Less than two weeks until The Chair Yoga Deck is released on August 25! I'm so excited to share this with the world. The beauty of yoga is that it can be adapted in so many different ways -- and my intention with this deck was to create a simple and easy guide that can help you practice yoga any time and anywhere! You can pre-order your copy from many online retailers such as Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Target. Thanks for your support!

Many thanks to Jason Parham at WIRED for including my thoughts in this article about the latest bizarre development in AI technology. My opinion in a nutshell: NO, nope, no thanks.

An ad for Orchid suggests the AI agent can fix relationship problems by simply doing everything for inconsiderate partners.

Thanks to Erica Sweeney of Everyday Health for including my thoughts in this article about "floor time", which can be a quick and easy way to relax and de-stress!

TikTok users are saying getting down on the floor can help with stress, mood, posture, and back pain. Learn what experts think.

Many thanks to Scary Mommy for including my thoughts in this article! As a therapist who specializes in working with adult children of narcissists, I often come across these dynamics in my practice. Being able to name and identify these patterns clearly is often a first step in the healing process.

Hi everyone — I have an exciting announcement! It has always been a dream of mine to work with Simon & Schuster… and now I have! My upcoming project, The Chair Yoga Deck, will be released August 25!

This deck is designed to help people of all ages and abilities find a safe and accessible way to practice yoga. Each card includes a beautiful illustration of the pose and detailed instructions for how to perform it (including modifications that accommodate limited range of motion and ability). This deck is for everyone who wants to improve their health and reduce stress — it’s great for beginners and longtime practitioners.

As many of you know, teaching accessible yoga has been a passion of mine for many years — in fact, this years marks 25 years of teaching yoga (can you believe it?) — so I am very excited to see this come to life!

Pre-orders are very important for authors — if you are interested, please pre-order your copy now! You can order the deck from many different retailers, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, Hudson Booksellers, etc!

I spoke with the HuffPost recently about "narcissistic collapse" and what to do if you find yourself on the receiving end of antagonistic or unpredictable behavior. Thanks for reading!

Experts break down how you can respond to deescalate, rather than fuel, the situation.
