Yoga, Rope Yoga (Russayog), Bikram, Hatha: paths that reveal that your mind is a tool and just that.
To know that you are NOT your thoughts.
To know that yesterday has already happened and tomorrow has not arrived yet.
That what we have is now, today, this moment, this breath.
Anand (Bliss),

I Photo-shopped this image I took at my studio.
The image conveys the beauty my clients feel when they are stretching and building strength (mindful and physical). The studio is a special place I like to share with special people; people who believe in themselves or are willing to believe in themselves. Everyday, we are called upon to do this and everyday invites news experiences, new challenges. Manifesting self-awareness is a great gift we can give ourselves if we choose to. Everyday.

Yoga Ball creates health from the inside out by circulating blood, oxygen and energy throughout the entire body. Each Yoga Ball Pose creates a new pathway for circulation to flow, creating a lush inner-environment. Your endocrine and nervous systems balance, creating a healthy and steady state of mind.
Yoga Ball helps you to reclaim the attitude, energy level and mobility of your youth. Each time you participate, you add peace and clarity within and strength without.
Yoga Ball works with your “internal” tide, your blood, hormones. The ebb and flow of these fluids gets a terrific boost when practicing Yoga Ball, and respond to this new circulatory path quickly.
We learn how to release tension when we engage ourselves in Yoga Ball poses while remaining mentally relaxed. The most important thing anyonecan learn from Yoga Ball is: how to release tension.
“Feel” the positions through your breath.
Be patient with and kind to yourself, and you will benefit from Yoga Ball immediately!

MASTER THE PLANK: Get in the “up” push-up position, with your forearms on the floor instead of your hands. Keep your back straight; hold as long as you can!
DO YOGA! Yoga poses work the core muscles in the center of your body to keep you balanced!
ADD CARDIO: People with good conditioning have the lowest risk of back problems. Cardiovascular exercise helps by providing nutrition to tired muscles!

“Don’t be afraid to meet resistance in meditation. Make the commitment to sit and meditate regularly. A willingness to stay present with the resistance that surfaces during mediation will help you cope with those complex emotions that continually arise in daily life.
While mediating, the mind starts to open; there’s an expansion of awareness. Allow yourself to melt into that spaciousness. Sit slightly longer and meet the resistance that often stems from fear—fear of your emotions, fear of the unknown, and, lastly, fear of your own being.
Listen to your resistance—it almost always has something useful to tell you. Often resistance hides fear, an unwillingness to move deeper, a reluctance to explore an unexamined belief. Experiment with staying inside the meditation posture until you feel shifts—then try staying a little longer and feel the new level that has opened up.” YJ-March ‘09

Allow peace to enter into you. Don’t let fear keep it from finding a place within you. Peace is what we all need to live and live happily. Fear in its way is what it is, but peace that you claim for yourself puts fear in perspective. Always find, go to, claim peace first. Fear will be there too, but which would you rather keep close to your heart?
Breathe Deeply, Live Deeply, Love Deeply and Live in Peace.
