  • Teaching Hatha Yoga: The Summer Slow Down

  • Teaching Hatha Yoga: Should a Yoga Teacher be a Vegetarian?

  • Teaching Hatha Yoga: Assisting, Demonstrating, and Verbally Cueing
    There are many methods for teaching Yoga, but students either learn by seeing, feeling, hearing, or a combination of senses. With this in mind, there is no right or wrong method, but Yoga teachers should be aware that some students may have a dominant sense when it comes to learning.
  • Teach Your Child to Live for Maximum Potential

    For once, I am going to endorse procrastination. When it comes to worrying, you should put it off. Do everything you like to avoid worrying. Worries don't help us; and in fact, they make many bad situations worse. On top of that, most of what we worry about never comes to pass.
