The Absurdity of Not Letting Go
There are many universal laws yet underlining all of them is the law of “change.” You cannot imagine anything that you will not have to say goodbye to because everything will change.

The Essence of a Yoga Pose
All movements can be healing. Then again, all movements can be harmful. What makes the same yoga pose healing or harmful?

The Absurdity of Thoughts
I have been having some interesting thoughts lately. My aging process is allowing me to see more--yeah I think that’s it! Our teacher is our experience, and as we age we gain experiences.

Can I Benefit from a 20 Minute Yoga Practice?

Yoga for Neck and Shoulders
The neck and shoulders are the most famous places within our bodies to display signs of stress in the form of tension. The tension most likely is coming from stress and that stress is displayed or deposited in this region of the body.
One Person Yoga Poses
I have been practicing yoga postures for 40 years and have spent a great deal of time in India studying yoga. Honestly, the only type of yoga pose I ever saw in India was with one person.
