Ponderous, man…really ponderous.
Do we make our own destiny or is our path already laid out for us? Are we really “free” to make our own choices… to shape our lives… to change course? I have come to a point in my life that I can honestly say I don’t regret my choices, for the experiences that came from those choices have shaped me into the person I am today. I’m trying more and more to not live... Read More
Sticks and Bones
Alright, this may be a familiar beef across the fashion board, but yoga clothing designers… I have a bone to pick with you! Yoga clothing is supposed to be so comfy you don’t even realize you’re wearing them. They move with you, allow you to breathe, and don’t ride up…anywhere. However, they all seem to be designed for pre-adolescent bodies. Now I am a smaller... Read More
Mental Health Moment
Today we went to the beach armed with sand toys, buckets and our SPF 50. There is something about the water that centers me. Even with all the kids running around and the guys throwing footballs and Frisbees, I found myself sitting in the gentle surf and feeling a peaceful calm wash over me. It was a gorgeous sunny day with just enough of a breeze to keep cool and the waves small... Read More
Stretching from…Toe to Toe?
As part of my immersion into everything yoga, I decided to see what the deal was with Toe Stretchers. For anyone who hasn’t seen them, they look like the toe separators at a nail salon only with a complete loop instead of being open at the top. In my research, I’ve found that Toe Stretchers do more than just stretch your toes apart. They are touted as “passive exercise”... Read More

California Dreamin’
Today was a bittersweet day at EY… Anna is leaving us and heading to sunny California tomorrow to pursue her dream career. I’ve only gotten to know her for a few weeks, and I really wish I met her earlier. Not only is she on top of things at the office, she’s a pretty cool chick who has made me laugh more in the last week than I have the previous month, and even though... Read More
Find Your Happy Place
If there was ever a time I felt I needed yoga, it’s after my 4 year old’s Category 3 meltdown. So I grabbed the latest issue of Yoga Journal and flip to this month’s Home Practice. This series of moves is centered on hip opening moves, and for those of you who are new to yoga, focusing on this area helps relieve stress in a way I never realized. As the author, Stephanie...

Mindful Monday
(I am the newest member of the EverythingYoga.com team and a yoga neophyte. While I’m conditioning myself into all things yoga, I’ll be contributing to the blog for Stephanie. This will be a fun learning experience for all!) I’ll be the first to admit that I need my coffee in the morning before talking to anyone. Really truly. Anyone who knows me will also... Read More
More on Self Awareness
Someone visiting my house recently asked me if I had any margarine. My nose curled up and I said, No! I do NOT have any maaaaaargarine! I have BUTTER. Don’t you know I’m a food snob?” This single event had a ripple-like effect on my self awareness. My New Years resolution is to accept exactly who I am. I have a quick wit, a harsh tone, an incredible sense of generosity,... Read More
Self Awareness
Isn’t it funny how defensive you can get when someone else makes critical assessment of some atribute you have (or don’t have)? You know you have it, everybody who knows you knows you have it, and you go along living with it just fine until someone gets in your face and tells you what they think about it. I have very pale skin. I’d probably think nothing of it;... Read More
