I’ve been getting lots of reports from friends and clients (oh yeah, and some personal feedback too) that indicate that many of us are feeling less than fully grounded in the now right now. This time of year, air and space (together forming the Vata dosha in Ayurveda) are especially prevalent in nature. This means [...]

Fall into Yoga with Ayurveda
Aug 30
It might be a little silly, but I am totally enamored with the idea that the title of this post (and my upcoming workshop at Laughing Lotus of Anchorage) conveys. As we create the ‘right conditions’, i.e. balance in our physical body through living well, yoga or ‘union’ is something that we just fall into. [...]
The fish are jumping and the fireweed is high! We might have a short summer here in Alaska, but we’ve had some weather nice enough lately to get me going with some of my favorite cooling summer recipes.

Balance during breakup
Apr 5
As the old song says, breaking up is hard to do. Living in Alaska we know that the season we’re in is no different. To make it through breakup with ease, use the wisdom of Ayurveda to gracefully move through the season. Throughout the winter, we are likely to accumulate excess Kapha due to the [...]
The fall of 2010 brought an abundance of beginning yoga classes, introducing a whole new contingent of practicing yogis and yoginis. I was so so happy to have both Maddie and Roxanne on board and working so well together. This is a recipe for creating lifelong yoga practitioners that I hope to re-create in the [...]

This class was a pleasure to teach. With a wonderful turnout of students as well as yoga teachers interested in deepening their practice and living happier and healthier lives, teaching this class left me with the (predictable) feeling of wondering why I had waited so long! I am looking forward to getting some posts up [...]
Maddie and Roxanne gracefully co-taught their first intro to yoga workshop this last weekend, to a great group. Some were brushing up on the basics, but several brand new to yoga used this as an opportunity to dive right in. If you missed this class, fret not, you can start with a Beginning Yoga class [...]

At Home at Anahata
Oct 3
From our original Home Page: At Anahata we strive to provide down to earth ways of connecting to spirit through nature. Yoga and Ayurveda foster this connection. Ayurveda, the ‘wisdom of life’ is the perfectly practical science of living well, in harmony with the rhythms of nature. This basic life-affirming knowledge is contained in the [...]
