Flexibility will (not) make you better at yoga. This is what I’ve learned.
If I had a pound for every time I’ve been told “I’m not good at yoga because I’m not flexible” or “I can’t do yoga, I don't have flexibility” or something along those lines… I’d be, well… maybe not rich, but I’d certainly have a big jar full of coins! This usually...
Yoga online vs. yoga online… live!
Yoga seems to be everywhere. Maybe it is. Or maybe I’m living in a social media filter bubble where everything is… yoga! Still, yoga has become so prevalent in our society, that the world seems now divided between those who do yoga... and those who don’t. When I...
Help, how do I breath… in yoga?
That’s a question that I’ve been asked more than a few times, ‘Why do you always ask us to breath through the nose?”. Many people are used to breathing through their mouth for no physiological reason, just because they associate ‘exercise’ with exhaling through the...
Habits, routines and building a ‘better’ YOU
NOTE: ’Better’ is subjective and has nothing to do with image, success or the opinion of others. By ‘better’, I mean being more satisfied with life, healthier, happier and knowing that you are doing your best, and following your unique path. I’ve been talking for a...
To Yin or not to Yin yoga… is that a question?

Do I need a morning ritual? And, what is it?
Do I really need a morning ritual? To be honest, I always hated getting up in the morning. Still do. But now I do it with pleasure, and it’s not that suddenly I started enjoying getting up early… what I enjoy is having time for myself, to start the day with the right...
Can our brain cells be replaced? And, how does this relate to yoga?
It used to be common knowledge and widely believed by most neuroscientists, that we were born with all the neurons we were going to have, and that after a certain stage in a child’s development, the brain stopped changing. We thought that the neurons in our brain were...
Is this the fountain of youth?
I am in my 50s. There, I said it. To be precise, 51 as I’m writing this. Soon 52… and so on, because if we are lucky, we grow old. But we seem to forget that, and especially in the west, we try to resist the passage of time instead of embrace it. We arm ourselves with...
