The Non-Zero Day My friend recently wrote a very inspirational essay for reddit. He doesn’t know it, but I think about his comments every single day. The premise of his words?

Keep Stop Start In my yoga classes, I want to emphasize student expectations by accepting feedback in the keep, stop, start format. Your presence, your emotions and your contribution to the world are a projection of your acquired experiences and memories. This is fact.

Recently my boyfriend and I packed up our stuff, piled it up in my parent’s garage and left town. We left our friends, the comfort of having our own home and our jobs. We did this bravely. We are going back and will set up life there again, but for the next ten months, we’re […]
Spring is upon us, and with it comes a desire to make changes in my life. Every year, with the arrival of spring I feel a sense of stagnation in my life, and I desperately seek ways to bring fresh energy into every aspect of my life. In my apartment, I find this fresh energy […]
Each time I write an article for this website, I search online for photos to illustrate my articles. My search of “yoga images,” or “yoga poses” usually reveals a plethora of images of thin, lithe, lean women practicing yoga. These women are absolutely lovely, clad in colourful figure-revealing clothes, sometimes doing advanced poses and usually […]
