Yoga Teacher Training at Carrboro Yoga
I’m in love with this photo from the penultimate weekend of our 2012–13 yoga teacher training at Carrboro Yoga. (Thanks to Elizabeth Matteson of Inner Voice Wellness for taking it!) In this exercise, we map some of the bony landmarks in the body using dry-erase markers, so don’t worry, this isn’t permanent. My co-teacher, Lies,

If you’re more of a winter-in–New England type, I’m teaching a similar program at Kripalu starting January 27; details here. Each program is equivalent to the content portion

Teaching Yoga to Athletes: Online vs. In Person
In January, I’ll repeat my intensive on teaching yoga to athletes at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in the Berkshires. We had a wonderful time last year and I’m already looking forward to this iteration of the intensive. I had a great question about the difference between the course there and my online

Sage Advice: Choosing a Yoga Teacher Training
Aspiring teachers sometimes write me to ask for advice on choosing a teacher training. While I can’t make individual recommendations without knowing the teacher-to-be and the offerings in his or her area, there are some general themes to my answer. Be clear on your intention. As with any undertaking, clarity about what you’re doing is

Kripalu Post-View, September
Yes, I was in Seattle,however briefly! I am happy to be done with my whirlwind travel week, which began with a trip to Seattle on Wednesday–and a trip back on Thursday! In between, I loved meeting the affable, laid-back, but sharp leadership of REI and of prAna, and teaching them yoga. What a nice crew,

But I’m Not a Teacher
I was delighted to have a few students at my intensive in San Francisco on teaching yoga to athletes who were not themselves yoga teachers. They bravely, and correctly, presumed that there’d be content germane to their personal training work and their own practices. And I just had an e-mail from a non-teacher student who’s

Does . . . Not . . . Compute
Have you ever had moments of great confusion followed by moments of clarity? They might have happened in a lecture or a workshop, when your preexisting beliefs were shattered and the reorganization of the pieces led to a more full picture of how things work. I talk about this vis-à-vis yoga teaching (with application for

Thank You, Wellness Center
It’s Wednesday evening and getting dark, and I’m feeling nostalgic for the class I’ve just retired from: a Yoga for Athletes class at the UNC Wellness Center. I taught the class for the last six years (and also taught indoor cycling there for four). In conjunction with my standing Monday night class at Carrboro Yoga,
