How Often Should You Meditate?
Recently a yoga student asked me if I meditated everyday and excitedly I exclaimed "yes!" Then, corrected myself. I think the more accurate practice I do daily, is mindfulness.

I read it in two-days, as my passion for yoga philosophy is strong, and it is rare to find easily-digested spiritual texts. If you are a beginner… Continue reading Higher Consciousness | Book Review

Closing that space shifted my whole business and when I returned to Port Hope just a few months later I had to begin again - teaching… Continue reading Yoga in Port Hope
The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring

Online Yoga… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring
