Aquarius 09 - The Change Issue

Change Comes From Within

Change comes from within. Krishnamurti wrote that if you want peace in the world, you must first create peace in your own mind.

Capricorn 08 - The Career Issue

How I Became a Full-time Yoga Teacher

When I made the jump to full time yoga instructor I was in India standing on the balcony of a concrete building overlooking the Ganges River.

Sagittarius 08 & Honest Self Expression

The Yoga of Self Expression

The goal of yoga is to know our selves. In these terms, our self is defined as our true nature, the part of us unconditioned by judgments of good or bad.

Scorpio 08 - The Money Issue

Let It Flow

Years ago, ruffling through the yoga section at a local bookstore, I picked up a book by Kundalini Yoga teacher Gurmukh. I happened to open to a page where she discussed money. In it she wrote something like "If you are ever worried about money, drink a lot of water.

Libra 09 - The Relationship Issue

To Know Ourselves

If you practice Hatha yoga, the type of yoga that involves the physical body, it is easy to get caught up in the shape of poses. It takes time to master common poses like triangle and downward facing dog.

Virgo 09 - The Climate Change Issue

Poses Poses Everywhere

Global warming is a direct result of human lack of concern for the natural world. We have created the problem through our reliance on fossil fuels, our pollution, and our excess consumption. In order to help fix the problem, we must first learn to respect and appreciate the natural world. If we want to create more care and concern for our environment, we need to find ways to feel connected to it.

Leo 09 - The Leadership Issue

Yoga for Leaders

As a leader, one must make decisions quickly and with integrity. People count on a leader to direct the group. A leader must be able to stand by her decisions as well as admit when it is time for an alternate course.

Cancer 09 - The Home Issue

Making a House a Home

Last summer, my husband and I bought an 1840s farmhouse in Underhill, VT. The house was a duplex with two attached barns, a dirt basement, plaster walls covered in layers of wallpaper, knob and tube wiring, and original pine and maple floors. Needless to say, we purchased a project and have spent the last year fixing, remodeling, and updating the house.

Gemini 09 - The Summer Reading Issue

Siddhartha

This summer I recommend revisiting an old classic, "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse. The story of a man who seeks truth, Siddhartha journeys through various ways of life before he finds it’s meaning.

Taurus 09 - The Garden Issue

Tend Your Inner Garden

We, too, require energy from the sun and water moving through our bodies to stay healthy. We walk on the earth and breathe air. We are part of a greater whole, the universe.
