Very often we view it as a final end – a death . . . → Read More: Closing the Wound
June 2nd, 2011 My teaching philosophy has always been to decide what you want to learn and do it for a few seconds everyday.

I found a wonderful set of “training wheels” to use when trying to learn new concepts – . . . → Read More: Training Wheels
June 1st, 2011 I have looked at forgiveness from all angles in the past month. Now I ask, how does one go about doing it? Why can’t I forgive the wrongs done to me? Why can’t I, more than forgive, begin to trust again?

May 23rd, 2011 When the tide of our life goes creeping out far away from the shoreline, that which we knew and held onto so tightly, slowly slips away. Then we sit. Wondering when the tide will turn and make its way back to the shore. When will it advance and cover over and smooth out all the . . . → Read More: Ebb Tide
May 22nd, 2011 In Bikram yoga we are constantly told to "trust in the process". We go through the poses each day and while we may not feel the medical benefits while we're in them, after consistent practice, many things in our bodies will grow, change, and heal almost magically.
