When you practice in your own home, be it the small and humble space of a guest bedroom, office or studio, it becomes a portal to an entire universe. Having a designated space in your home for ritual and contemplation has a long history in India serving to connect domestic life …

Tremble in the Heart

This is the time of year when the dormant ones awaken, shed their dead skin and crawl back to life. In various traditions of tantra yoga, the very prana in our veins is described as moving via a kind of tremble. It is palpable inside as a subtle vibration, like …

Spring Awakening

There is no better time to awaken your faith than now. It is not just the fearless crocus breaking through the frigid soil, nor Jesus on the back of the mule riding into the city where death awaits him, nor the decision of our 30 something friends Peter and Ruth …

The Power of Modern Day Tapas

Amidst news of political, economic and social upheaval lately, it was astonishing to bear witness to the courage of Cory Booker on the Senate floor one week ago. Talk about standing up for what is right! His record shattering ultramarathon oration was not only a protest against ruinous policies but a call …

There are Two Sides to Every Story

In our physical structure we live in two very different bodies. And the more time you spend on the mat, stretching, twisting and arching back, the more you realize that your left and right sides not only have different tensions– even different shapes– but have different “personalities.” Hatha Yoga charts …

The further on we go in life, the more we encounter loss. Loss, we mistakenly believe, is a thing to be avoided. When it comes to mind, body and emotions, many of us have been taught since third grade to “hold it all together.” Impossible! How absurd! This would be like …

Your Signature Self

The biggest hang-up for people on the spiritual path is trying to make themselves better, more fit, more true, more enlightened. On the path, people become like rabbits chasing carrots. They go in circles on the merry-go-round of samsara. After years of thinking you have to be perfect, you finally …

Yertle the Turtle

Yertle the Turtle is one of my very favorite yoga texts and should be included, I think, alongside the Gita and Yoga Sutras in any yoga training course. Written in 1958 by the wacky and wonderful Theodore Geisel, otherwise known as Dr Seuss, it tells the tale of a machismo …

Yoga, the King Cobra, and the Great Protector

Yoga and the figure of the cobra have been linked for thousands of years. In fact it is fair to say that yoga (and specifically kundalini yoga) is synonymous with cobra energy. And what does the cobra represent? Power, protection, essential awareness and yes, magic. Like how is it possible …

Developing a Psychic Shield

For centuries, yoga has detailed strategic ways to practice mind/heart protection. In today’s world, safeguarding your awareness is more needed than ever. Between the perpetual spew on social media, the proliferation of AI, and upheavals taking place socially, politically and environmentally, you need to have a kind of psychic shield. Like a wuxia martial artist —think Crouching Tiger, Hidden …
