Last week I had a massage. If anything equated with the pains of labor with my second child, it was this massage. I employed every breathing technique, every visualization, every relaxation method I could think of just to get through it. And yes, it was worth it and it was necessary, but I could only [...]

This is going to be a nuts and bolts post. In other words, just the stuff that makes it all fit together for me. Some of you have asked if I “do” anything other than yoga. The answer? Yes. As of about two months ago, that is. And I have to be honest, this “other [...]

Life is so full of change. And as a good friend just counseled, “When one door closes, another opens.” Tomorrow, June 10, will be my last Thursday Power Yoga class in a teaching capacity. This class, in particular, has been my heart and soul for many months now, and I’m so sad to let this [...]

On Saturday, my almost-five-year-old tried to be quiet. And sneaky. And a secret keeper. He sat at the kitchen table, spooning up his honey-sweetened yogurt and cereal combo, and I could see his little wheels working. His thoughts are like carbonation; you can see them bubbling up as he wiggles and fidgets, and then he [...]

This morning was such a gift. I woke up gradually, noticing that I had left the bedroom window open and could hear the birds singing. Usually I wake up to a preschooler who has sneaked in sometime before dawn and tucked himself up under my right arm (this is pretty great, too). And usually there’s [...]

Day 4, Prenatal Intensive. I’ve taken a couple of days to digest the experience of the intensive. And I suppose there should be a preface to this post with a little background information. I’m a wrestler. I’ve wrestled a lot throughout my life with spirituality, duality, non-duality, alternative lifestyle, Christianity, yoga, and philosophy. I wasn’t [...]

Day 3, Prenatal Intensive. It’s been immensely interesting to me that each day of the intensive has had a different vibe to it. On the first, we were all a little nervous, getting to know each other’s stories, and feeling expectant (yep, a word not just for the moms-to-be…) about the workshop. The second, well, [...]

Day 2, Prenatal Intensive. The stomach bug hit our house this morning at 5:15 a.m. My poor preschooler, who always gets hit the worst, is the first man down. And, as always, I start praying. “Dear Lord, please spare me from this.” “Dear Lord, please help my children stay healthy.” “Dear Lord, please, please, please [...]
