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 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.

While a person might be able to get away from a toxic friend, partner, or boss ,  it’s even harder to escape the clutches of a toxic parent or guardian.

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!
