Hot Yoga
These days, “hot yoga” is the big craze, but what is it? What is the difference between hot and not? Is all hot yoga Bikram? Why should I practice in the heat? These are all questions that many of us have, and with so many varieties, we wonder how to make the right choice. Hot yoga began with a style called Bikram Yoga. Bikram healed his severe knee injury through yoga, and compiled a 26-pose sequence, designed to address ailments of the body. Bikram Yoga …
Welcome the New Year in a Peaceful Way
We’ve all done it. Made resolutions to make huge changes starting January 1st, then by February, we lose our momentum, motivation and hope.

The first thing we need to remember is that we’re all human. …

Hooping for Happiness
Imagine the feeling you get when you’re dancing in a room by yourself…exhilarating but oddly centering at the same time. Hula hooping mimics this same releasing bliss that we all enjoy secretly when no one’s watching. When you’re hula-hooping you can’t think of anything else but keeping your hoop dancing around you. Hooping creates happiness by pulling you out of your head with a playful, silly movement. Guide yourself back to your inner child and encourage yourself …
Benefits of Yoga
Yoga has been around for over two thousand years, and recently has made it into mainstream culture. Some say that yoga is just a fad, but the benefits alone prove it is quickly becoming a way of everyday life. Like most types of movement, yoga benefits the physical body. The unique breath work and moving meditation also benefits the mind and spirit. And the greatest part of yoga is that everyone at any age and level of strength can practice yoga.
The physical benefits of …
