I recently started reading a book called, “Saving Wild: Inspiration from 50 Leading Conservationists.” When I initially bought it, I misunderstood the whole concept of the book. I assumed that these 50 conservationists would tell me how I could save the planet. Instead, each conservationist wrote a short personal essay about what inspires them toContinue reading “Tips for Transitioning Towards Sustainable Living”

I get asked this question or a variation of this question from yoga students more often than you’d think. Truthfully, I’ve gotten it more often than any injury or alignment issues/questions. In the movie, Kingdom of Heaven, Balian says that his father told him that he “was to be a good knight.” Tiberias chuckles aContinue reading “Does This Make Me a Bad Yogi?”

Thanks to COVID-19, many of us found ourselves in the position of working from home. This came with a slew of benefits – no commute, more home time, more quality time with the family, and a case of the f*ck its when it came to what we actually wore “to work.” Personally speaking, it playedContinue reading “Pandemic Posture”

A huge component of why we fail to stick withContinue reading “Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Really Work”

I celebrate Christmas, but regardless of the holiday you celebrate, I love the overall change in attitude I see in the vast majority of people duringContinue reading “Can You Survive the Holiday Season?”

With our first snow rapidly approaching, I thought it a good time to cover a few safety tips for shoveling snow. Shoveling, while incredibly inconvenient, can also be a great workout, especially on a day when driving to the gym may not be ideal or particularly worth the risk of driving in bad weather. Unfortunately,Continue reading “Snow Shoveling Safety”

Your fur (scaley or feather) babies have no control over your choices and to the best of our knowledge, they can’t read. Therefore you may understand the warning label attached to the electric cord, but they don’t. Also, unless you’re Doctor Doolittle, you can’t exactly have a conversation with them in order to talk aboutContinue reading “Pet Safety in the Home”
