To Be or Not To Be Happy

“The older I get I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject.”-Florence and the Machine “No Choir” There are countless books and movies that delve into the subject of happiness. It seems society needs reminders about it, because I guess in the end we are all miserable somehow. The media industry knows this, and […]

I Yoga : a Kundalini experience

There is a fire burning from within. I learned this yesterday at my first Kundalini Yoga experience. Kundalini relates to a form of primal energy that resides in all of us. In Hindu tradition, it is also known as Shakti, which, citing directly from Wikipedia, means “power” or “empowerment”, and is the primordial cosmic energy. It […]

Falling into Autumn

Autumn is here. My favortie season of the year. A time where the sun shies away from the intensity of Summer, and nature wraps everything in gorgeous amber tones.

My Yoga Practice
