Jnana yoga is about developing inner wisdom. Key concepts within it are that we are one; We are infinite; We are connected; We are perfect, whole and complete. Clarity comes from not veiling or covering over our most essential nature…

We want to unplug. We want a break from all the noise and confusion in life. We want to take off and have nothing to do, no one to listen to, no email or texts to respond to. We just want to be free. So we sign up for a silent retreat…

I have had an amazing, transformative experience every time I've attended Shakti Fest, at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, and this year was no exception. The festival is a full weekend of live sacred music and yoga with the most open-hearted people I've ever met. Reflecting on the 9th annual festival, I was overwhelmed with highlights, but the practical Capricorn in me has a few tips and take-aways I'd love to share with you…

My favorite part is how people come together from all over the country: old friends and new friends, that sweetness of friendship and celebrating the path of love, the journey of love. Specifically at Shakti, celebrating the divine feminine. I’ve felt this great connection to my own mother, my first guru, love for the mother. That is very easy to translate into a relationship to God as Divine Mother…

It was a truly magical experience. As I entered the tent that was serving as a stage for this marvelous performance my eyes were immediately drawn upwards. There I was greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors. They gave me much of the same sensation as being a child and looking through that treasured kaleidoscope for the first time...

In the past I avoided Lightning In A Bottle (LIB) because I assumed it was too LA. Covering LIB for SF Yoga Mag last year changed that perspective for me and I absolutely loved it…

One of the things that we learn in yoga is that "we have issues in our tissues" and that the practice of moving the body can bring some of the trapped energy (issues) to the surface. For example, it is not uncommon for yogis to find themselves in tears for what feels like no reason after doing several poses that engage the hips or open the chest/heart space...
