Quixotic is a new word I learned today. I love the way it sounds, like ‘exotic’ but with ‘quick’ at the beginning.

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone gave me a reason they can’t start a yoga practice. It’s usually based on some pose they think they can’t do, a...

Power Yoga Retreats is a business I share with my lovely, blonde friend, Krista. Right now, PYR retreaters are reading a New York Times Best Seller called “You Are A Badass” by Jen Sincero for discussion on our December yoga retreat at a luxurious home in Puerto Vallar...

I just went on a wonderful adventure with my daughter to Spain. One of my favorite moments was to see her so happy on the beaches we visited. When we first stepped onto the sand of San Sebastian’s la Concha beach, her face changed. You know, being a European beach ther...

“How you go about your work in the world determines whether your work is a vehicle for your spiri...

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
A beautiful and possibly completely misunderstood platitude.

It’s written on the baseboard around my studio. When I began yoga, I studied words like a fiend. I would look up words I thought I already had a thorough understanding of onl...

This one time, at Esalen, we weren’t supposed to take pot, but everyone did.

With that in mind…..I was sitting at one of the outdoor dining tables overlooking the glorious Big Sur coastline, when one of the girls in my work-study group came up behind me. She gave me a...

I’m less than four weeks away from my next adventure to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. I applied for a 28 day work study program. My course of study this time will be writing and improv in a group lead by playwright, Ann Randolph. When I tell people what...
