trip to India. I spent the past few months living on the gorgeous beaches of Goa, India studying yoga with the Himalaya Yoga Valley. I received my 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher certification after lots of blood, sweat and many many many happy [...]

So I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday. I was a little distracted while visiting my Aunt Linda and my cousins Heidi, Petra and Christian in Wilton and Fairfield Connecticut.
Heidi and Linda just opened up a new pilates, ballet and yoga studio in Fairfield called “Pirouette, Pilates and More“.
Moving our bodies has always been [...]

Yoga Pose of the Week: Fly like an Eagle in Garudasana
Posted in Yoga pose of the week, yoga on July 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As promised, this week I’m bringing you the “King of all Asanas” according to B.K.S. Iyengar…
Eagle Pose, or Garudasana (sometimes spelled Garundasana)
Much to many yogi and yogini’s surprise…Garudasana doesn’t actually translate to “Eagle”… Garuda actually translates to something along the lines of “all-consuming fire of the sun’s rays” or “devourer of serpents“. Eagles, being large [...]
Walk the Plank…Yoga for Sailors!

Being a New Englander…one of my favorite midsummer activities is sailing….well, that’s a stretch. I like watching other people sail who know what they are actually doing, while I just wait to be given a simple task, like skirting the mainsail in a lazy Saturday race, or making sure everyone’s beers are full.
I have some [...]

Because it’s summer, and we all love the idea of spending our weekends out on the ocean, especially now that the weather is nice, I decided “Boat pose” would be [...]

Now that the weather is finally cooperating, knock on wood, I’ve been able to do a lot more of one of my favorite summer activities…kayaking.
Kayaking can be an intensely athletic and competitive endeavor for some, which is wonderful, but for me, I kayak simply for the pleasure of getting my blood flowing and [...]

Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana: “upward facing two-foot staff pose”
Is it just me, or did Monday come extremely quickly this time around?
The gorgeous weather gave me an opportunity to have a jam packed weekend of sailing, yoga and socializing, leaving me a little worn out, dehydrated, and yet extremely content and desiring more weekends like this [...]
