Regardless of your love/hate relationship status with Cupid, you can start a lifelong love affair today -- right this second, in fact -- with the only person who has never left you and will always be there for you until the end. 

That person is you.

It seems like every time I turn on the TV or log onto my computer, the headlines are screaming about celebrity or politician BETRAYALS and CONFESSIONS.

In case you didn't know, those Down Dogs and Warrior Twos are supposed to be a living symbol, a trial run for being strong enough to open our hearts to the plight of real people around us.

Many people nowadays seem to have turned into unbelievable yoga snobs: they perceive any roll in the mud of our human nature as less than enlightened. And they get downright mean about it.

When it comes to their own, bliss-filled circles, many yogis feel right at home. Bring a foreign element to the door however, and you'll see that often, this sanctuary is then revealed as the dogma-house it really is.

Mind techniques can be effective for getting to sleep, but will be exponentially more so if you partner then with a physical practice. And I'm talking about really moving, too.

I'm not a dude. However, I teach enough of you to be an expert in GUYS, or the Guy's Unawareness of Yoga Syndrome, which culminates in a few different ways.

Mr. President, I'm sure your stress levels are unbelievable. Yet, if you want to help create change we can believe in, then you must stop bumming cigarettes. I know you've done it, and may do it again.

If you are at the door already before fear comes knocking, and if you assume the responsibility of feeling intensity in order to create positive change, then you're already one step ahead of the game.

This superficially focused yet deeply-ingrained striving for some unattainable, deprivation-based goal can easily overcome a good life, and swallow it whole. And those feelings can turn deadly for some of us, or at the very least, consistently ruin our days.

After 15 years of conversations with two types of people--those who crave personal growth, and those who don't, I have come to believe that for many people, there are some darn good reasons not to do yoga...

I dropped 20 pounds when I created my own yoga style specifically to turn the body into a fatburning machine.

The idea of a sleep-challenged yogina may sound like a contradiction in terms, but that's exactly what drew this NYC teacher to her chosen field.
