Thank You. Yoga and Gratitude

August 24, 2015 by charlotte bradley

Thank You. Yoga and Gratitude

There is a lot of talk about gratitude these days. Gratitude is the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful. It may seem cliché, but I believe that embodying gratitude is powerful and transformative. I am filled to the brim with gratitude this week. My mom fell and has been in the hospital. Although […]

For the Love of Yoga Props

For the Love of Yoga Props

Here in Ottawa, Canada we are going through a serious heat wave. I am also nursing a calf strain (geez those things hang on forever). These things combined have put me full on into “restorative yoga mode.” When I first started yoga, I shunned the gentler styles. And props? No thank you. I didn’t need them… That was many […]

Surviving Frustration in your Yoga Practice

July 29, 2015 by charlotte bradley

Surviving Frustration in your Yoga Practice

Usually, going to my karate class is a stress reliever. I almost always leave feeling better no matter what kind of day I have had. But once in awhile I get incredibly frustrated. This happened on Monday with a specific technique we were learning. It just wasn’t gelling for me. I kept missing details and […]

Yin Yoga for Summer Self-Care

Yin Yoga for Summer Self-Care

This morning I was chatting with a friend of mine who runs a karate school. He has added a couple of morning classes for the summer to try to keep the kids engaged in karate over the summer. When the kids stop training for a period, they are more likely to give up all together. […]

The Joy of Waking Up to Yoga

The Joy of Waking Up to Yoga

In March I turned 45. It’s not really known as a milestone year – like turning 16 or 40 is. But I felt like creating a shift in my life. For me, transformation starts in the body. When I wanted to gain confidence and become strong, I started karate. When I couldn’t do that for […]

Nine Tips for your Downward Dog

Nine Tips for your Downward Dog

Downward Dog. It is one of the most ubiquitous yoga poses.  If you have been doing yoga for even a little while, you have probably done many, many Down Dogs. It is a part of almost every yoga class. It is seen in warm-ups, sun salutations, as a standalone pose and is often a resting […]

Four Yoga Poses to Stretch Your Calves

Four Yoga Poses to Stretch Your Calves

If you play any sport, you are probably familiar with sore calves! I am not quite sure what I did, but in my martial arts class on Monday, my right calf started to hurt. It would have been wise to stop but I continued. The next day it seemed ok so I went out for […]

Yoga for the Summer Solstice

Yoga for the Summer Solstice

My kids are so excited that school ends this week. Bring on the long, lazy summer days. Do you remember that awesome feeling?  I think it is the sense of freedom that makes it so irresistibly delicious. No classes or homework. Summer jobs without the adult responsibility. Bonfires, fireflies and entire days spent roaming around […]

Yoga for Runners

Yoga for Runners

I don’t think I qualify as a runner (yet!)  I have participated in two Spartan races but those were more about the obstacles and some tenacity than the running. And last summer I ran my first 5k. But I haven’t kept it up. So I have decided to sign up for a 10k in the fall. […]

A Moon Salutation for Expansiveness & Receptivity

A Moon Salutation for Expansiveness & Receptivity

A few nights ago I was admiring the full moon – so bright and beautiful. At the time, I was texting with a friend who was also looking at it. He told me that out in the country where he lives, he could see the moon reflected in the river. My sister lives several hours […]
