Yoga Journal DVD Reviews Coming Soon!

So many students and friends ask me about good yoga DVDs to use in their home practice. I am very lucky to have been given the opportunity to review a selection of Yoga Journal's DVDs. In the next several months I'll be publishing a series of reviews -- including home practice, therapeutic and live practice DVDs. If there's something particular you'd like me to check out just let me know and I'll ask for a copy and let you know what I think. I hope these reviews are helpful; I'm excited about using these at home and then sharing my thoughts with you about their usefulness and the practicalities of integrating what I learn into daily practice!

It's Spring and it's a Good Time to Stretch Yourself!

As the days lengthen and the temps begin to rise (although we have snow in the forecast for WI tomorrow) it's a great time to consider stretching your practice. Do something you've never tried before. Try going to a slower class if your usual practice is more aggressive. Try a flow class if you're daily practice is yin style. Be a little adventurous and have fun. And bring that same sense of adventure to the rest of your life -- take a painting class, ride your bike more, have a dinner party and get out the good china. Adventures don't have to be over the top (not that there's anything wrong with a trip to Paris) to be life changing. Remember that it's the practice that counts and practicing being adventurous in little ways can have a big impact.
