Roadblocks to Building Blocks
Instead of seeing roadblocks in yoga as obstacles, reframe them as building blocks, foundations for balance, resilience, and growth.
Pulling Punches
If a boxer is focused on the last punch they took, they’re not going to see the one that’s coming. If a yogi is focused on the pose before they’re not going to be engaged in the one they are in. Guiding the mind back to the moment is a constant challenge. The inner struggle is real. If the mind is distracted, it’s easy to go in a million different directions yet get nowhere at all.
Power of And
You can do hard things AND you don’t have to like it.
You can have a good day and not get your to do list completed. You can love someone and be frustrated with them. You can be happy and sad at the same time. You can fall out of a yoga pose and your value as a human does not change.
Yoga on the Roof the Perfect Note
Words alone don’t quite encapsulate the energy Yoga on the Roof creates. Some may think yoga and the philharmonic is an unlikely collaboration, but yoga is like a symphony; the entire body working in tempo with the breath. One note alone doesn’t make a piece of music great, it’s the whole composition. In yoga it’s not one shape or one part; it’s the body as a whole working together.
Cultivate the Opposite
Cultivating a positive thought every time a negative thought enters the mind sounds simple enough, yet it’s not always easy. The reality of switching your thought process like a light switch, especially when you’re experiencing a challenging time can be very difficult. Developing the opposite is ultimately about changing our attitude toward the person or situation creating the difficulty rather than attempting to change the person or situation itself.
New Year, New Opportunities
Who hasn’t heard the catchy ad slogan, New Year New You applied to everything from diets and fashion to gym memberships? When it comes to yoga, it is the opposite of what yoga is all about.
Yoga is about acceptance, forgiveness, letting go of attachment to false ideas and inviting you to get out of your own way so you can reconnect to the truest self already in existence. Yoga is about clarity and moving beyond illusions and distractions which hide our truest self from our self. It is not about a new self or changing the fundamental being you are.
Gratitude Rocks

Wizard of OM

Crows, Falcons, and Farmers
We are all made to fly. To realize our limitless potential as human beings. But instead we sit on our branches, clinging to the things which are familiar to us. Our possibilities are endless, but for many of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable. Crow pose is an opportunity for us to destroy the branch of fear we cling to. A chance to free ourselves from attachment and experience the exhilaration of flight. Letting go of doing the pose perfectly or doing the hardest variation or better yet, that your value as a human somehow depends on how ‘well’ you do the pose.
Sideways in September
Who takes better care of their cell phones then themselves? Seeing material objects simply as tools which help us to accomplish our goals in life will free us from being controlled by these objects. Enter yoga.
Block Head or Block Party?
A yoga teacher walks over and hands you a block, you:
a.) Smile, and say thank you.
b.) Smile, say thank you and mean it.
c.) Smile, say thank you and internally seethe, you don’t need a stinking block.
Choice c anyone?
