Balancing Funds Teaching Balancing Poses

by Kate Dowdy / business of yoga

balancing poses

Yoga is for everyone, and everyone can benefit from yoga. So yoga should be financially accessible for students. But financial stability (pardon the pun) is a must for the teachers as well as the students. When I first decided to complete a Yoga Teacher Training course I was convinced that I would never teach yoga; […]

Blissful Balance

by Francesca Michelle Lies / connect

blissful balance

As yoga teachers and practitioners, we sometimes walk a fine line when balancing in our roles as teachers, students, and in our personal lives. My favorite definition of Yoga, shared with us by the late T.K.V Desikachar, is “to attain what was previously unattainable.” I’d like to offer this as a starting point in terms […]

I Choose This

by Emily Fleming / connect

I Choose This

I once wrote these words to my teacher: “I’m addicted to love.” “No,” she responded, “you’re addicted to pain.” And now, so clearly, I see it. I keep making the same choices. I have a type: the “unavailable jerk.” He’s not interested in a relationship. He doesn’t ever text me to say, “How was your […]

How Nature Summons The Void

by Andrea Rice / connect

How Nature Summons The Void

Meditation begins as a micro experience of self-awareness before expanding toward a higher state of cosmic consciousness. When we are disconnected from nature, however, the expansion of our practice can become stagnant—it is often a struggle just to sit and breathe. The opportunity to marinate in fresh air and pristine surroundings creates a direct line […]

Our Lineage

by Krista Reierson / connect

I look into the mirror and trace lines of my ancestry; my jaw holds words unspoken from the mouth of my mother and her mother and her mother before, words that are wild and reckless and mighty. I open my jaw as if to unearth, to shake and dust the dirt off used to bury […]

Two Voices

by Verred Hamenahem / connect

As I sit down to write I hear two voices. They are both mine but decidedly different. The first knows I have something to share. She is truth teller, the one with third-eye intuition who speaks so elegantly from her heart when she teaches, so precise and honest with what she says. She moves mountains, […]

Healed

by Bethany Eanes / lifestyle

I believe we will all be healed and made whole through love. Healing is the most beautiful thing we are capable of; watching a cut scab over and scar shows us the intelligence and resilience of this flesh we were born into. Yet we are never healed back to the same thing we once were. […]

by Amanda Kriebel / connect

Did you know that when you are awake you have enough energy buzzing in your brain to power a light bulb? That’s around 10 to 33 watts. Our body is an electrical miracle! It’s a delicate and complicated machine. Our brain is the intricate operating center for the nervous system, which is continually collecting data […]

On the Beauty of Time

by Suzanne Sandler Ungar / connect

As a child I followed my father around his land, memorizing the scientific names of the plants he catalogued like notes from a flute. He cultivated the earth to observe the tendencies of living things. He patiently waited for trees to develop into shade-giving giants, and experimented with leaves and a palette of flowers; fruit, […]
