Practical Ways to Adjust Yoga Asanas

August 13, 2024
Hi Warriors! Being a yoga instructor has a lot of challenges, but being able to accommodate your student’s needs should not be one of them. Unfortunately, we get one body to live our lives in and if we don’t have the lived experience of different bodies sometimes it can be difficult to assume what someone

Value Add Part 1: Environmental Health

July 23, 2024
Hello friends! Back in January I introduced this year’s series on the ways that movement and exercise can add value to many areas of our lives. I’ve mentioned that I didn’t intend to take a four month break, so while it is strange to have the first post in this series happen in July, here

Focal Points

July 9, 2024
While I have been quieter here on the blog and on my social media channels the last few months, it has been one sided. I’ve been doing “research” for some upcoming things. And I’ve noticed something. Something that I want to bring to your attention and call out.

Finding Science in the Noise

January 16, 2024
Hello Warriors! Do you often wonder if the program your friend is on is beneficial? Or maybe if the supplement you keep seeing advertised is worth your money? Most clients and students I’ve worked with over the years ask about these things at least once or twice. It seems, especially with the rise of social

Happy Tuesday, Warriors! With January officially in full swing, I want to address the idea of strength. You’ll notice it’s in quotes in the title of this post. The word strength has many connotations, and especially as it relates to wellness, I want to spend a bit of time with it.
