Are you in control?
A recent article about why we shouldn’t be drinking milk started me thinking about how often we accept things as fact without question. How many times have you seen an advertisement, either in print or on TV, and taken what was said as fact? They make it seem...Get Risky
Why do we practice yoga? Is it to get our foot behind our head while balancing on a finger? Or is it to find the inner quiet to be able to sleep through the night for the first time this month? One of the most central ideas we learn in yoga is to be observers in our...Just Notice…
Have you ever taken the chance to notice all that is around you? More than just using your eyes and visually taking in your surroundings, but to also hear and feel the universe around you? I recommend you try it, maybe even now, because it allows you to appreciate the...Crunch Time
What is it about deadlines that make you want to check Facebook 100 more times a day than you normally do? I am currently working on a deadline, preparing to travel to one of the largest international fitness conventions a few days from now, and I couldn’t be...Lizard Pose

While some things should not be enjoyed in any moderation…most of what we do on a daily basis is good. Sitting at your desk for 6 hours straight without a break? Not so good. But taking a break every 1 – 1.5 hrs to take a stretch and maybe walk to the...Super Simple Neck Stretches
If you spend anytime during the day looking at stuff in front of you, chances are you may have experience some neck discomfort at one time in your life. When we allow our chin to creep over our chest, we put extra stress on all of the muscles of the neck. Give your...Hi, I’m Alex!
