Form 6 Video Release!
It’s been a long time coming.. almost a year after superstar AcroYogis Andrew and Addy successfully demoed Form 5 [they are the first do do so!] for our AcroYoga : 10 Forms class, we have finally filmed and released our Form 6 video. We filmed the video in the Nevada desert during Burning Man, after 6 days in the dust and hours of practice, and we had so much fun. Continue reading
Sunset, AcroYoga, and Love in the desert. 💕
I never thought I would go to Burning Man .. being as sensitive as I am I had so many fears about the harsh climate .. the heat, dust, and wind. I had fears about over-stimulation with all of the lights, the people, and the constant sounds. I was afraid of everything about it.

For someone suffering from PTSD the “fight-or-flight” response is changed or damaged which means that the body reacts as if it is in a dangerous situation when it is not. This can show up in a number of ways including nightmares, re-living traumatic events over and over [flashbacks], trouble sleeping, outbursts of anger or anxiety, and turning to substances, such as alcohol, as a way to numb oneself.
Yoga Nidra : Dropping into Your Own Healing Potential
If you’ve ever taken a Yoga class, you are probably familiar with Savasana. This is usually the final pose of the practice and, though it may not seem like it, also the most important. But why?
Savasana is important because you are giving your body the opportunity to completely relax and to integrate the practice, the physical postures, that you have just done. For many of us this alone is enough reason to practice Yoga. More than gaining flexibility and strength, most of us just need to relax for a few minutes each day.
And yet, for many Savasana is not enjoyable or relaxing at all. Why? Because as soon as we allow our body to
