I'm bored with this narrative I have of myself. Yeah, it can keep me safe, but it also keeps me in. It holds me back.

What I’ve Learned about Forgiveness
In light of the #metoo movement, I've come across some interesting discussions about the role of forgiveness--whether it's an outdated concept, what its utility even is, who gets to give and receive it. I've been on this long road of forgiveness for a few years myself, and I've done some helpful reading on the topic, …
Being Injured, Being Humbled
I've never understood why people respond to winning awards or recognition with "I am so humbled by this." My instinct says the opposite of that should be true - now that everyone knows you're the most eligible bachelor in Tampa under the age of 30, or whatever, you should feel like hot stuff. And feeling …
Poem: A Beat Behind
A Beat Behind Kant says we are removed from these moments of our lives and we only know their effect just as our vision of stars’ light, living on after their technicolored deaths, is distant from the star itself, heaving gas and heat, a flame – no, a frame of light just visible and always …

This is a follow-up to my previous post, "Office Yoga: Part I," in which I gave options for stretching while still at your desk or in your office. In this post, we'll delve into options for after you've come home for the day. These stretches will be focused on the same body parts mentioned in my …
Office Yoga: Part I
Habitually sitting can create a lot of tension in our bodies. If you find yourself often hunching over a book, computer, or steering wheel, your hips are likely closed, you may have a tight neck and tense shoulders, you likely feel tension in your wrists and legs, and maybe even pain in your neck and low back. Since we live …
Yoga Myths DEBUNKED
In discussing yoga, which I often do because I teach vinyasa flow classes, I sometimes hear people express their fears in regards to attending a yoga class for the first time. Below I've written up many of the common concerns I hear, and my responses to those. If you have any other questions or would …
Awesome Outdoorsy Women to Follow on Social Media
I love being outside, but sometimes you have to spend a little time inside, whether it's due to an injury, a job, a commitment, the weather, or- you know- the fact that it's nighttime. Whatever the reason, many of us outdoor fiends end up on social media, and occasionally seeing other people's adventures can inspire us …
