Yoga Retreat: How I Broke Rules Learning “Portable Yoga”

Reflections…the worst yogi in the world goes on another yoga retreat… I went on another yoga retreat. This one was special. My friend Claudia Altucher gave it, calling it “Portable Yoga.” Claudia promised to give a thousand yoga tools to take away. I’m loyal. I would’ve gone even if she called it “You’ll Never Attain Enlightenment,” or “Yogis Study for 1000 Years, What Makes You Think You…

Moms Can Detail Cars, Too!

I may be a girl, but I know my cars. And it’s time to detail this one. I’m going to a yoga retreat today. I have to go on retreat because it’s the only time I can avoid being jumped on while I practice yoga. It’s bad karma to go on a yoga retreat with a car filled with…

It’s time for some yoga.  I’m stressed. I’m new to yoga, but I’ve learned enough for a routine.  I want to do better in my yoga practice. My friend is puts daily “yoga tips” on her LinkedIn and Facebook Pages. I appreciate the gentle reminder, but for me she ought to say, “Are you going to do your…

Good Yogi, Bad Yogi

I’m tying myself in knots again. It’s fun. After my yoga retreat, I tried to practice yoga daily, then lost focus–I forgot the moves.  So, I started watching yoga videos. I started with Claudia’s video. Claudia gives such good instructions for beginners, and if anyone asks who my yoga instructor is, I will say “Claudia Altucher” because I really only took…
