Each month for my Patreon community I release two exclusive yoga classes. The hour long class for September focuses on ardha chandra chapasana, sugar cane pose. It's a challenging pose that requires a back bend and balance. One of my favorite ways to warm up for Chapasana is the modified kneeling varation. This leads me to this 12-minute SugarCane Yoga Pose Sequence now available to practice on my YouTube channel. If you can’t view the embedded video above, you can view …

Moon Salutation Sequence for Beginners – Chandra Namaskar Variation
This month for my Patreon community I created a 40-minute Moon Salutation yoga video. Many people are used to sun salutations but haven't heard of other types, moon, and earth. As such, I decided to do a short 12-minute Moon Salutation Sequence. Hopefully, more people fall in love with the other salutations and salute the other elements, not just the sun! If you can’t view the embedded video above, you can view the video on YouTube. Maybe add it to a playlist? Above all, …

Somatic Twist Yoga Sequence 20-Min Class for beginners
One of my favorite things to teach in yoga is twists. For many twists have been taught with a rigid and restrictive mindset rather than the fluid and integrated movement our bodies are made to do. While both have merit in this 20-minute Somatic Twist Yoga Sequence we explore the latter. Allowing ourselves to fully explore the twist as a whole body experience. If you can’t view the embedded video above, you can view the video on YouTube. Maybe add it to a playlist? Above …

Live in the Present Quote Coloring Page Printable
As we hurtle through the year and find ourselves in September I have to acknowledge that in just a few months I have a major milestone birthday. Over the years birthdays come and go but every 10 years we hit milestones. During this time it's easy to get caught up in thinking about bucket lists, looking to the future at life "running out". Admittedly, that was me at the beginning of the year. Then I found myself looking at the past, everything I had experienced so far in my time on the planet. …

How to get relief for Plantar Fasciitis
Recently a member of my Patreon Community, asked me "how to get relief for plantar fasciitis". This is familiar territory for me.

I tried a LOT of things to help and I'm going to share my tips & tricks that helped me relieve my pain. These included massage, tennis ball, stretches, ice, yoga poses, exercises, and more …
PKD keto diet – 18 month update and Q&A
Last year I created a couple of posts about my experience with intermittent fasting, polysystic kidney disease and my plan to try the vegan keto diet. Since then I've gotten a TON of questions on those posts and videos. While I tried to reply to as many comments as possible, it was clear that there was a lot of information dotted around video and blog comments. So I decided it was time to collate everything in one area. So this is my PKD keto diet update. Did it help my increase my GFR? Reduce …
Bird Coloring Page Printable for Adults – Freebie
Last month, a pair of finches decided our porch light was the perfect place to set up home for a while. When Bob left for his work trip there were four eggs. 16 days later when he came back, the nest was empty. They'd hatched, fledged, and left. The last 14 days of seeing these chicks hatch, and growing from blind alien-like beings to curious (and ravenous) chicks have been a valuable lesson about our current life situation. And also the inspiration for this month's Bird Coloring Page …
