I was a lawyer when I took my first yoga class about 20 years ago. It was a weekly offering at our local YMCA. I still remember the wave of fear I experienced when our teacher told us to “let go of the past, let go of the future – just be present in [...]

My partner’s mom passed away two weeks ago at the age of 88. Val was, in many ways, an uncomplicated woman. Her favorite advice to me, her children, co-workers — anybody who would listen, really – was, simply, “Be happy!” Gloria has a favorite story about her mom. It took place only a year or [...]

We spoke of Christmas. I don’t know if it’s the economy, [...]
For the next several blog entries, I will be sharing my thoughts on how our choice of language affects our moods, attitude, and – ultimately — the level of joy we experience in life. Have you ever heard that the sweetest sound to our ears is our own name? All words, in fact, represent unique [...]

Last week, our yoga nidra class was engaged in a lively conversation about karma and ego, when a student raised her hand.
