Today's favorite thing, thanks to the NYTimes 'The Good List': Traffic Music! 🎶 🚗 🚌 🚓 🚙 🎶 ~ "Real traffic... Every car that crosses the line plays a note, and the music is being made in your browser as they go past."

Choose a freeway. Choose your instruments. Listen and enjoy.
Brilliant. Check it out. 🧘‍♀️

My latest newsletter: The Backpack 🎒☮

I’ve been reflecting on accumulated stress lately. The way life keeps piling things on, one at a time – sometimes small, sometimes not so small – until you’re stooped over, barely able to carry the load. You didn’t even realize it had become so heavy.

I'm not only a yoga nerd, friends – I'm also a Pilates nerd. 🤓 Pilates makes a wonderful complement to yoga – especially for supporting core strength and balance as we age. Yay for me for joining the 250 Club at ! 🎉 Thanks, Nene, for a fun class today!

Your Yoga Practice is Bigger Than You Think - my latest newsletter ✨🙏✨

It makes sense that, for many of us, āsana – the physical postures – has been the entry point to the practice. Indeed, this was my own introduction to yoga once upon a time.

"Today" by

Today I'm flying low and I'm
not saying a word.
I'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.

The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.

But I'm taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I'm traveling
a terrific distance.

Stillness. One of the doors
into the temple.

"Having a busy mind doesn’t mean you’re bad at meditation.
It only means you have a busy mind."

What is the kosha model? And why is it so central to yoga therapy? – My latest newsletter 🧅🌀🐚🌈

One of the things that makes yoga therapy distinct from studio yoga classes, psychotherapy, physical therapy, or massage is the intentional way we work with the kosha model.
