I am writing these lines while lying on my belly in sphinx pose. My mat is under me and I feel so calm and fulfilled today. I just read a comment from someone who is embarking on his 200 hours TTC journey and it made me remember my own journey. I watched this video I recorded in February 2015 before …

It hit me yesterday during Sunday’s 11 am class. I was guiding my students to take a few deep breaths before we started the asana class and all of a sudden my mind was “Holy sh*it, you are teaching a yoga class!” It’s been a year and 4 months since I start teaching. Sometimes it feels like …

Dear yogis & yoginis! Today is a good day to share with you my reason to do yoga. I started practicing yoga back in 2010. What started as a fitness practice, a way to stretch my muscles and bring more energy into my body after a full day in front of my desk, slowly became my favorite thing to do …
