(not interested in the Daily 5? Scroll down a bit so you can opt-out of these Daily 5 specific promotional emails) Hey Reader, The DAILY 5 starts tomorrow. If you join the DAILY 5, tomorrow morning you'll receive an email from me with a 5 minute yoga practice. When one of the past participants took that first class, she emailed me to say, "What a way to begin! All of my favorite poses in a simple beautiful flow." Here's what a few participants said over the course of the month long program: "Gosh, I really love these! Thanks for the easy win every day. It's making a difference." "Thanks! These 5 minutes sure have a lot packed in! It's a great way to start the day." "Missed a few days and back at it. Thankful for the ease of jumping back in and without feeling intimidated." "I was hoping to make it to a live class today, but it was not to be. 5 minutes, however, is easy to do. And fun!" "I am baffled at how expertly you cram such good stuff into 5 minutes. I'm already feeling the momentum building and am so grateful." It doesn't get much easier than this. 5 minutes everyday. Lots of variety. Lots of fun. An easy win every day. So, are you in, Reader?

Hey Reader, Over the past few months, my personal movement practice had grown a little stale. I was running 3 days a week and strength training the other 4, plus a little bit of yoga most days. I don't love strength training but I love how it makes my body feel: strong, confident, and capable. But, I was really bored with my strength training practice. Mostly I just wanted to get it over with so I could get to the rest of the day. And then I did something that changed my relationship with...
Hey Reader, This past week, I was sicker than I've been in a long time. What started as a mild cold suddenly morphed into something much less mild plus a 2 day migraine. I'm ok now -- no more migraine, no more coughing jags waking me up in the middle of the night -- but at the peak of that nastiness, all I wanted to do was rest. Well, not all. I actually did still want to move my body. That might sound absolutely nuts. If rest was what my body needed, shouldn't I have given my body that? This...
Hey Reader, I'm about to head out on a hike with my family, so I'm going to keep this quick: I used to love eagle pose, back when my legs weren't quite as strong and my muscles were less defined. That allowed me to get my foot behind my calf muscle fairly easily in eagle pose. But even when I was a newer teacher, I was aware that not everyone could do eagle pose with ease. So whenever I taught it, I reminded my students that the goal is not foot behind leg; the goal is balancing in a...
