Inner balance eluding you? This will help.

quote - Mark Twain

Twice a month we get the perfect chance as teachers to inspire in our students an appreciation for the introspective side of their nature. The days of the full and new moons are great opportunities to draw attention to our feminine side and give permission to honor it. These are some of my favorite times […]

Need an awesome supine sequence to complete your practice?

January 19, 2016 By Rupali Embry 9 Comments

Supine sequence is a great way to finish your practice.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to a ridiculously early conditioning class that’s been running for about 30 years. It’s so popular that I have to leave my house at 5am to get a spot in class. By the time I set up my weights and other workout paraphernalia, I still have about 35 minutes […]
