I have now been teaching for over 10 years and one of the main issues that keep students from coming to yoga is wrist and shoulder pain. These issues can be chronic i.e. osteoarthritis or they can be acute i.e. broken elbow. The good news is, none of these problems need to prevent you from practicing yoga.

Coping with a loss is one of the biggest challenges we face as human beings. The most painful type of loss we all deal with is the death of a loved one, however, there are other painful losses including a relationship, a job, a home, a pet, our health, and even our body parts that cause of deep grief. Grief is personal.

When I started practicing yoga, I didn’t understand the importance of Mountain Pose (aka Tadasana). Standing up straight seemed so basic. So why does Mountain Pose matter?

There are as many styles of yoga classes, but, which one is right for you? Some classes are slow and gentle, designed to calm the body and the mind. Other classes are vigorous and high energy, created to burn off mental noise.
