In Motion
September Recap September was full – in the best way. A little travel, a lot of practice and studying, family time, new classes, and that first feeling that the season is changing. Hawaii We spent a week in Hawaii as a family, and it was exactly what we needed. We stayed at Mauna Kea Residences, […]
September, I’m ready for you
Hi everyone 🤍 August was a very local month for me. No travel, no big adventures – just Texas heat, kids, yoga, and trying to keep some kind of routine going. The heat has been intense. Going outside with kids feels almost impossible right now, so we’ve been sticking to indoor places most of the […]

My week in “House Arrest”
The quiet power of doing absolutely nothing A week ago, life put me on pause. Gum graft surgery → no workouts, no yoga, no pranayama, barely talking. Basically… straight into minimum security isolation at home – like a solo retreat. No routine to follow, no way to “optimize recovery”, and a huge amount of yogurt […]
January feels different every year
Over time, I stopped treating January like a challenge to conquer and started using it as a month to listen more carefully to myself. This is what truly supports me right now—not in theory, but in real life. Supportive habits, not discipline experiments I’ve learned that if something feels like a task, I simply won’t […]
Non-Negotiables After 40
Something changes after 40 – quietly at first, then all at once. The body I’ve lived in for decades starts to communicate differently. Recovery takes longer, sleep becomes sacred, and the foods that once worked suddenly don’t. Aging is not something negative to me; it’s something actually good – I’ve learned my lessons, I’ve used […]

How My Habits Evolved Over the Last Years
Fifteen years ago, my approach to fitness, food, and recovery looked completely different from what it does today. Back then, I thought being healthy meant just showing up, sweating hard, and grabbing a “healthy” juice after. Here are 10 ways my habits have shifted over time – from what I used to do, to what […]
New Season, New Habits
September always feels like a second New Year. Once school starts, the whole rhythm of life changes – the mornings have more structure, the evenings get busier, and there’s this quiet invitation in the air to reset and realign. This September, I’m focusing on 3 small habits that feel sustainable: 5-minute Pranayama after practice. One […]
When Yoga Class Isn’t Enough
If you’ve been practicing yoga for a while, chances are you already have a favorite studio, a teacher whose flow you love, or even a time slot that feels like part of your weekly rhythm. Studio classes are wonderful – they give you community, energy, sweat, and that post-class glow we all chase. But here’s […]
