Houston has been an inspiring place for me as I have gotten to know the yoga community better. I first met my #ARTYOGAPLAY student Angela Venegas when I was teaching yoga at Big Power Yoga Memorial. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to call her not only my student, but more importantly … Continue reading
Living in Houston, I didn’t realize how spoiled I was when it came to fitness class options. Since I’m an introverted EXTROVERT, I do enjoy going to group fitness classes on occasion as a way to get inspired from other teachers and learn something new.

(To combat the windy roads, I’d drink a glass of wine and pop a melatonin before hopping on the … Continue reading
One of the first challenges I took on when I moved to Guatemala was making a commitment to learning Spanish. In Houston, I made a few small attempts working with a couple of tutors, teaching yoga to Spanish speaking yoga students, and brushing up on Pimsleur and Coffee Break Spanish before I went on vacations … Continue reading
Let’s have some real talk here, friend. You honestly only have this one present moment. You are not a physicist. You do not have a DeLorean. You do not have access to time travel. You do not have time to punish yourself and live your life in regret. There is fantasy and there is your … Continue reading
I am leading a summer Book Club for the Badass on Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way.” It is funny how the right book at the right time with the right people magically fall into your lap. Below is an excerpt of the newsletter I will be sharing with my badasses for our 8th week. If you … Continue reading
