For the second year in a row I was graced with the opportunity to attend Krishna Das’ Memorial Day weekend retreat at Yogaville. And for the second year in a row, my heart was completely blown open. Realizations and waves of happiness washed over me again and again. Certain topics kept coming up and I’d […]
There was a period of time in my life that I rejected money. I felt bitter about graduating college with a massive student loan (all of which would have been easily avoided if I had listened to my parents) during the time of a deep recession. My school did little, I thought, to help it’s […]
This post has taken a few weeks to write. Words have been percolating in my mind but nothing came to fruition until a few nights ago when everything clicked and I knew how I wanted to share this part of my life with you. For the past month, the book A Return to Love by […]
I was pretty disappointed when I received my LSAT score back. After months of intense studying, I was expecting something much higher than what the piece of paper in front of me was conveying. At that point in my life, three years ago, I was certain that law school was the path for me. Everyone […]

I am not new to the concept of chewing your food thoroughly before swallowing […]
A few weeks back I wrote about shoulder stand and how I do not think it receives the respect it deserves. Today, I want to highlight another pose – chaturanga. From YJ magazine Chaturanga dandasana, or four-limbed staff pose, is often considered (especially by newbie yogis) as a transition pose from plank to upward facing […]
I’ve been stuck. Stagnant. Disconnected. And it was all unbeknownst to me; I thought I was fine! Going through the ebbs and flows of life, I would occasionally feel doubt (as my good friends can attest) but for the most part I thought I was doing great considering I quit and left my 18 month […]
