Weekly YogaLetter: Embracing Change

As summer cools down and leaves ready themselves to change to autumn tones of red, yellow, oranges, we are reminded of the challenge and beauty of change.

Today, three classes, back-to-back and no one knew their teacher would be out. Students may never have taken yoga with me and some people are new t… Continue

Inner peace is the most valuable gift you can give to yourself. To achieve this, one has to accept the reality of life.

Hannah Girl Digs Savasana

Hannah is a two year old Corgie who flops over on her back to rest , just about whenever she had enough of what's going on, it's her built in 'time out'. Buddy, our 12 year old Golden, loves Hannah and respects her time in "Savasana" by giving her space. Not only are Buddy and Hannah a good reminder of staying in the moment, but their unconditional love for life is contagious. So, last week, when… Continue

The government just announced the Recovery Act, which means a few things for preventative medicine.

Perspective on Life Through Cancer

Reflecting on life and what is most important is essentially the heart yoga and a cancer diagnosis. Dyan, one of my friend's, used her cancer experience to remind me about what she found most joyful in living. We had long conversations about her family, her childhood, and her… Continue

Opportunity for getting word out

Hi, Yoga Bears.



I have a favor to ask which I think is also a great opportunity for Yoga Bear. Please ask question at Elephant interview with Stefanie Syman http://bit.ly/cD0Zbs .

Back to Square One

Starting over, even with blog posts, as I lost the first version, takes commitment and patience.

Recovering from cancer requires many skills, some of which we have use before and others that we develop. The advantages of exercise are commonsense, but with the… Continue
