This 4th of July, my whole family ran the Redondo Beach 5k / Firecracker Dash. The kids dashed with smiles on their faces, and my older daughter even graduated into the 1/4 mile run division. It was fun for everyone … and the fun kept coming when I got to stretch my body out and […]

If you have a love/hate relationship with me, we have that in common
Sitting at lunch today, I overheard a woman describing her recent public speaking engagement. Apparently, members of the audience at times were dissatisfied or even heckling her, but she couldn’t hear it or see it due to the stage set up. She at one point said her PR rep told her, “They seem to have […]

New yoga podcast: 30-minute mindful yoga
For the first time in a year (how can that be?!?) I added a new yoga class to my free podcast channel. Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: 30 Minute Mindful Yoga & Meditation: Your quiet super vault https://anchor.fm/theyogaharbor/episodes/30-Minute-Mindful-Yoga–Meditation-Your-quiet-super-vault-e21m3hp
The PERMA-V model and the 5 koshas
This is gonna be some pretty nerdy yoga philosophy/self-help stuff. I recently got into Seligman’s PERMA model of wellness (if you haven’t yet, check my newsletter on that here). When I read about this model, it clicked for me on a deep level, but apparently it didn’t click all the way … yet … because […]
The Gatekeepers (and the gatekeepers)
It’s been 18 months since I closed up shop at our Torrance location. And, well, I’m not working nearly as much as I thought I would be. I’m certainly not working nearly as much as my bank account would like me to be. What matters most, though, is I’m not working as much as I’d […]
Add Ritual to the Everyday
I’m on my millionth night home alone with my kids. I want to check the drama there. My oldest is 4. Well, 4 years, 2 months, 10 days. So, I’ve known her in my arms for 1,530 days. I used a calculator. There’s no statistical way, then, that this is my millionth night alone with […]
Lessons from a New Year Half-Mala
I started 2022 in a way I haven’t started a year since 2014: with yoga. I used to practice a half-mala, comprised of 54 Series A Sun Salutes, at the start of every year. This year, vacationing with my family, I had intended to attend a morning yoga class while my husband took the kids […]
My Make-Up with Yoga
Just last month, I wrote, “Perhaps I’ve simply fallen out of love. Perhaps I still love yoga so deeply that a separation is untenable and a reconciliation imminent.” I knew it then. I wanted that blog post to be the bold statement of my retirement. But I knew I’d be takin’ this bitch back. I’m […]
