Buy Nothing for Year Challenge …. did I make it?

posted in: Mindful Living, Yoga | 3


One year ago, I took on a Buy Nothing For a Year challenge inspired by Buy Nothing Day which was founded in Vancouver by artist Ted Dave in September of 1992. It was then promoted by Ad Busters magazine. For the first four years, it was observed.

Eventually, Buy Nothing Day made it’s way to being recognized on the Friday after American Thanksgiving (the day is infamously known as Black Friday). Read More “Buy Nothing for Year Challenge …. did I make it?”

Music for Yin Yoga

posted in: Yin Yoga | 1

I often get requests for recommendations for Yin Yoga Music both from my students and teachers.

I don’t always use music in my home practice but, I tend to when I teach.

Most of the locations I teach at are quite urban there may be a fair bit of external noise that can be distracting, so I find adding a little music can create an ambiance and a container for practice. Read More “Music for Yin Yoga”

If you are a teacher or studio owner who has never taken any specialized training in either Yin or Restorative Yoga, I can see how the two could be confused as interchangeable.

Back Pain Yoga – Baby Cobra Pose

posted in: Back Pain, Yoga | 0

As a Yoga Therapist, I work a lot with folks who suffer from Back Pain. Because of our more sedentary lifestyle, and with all the desk work we do, our back muscles can become weakened, and this can lead to injury.

There are a couple of simple prone backbends we can add to our regular routine that can make a big difference to the strength of our back muscles, improve our posture, and hopefully prevent back injuries. Read More “Back Pain Yoga – Baby Cobra Pose”

Buy Nothing Day … Or Buy Nothing Year

posted in: Mindful Living | 11

A few years ago embarked on a big challenge….I  committed to buying ‘noThing’ for a year.

I know. To most people, this sounds crazy, or at least most of the people I mentioned my plan to. They’ve said, “What about food, skincare, makeup?”

Don’t worry, I’ll address all of those obvious questions below. Read More “Buy Nothing Day … Or Buy Nothing Year”

Sciatica? Get Relief!

posted in: Back Pain, Yoga | 0

Sciatica is a bit tricky and can be persistent. In all my years of teaching Back Pain Yoga, I have found more than anything else that Sciatica is often used as a blanket term, which students cover a range of symptoms they may have. So, if you think you may have Sciatica, please see a health professional to get a proper diagnosis. Read More “Sciatica? Get Relief!”
