Aside from flying pigeon pose, eka pada koundinyasana 2 aka split leg arm balance was another pose that totally seemed way over my head. I could get into lizard pose, but from there I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to lift that front leg.

How to do 8 Angle Pose

January 20, 2015

The 2015 Spring yoga retreats are beginning to fill up! Come join us for a weekend or week of yoga!

We're approaching the final days of the 31 Day Strength Program so I thought I'd take a moment to break down astavakrasana pose, aka eight angle pose. This one, in my opinion, looks harder than it actually is. It's not so much about strength (although there is an element of strength involved), as it is about finding the balance between the hips lifting up and the legs extending. If the hips are too low, the legs will be off, and vice versa. So just play around in it.

Students are signing up for the 2015 Spring yoga retreats - Don't be left behind!

Sometimes I love technology. Like the fact that I get to communicate with all of you and work from wherever I am in the world is mind-blowingly awesome.

Other times, I loathe technology. Like yesterday when it took over sixteen hours to upload a video that normally takes three hours.

Personal Yoga Practice and Scorpion Pose Progress

February 25, 2014

Due to some back problems and the ol' ab injury creeping back in, I backed off my personal practice for a few weeks in December- sometimes you just need a break, you know? After a couple weeks of "rest" (I was still teaching five times a week, so it's not like I wasn't practicing at all) I felt ready to get back at it, and I made a promise to myself to step on the mat more for myself.

Lately, I've been working on some major hip opening stuff (see below) and arm balances. The hip opening is crazy... Click below to read more.
