Taking your practice with you everywhere.

Yogic Self- Care and Planning

How do you feel about planning and how do you respond if your plans don't go as you wished? Yoga teaches flexibility not just in the hamstrings but also in the mind relating to our thoughts, plans, actions and responses to our self and others.

Outdoor Yoga For Wellness

Exposure to nature has been linked to a host of benefits, including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders and even upticks in empathy and cooperation. Most research so far has focused on green spaces such as parks and forests, and researchers are now also beginning to study the benefits of blue spaces, places with river and ocean views. And now let’s add the healing powers of outdoor YOGA on the Hudson River !

The Space In Between

The spine is one of the most important parts of your body. Without it, you could not keep yourself upright or even stand up. It gives your body structure and support. It allows you to move about freely and to bend with flexibility. Keeping your spine healthy is vital if you want to live an active life. Many of the postures in yoga gently strengthen the muscles in the back, as well as the abdominal muscles. Back and abdominal muscles are essential components of the muscular network of the spine, helping the body maintain proper upright posture and movement. This is the mark I want to make on myself as I age.

IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME

Join me this fall for some new workshops & classes at Ascend Center & Ful-Being Collective that go into the fundamentals of asana, movement, breath and self-expression towards nurturing yourself and the ways to move towards deeper awareness in claiming your space from within to help bring you balance to share it out .

The Summertime PAUSE

Have you felt the heat and created some simple rituals to help you slow down and shift the way you feel and go about your day-to-day in the summertime? I have. I try to conjure up the feelings of endlessness of summer days like when I was a kid lying on the beach towel looking at the clouds floating by trying to pass time it during adult swim at the town swim club.
