These days, it seems that the entire world can be controlled from our handheld devices. BlackBerry, iPod, iPhone, MP3 players, flat screen TVs, computers, laptops…the list is endless. We can do nearly anything with technology, so being able to get a yoga class from your device can’t be too far behind. Of course, by […]
The Anti-Meditation
Choosing Health over Poison I used to be a smoker. In fact, I continued smoking for quite awhile after beginning a yoga and meditation practice. Madness, I know. Cigarette smoke contains too many deadly toxins to count; smoking is a very good—albeit slow—way of killing yourself. So why did I continue doing it for so […]
The Importance of a Time Out
We all know that taking time to ourselves is vital when it comes to rejuvenation of the spirit and body. Sadly, many of us don’t take our vacation time every year or we take time off only to spend that time clearing out our houses and crossing things off the “Honey Do List” that we […]
Are you into yoga for two?
Hello all! It’s good to be back to yogaflavoredlife.com! I took a month off in order to take a summer course for my masters degree in writing, so life has been manic and hectic, only to be soothed by the power of my pen and the occasional yoga class. It seems that in the soothing, […]
Get off that Hamster Wheel and Relax

In order to function at our optimal potential: we need the right foods, and a balance between rest, work and play. So why is it so difficult to achieve this goal? Sometimes I feel like a […]

I couldn’t help but wonder if these women were indeed looking for enlightenment through enhancing their yoga practice, or if they […]
Giving Life Back to Gaia
It’s always interesting to discover that you’re a member of a new target demographic you didn’t realize you’d joined. I refer to the term “Lohasian.” I first came across it in an online search about sustainable living, and later in Spirituality and Health magazine. It comes from the acronym l-o-h-a-s, standing for “lifestyles of health […]
Does your yoga world need some organization?
Google the word “yoga” and a million different sites will pop up for your perusal. In fact, it quickly becomes difficult to discern the credible from the crazy, and you could easily waste hours of your time trying to to research one small detail of your practice. As a former military logistics officer, whose job […]
Healing Holistically
It would be the understatement of the century for me to say that I am a bit of a doctor connoisseur. In the last eight years, you name it, I’ve seen it. And this is due either to my knee injury or as of late, my Grave’s disease. So in the last few years, I’ve […]
Sacred Spaces
Do you have a “sacred space” devoted to your times of meditation? Most practitioners do. Of course, any place can be deemed sacred by the meditation practitioner; it doesn’t have any specific physical requirements.
