Happy New Year?
Like me, do you also hesitate with that wish?

Wishing happiness for a whole year can feel like asking
more of life than it can give,
and more of us than we should have to carry.

After all, life was never meant
to feel good, safe, or settled all the time.

And in this reflection, yet again, I realize - 

Yoga is not just asana.

Who knew a mediocre chocolate cake could deliver a life lesson? This piece looks at how sometimes we chase comfort in the wrong places, and how yoga helps us see reality as it is.

Goddess Pose is more than a posture.

It carries the fierce energy of Kali, the goddess who rose in a time of chaos to destroy demons and restore balance. Wild, unstoppable, strung with skulls, she was raw power itself—until she stepped on Shiva, the grounding force of consciousness. In that moment, her fury softened, and her energy became focused and conscious strength.

When you step into Goddess Pose, you embody that same union: fierce and grounded, powerful and present, unapologetically alive.

Take your stance. Claim your space. Become the goddess.

In a world overflowing with information, it’s easy to chase answers and avoid looking inward. Yoga philosophy teaches us to pause, turn within, and trust the quiet wisdom of our body, breath, and presence. Some answers don’t come from outside - they unfold from within.

Ever wondered why your pose looks nothing like your neighbor’s - even when you’re both “doing the same thing”? It’s not just about practice or flexibility. Our bones, joints, and even the presence (or absence!) of certain bones and muscles mean our yoga will always be uniquely ours.
