Life can move fast. Between work, family, constant notifications, and the never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of rushing and reacting. But your nervous system was never designed to operate in overdrive all the time. It needs space. It needs slowness. It needs care.

That’s why I’ve been leaning into slow living — small, intentional choices that make daily life feel softer and more manageable. And honestly? Sometimes slow living looks like prepping a few freezer bag mea...

One of the biggest stressors on the nervous system isn’t always the big life changes — it’s the tiny, constant decisions we make all day long. What to wear. When to work out. Which emails to respond to first. And… the dreaded “What’s for dinner?”

This decision fatigue is real. And when our brains are already tired, our bodies feel it, too. That’s when we’re more likely to reach for snacks instead of a nourishing meal or end up eating something that leaves us feeling depleted rather than support...

When I think about the most commonly butchered pose in yoga, my mind instantly goes to Chaturanga Dandasana. You know the one: that “half push-up” that we fly through between plank and upward dog.

If you’ve ever heard a student say, “my shoulders hurt when I do yoga,” there’s a good chance this pose is partly to blame. And as yoga teachers, it’s our job to not only teach Chaturanga, but to teach it well—so students stay safe, build strength, and keep coming back.

Today I want to break down how...

Half Pigeon Pose is one of the most recognized hip openers in modern yoga — but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. While the shape can look peaceful from the outside, many students experience discomfort, instability, or even pain in the pose.

If you teach yoga, it’s essential to know how to cue Half Pigeon Pose for safety, offer meaningful variations, and sequence your classes in a way that supports your students physically and energetically.
