We're never really prepared for life and here we are, at a place none of us could have expected. No one is immune to the disappointments, the disruption and the distractions as we try and figure this out. As many are saying, there is no guide book for this experience. The days feel like weeks as...

It looks like with Covid-19's arrival we’ll be getting a serious mindfulness workout about being with the unknown this week and maybe for the next few weeks. Fear may be coming up for you, as naturally happens when answers are not black and white, and the days ahead look uncertain. One thing we...

Last week, Jack Curley and I presented our Attitude of Gratitude Wholebeing Workshop and added some new elements. One of the benefits of the work we do is that we are continuously reading and learning about the most recent studies related to our topics. Gratitude is an interesting one. There is not...

Kelly McGonigal has hit a home run again. She wrote The Upside of Stress and now has a new book called The Joy of Movement. She weaves stories and research in a way no one else can and always leaves me feeling inspired. Yet her words in this book are beyond inspiration. She's not trying to...

I am super excited. Yesterday I signed up to run the Broad Street Run with the Children's Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) team. It's been a long time since I ran an "official" race. Frankly, I thought my running days were over. But after a committed year of functional movement training, it...

A few weeks ago, Alice shared her top five reasons to practice yoga at home which inspired me to get on my mat in my practice space on the days that I’m not able to make it to a group class. As a guide and participant in many group classes, I also know first-hand the benefits of practicing yoga...

A Year of Grounding 2019 was for me a year of grounding, really landing in the life I had, exactly as it was and planting deep roots around the things that mattered to me. With my children we navigated the trepidation of waiting for college acceptances, saying yes to the selected schools and then...

Why Dogs? The practice of yoga is known to be about 3 to 5 thousand years old so it's a bit hard to exactly track how the poses evolved. I shared before that I subscribe to my own theory that the origins of downward dog evolved from the ancient yogis merely looking around. They, like us, spent a...
