Too Many Tabs Open? Try One Thing at a Time

Have you ever looked at your computer and realized you have more tabs open than you thought?

That happened to me recently while I was setting up for an online yoga class. I usually have my Zoom screen open, but for some reason I hit a button and suddenly every tab that was open on my computer showed up on the screen.

And I was mortified.

There they were: all the tabs, all the reminders, all the things I had been moving between. But it also made me laugh, because it was such a clear picture of what my mind can feel like sometimes.

Busy. Full. Jumping from one thing to the next.

Just like a computer with too many tabs open.

What does Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti mean?

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti is something we chant together at the end of every one of my classes. But what does Om Shanti mean? In this short video I created for my Mindful Monday series I offer my explanation for this chant.

Chair Yoga When You Are Injured: A Gentle Way to Keep Caring for Yourself

When you are dealing with pain, injury, surgery, or a difficult season in your body, it is easy to think, "I can't do yoga right now."

Maybe you do not feel strong. Maybe your confidence has been shaken. Maybe your body is asking for more support than it used to.

But gentle yoga and chair yoga are not only for the days when you feel strong, flexible, or ready to do more. The beauty of this practice is that it can meet you in the season you are actually living.

Today, I want to share Kelly's story.
Kelly is a longtime student of mine, and she shared how much chair yoga meant to her during a time when she was dealing with back pain, hip pain, and then a hip replacement. In her words, when she could not do anything else, chair yoga was the only thing she could do.

That is powerful.

Shoulder Pain and Yoga: How to Keep Moving with Care

Shoulder Pain and Yoga: How to Keep Moving with Care

If you have been dealing with shoulder pain or a rotator cuff injury, it can be tempting to think, "I can't do yoga right now."

Maybe lifting your arm overhead does not feel possible. Maybe certain movements feel limited. Maybe you are afraid that if one part of your body is hurting, movement is simply off the table.

But with your doctor's permission, gentle yoga and mindful movement can still be supportive. The goal is not to force your shoulder to do something it is not ready for. The goal is to move with awareness, modify when needed, and stay connected to your body.
