I love giving gifts, and I try to find excuses to do it throughout the year, not just during the holidays. It can be challenging to find the perfect gift ideas, but if someone on your list is a fitness or yoga lover, I’ve got you covered. I’ve been working on my 2016 Gift Ideas for […]

If You’re a Yoga Teacher, Where Are All the Handstand Selfies?
I have a Your Body Best Instagram account. It’s not a record-breaking account, by any stretch. And maybe that’s partly because I don’t post a lot of handstand selfies. In fact, there’s not a single handstand picture there. And why not? Handstands are fun! Handstands get lots of likes! If you’re really a yoga teacher, […]
On My Way to India!
Tomorrow, I’m leaving for India and my next 300 hours of yoga teacher training. This is a process that started back in May when I applied for the program. And really, it started long before that…we could go way back to 2007 when I completed my first teacher training at the same school. Afterward, I […]
Chocolate Meditation, Yoga, and Coffee Tasting Event!
I’m so excited about this special event! On September 22 at 2:00pm, I’ll be teaching a chocolate meditation and yoga class, followed by a coffee tasting! I’m thrilled about this, not only because yoga, chocolate, and coffee are three of my favorite things, but also because I get to introduce my homeland to some of […]
How to Choose a Yoga Teacher Training Program
Choosing a yoga teacher training program this second time was easy: I wanted to go back and continue my studies with my teacher Yogrishi Vishvketu. When I was wondering how to choose a yoga teacher training program for the first time, I knew two things: I wanted an immersive program (five weeks straight instead of every […]
YogDev Yoga Wheel Review
(I received this product as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) I have been wanting to play with one of these for ages! They looked like so much fun (and made backbends look especially delicious), so I was very excited when YogDev asked me if I’d like to […]
Managing Setbacks
Back in May, I signed up for my next 300 hours of yoga teacher training. In November, I’m going back to India to the ashram where I did my first training nine years ago to continue my studies with my teacher. The time is quickly approaching, and I’ve been mired in logistics for the […]
Doing Yoga When You Need to Do Yoga
For the last couple of weeks (and really, extending into the last couple of months if we count all the putting-it-off I did), I’ve been torn about a decision. Either choice led to the same outcome, they were just different ways of getting there. That said, it wasn’t trivial. Both options involved travel, timelines and approvals […]
5 Yoga Poses You Can Do Right Now
People say they can’t do yoga for this reason or that reason, but the truth is, yoga really is for everyone. Not ALL yoga poses are for everyone, mind you, but everyone can do something. You can even do yoga from a chair. These are five basic, gentle poses that almost anyone can do. If […]
Thinking Less and Saying Yes: The Art of Spontaneity
A few months ago, I bought tickets to Guatemala. For a variety of reasons, Brent and I decided not to go. I was sad, but I put it out of my mind because thinking less or not at all about it was the only way I could cope with the idea of having purchased a plane […]
