I’m curious… how are you guys feeling about Instagram these days? When I started my account, I loved the simple, visually-focused, gallery format. I loved the ability to capture a moment in a photo, and pair it with my musings for the day. Most of all, I loved seeing everyone else’s photos, their thoughts, and […]
There may be no better cure for whatever ails you than this pose: Viparita Karani, or Legs Up the Wall. This gentle inversion is amazing for reducing anxiety, low back pain, PMS symptoms, headache, or aching feet. Yogic scriptures also say it will reduce wrinkles, make you look younger, and calm the mind. Sign me […]
Ahhhh, we’ve made it! Day 29 of #MermaidYogis is the beautifully restorative reclined bound angle, or supta baddha konasana in sanskrit. This passive hip opener is an awesome way to relax and rest. If you have tight hips, grab two blocks or pillows to place under your knees for support. If you’d like to add […]
For the last active inversion of the #MermaidYogis challenge, we invite you to take any stag leg variation of your inversion of choice! You can explore this fun leg variation in headstand, forearm stand, or handstand. Stag legs refers to bending the knees while upside down. It’s fun to make pretty shapes, and can be […]

Don’t be intimidated by this inversion! We’ve got lots of options if getting all the way upside down isn’t in your practice yet. Day 25 of #MermaidYogis is forearm stand, but feel free to modify with headstand, headstand prep, dolphin pose or child’s pose depending on your body’s needs today. Forearm Stand If this […]
We are headed into the last week of the #MermaidYogis challenge, and it’s time to start getting upside down! One of the most important preparations for inversions is stretching the hamstrings, which can be done quite nicely with a wide leg forward fold, called Upavistha Konasana in Sanskrit. Wide Leg Seated Forward Fold Sit down […]
Hello, heart opener! Wheel pose is one of my very favorite postures, but it can be quite challenging for those with tight shoulders and less flexibility in the back. If this feels more intense than good, feel free to modify with bridge pose. Wheel Pose: Begin laying on your back, knees bent, heels close […]
