It is a simple and gentle posture but one that I really enjoy. Include Thread the Needle as part of a warmup series for a longer practice. It’s also nice […]

December 2, 2014 by charlotte bradley

If you have been doing yoga for even a little bit, you have no doubt practiced Sun Salutations. Moon salutations are their lesser known sister sequences. A moon salutation is about Yin, feminine or cooling energy. It is a more quieting, meditative sequence. Feel free to practice moon salutations anytime of the day but they are really nice […]

Yin Yoga for Vitality and Wellness

I am surrounded by sick people! Friends at work are coughing. My boys both stayed home from school last week with sore throats (twins – yep they often get sick together). Even the guy selling me a car was sniffling as he looked up looked up things … It is just that time of year. […]

My posture isn’t horrible but I do sit in weird positions. As I type this, I have one foot tucked under me, […]
