Yoga, Meditation + Neuroscience

May 1, 2023 //  by Christy

The research is in! For ages people have been espousing the benefits of yoga and meditation–but without having any scientific proof that they actually work. Luckily, that has been changing in the past decade. I recently attended an online conference on Yoga + Neuroscience where a number of scientists presented their research on yoga and …

The 4 Most Important Things You Can Do To Help Mitigate Climate Change

September 1, 2022 //  by Christy

By now I think we can all agree that climate change is real. We see evidence of it throughout the world on a daily basis: extreme heat waves, wildfires, droughts, floods, unpredictable weather and more. It can be rather depressing to let the gravity of it all sink in, and I think many of us …

10 Signs Your Stress Is Out of Control–And What You Can Do About It

March 23, 2022 //  by Christy

I get slightly amused/slightly annoyed when people say to me, “Oh, you’re a yoga teacher? That must be sooo relaxing!” I laugh good-naturedly and remind that I’m actually the CEO (Chief Everything Officer) of my own small business. So yeah, I get stressed out, just like everyone on this planet. A little bit of stress …

In Remembrance: Hanging Out with Thich Nhat Hanh

January 22, 2022 //  by Christy

The beloved Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author and teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, who taught the West about peace, mindfulness and ‘interbeing,’ just recently passed away at 95 years old. While many of us who admired him were saddened to hear of his passing, for me I was reminded of his own comforting words about interbeing and …

A Reverence for All Living Things

January 10, 2022 //  by Christy

I recently read a book by Tara Brach, a well-known meditation teacher, where she shared a story about hearing cows lowing in a distant field while on a meditation retreat near a dairy farm. It reminded me of my own similar experience, so I thought I would share it during this month of ‘Veganuary.’ A …

October 25, 2021 //  by Christy

Some of you heard this story this past summer right after it occurred. I thought I would take a moment here to share it with everyone else. While on vacation in the Lelanau Peninsula at the end of this summer, I took advantage of a day of nice weather to roll out my yoga mat …

October 17, 2021 //  by Christy

As some of you may recall, last winter my husband (who trained and worked as a professional chef many years ago) and I decided to make a video of ourselves cooking a meal together.
