Find Your Asana

Asana is understood to mean pose. The Sanskrit translation is "comfortable posture". No need to rush. Slow approach deepens impact of pose.



Balance is a dynamic process. Twists provide movement for organs and spine. Muscles and bones strengthen as a team.

No asana remains the same. The body is reconstructing every moment at the cellular and energetic level.


Practice patience, respecting, and loving yourself.

Your body is custom made; move accordingly.

Seek within; it is a spiritual stretch.

Your only limited by personal and universal beliefs.

Yoga flexifies the borderlines in the mind via the body.


Inhale to season the body.
Exhale to stir your personal elements.

Unlearn assumptions; reach, hold, and move to your own compass.



An open heart is a strong heart.

Crevices created can be filled with a gold only attained with the ultimate energy of Love.


Get in tune with the texture of energies.

Find your comfortable place. Breathe. Balance effort and effortlessness. You and your asana find new terrain together.

Inversions shift your body's surrender to gravity. Body's composition is an intricate bridgework of connections.


"The difference between medicine and poison is dosage."
Apply this principle to your practice of yoga and living.

You are on the cusp of the unseen.

Stay still long enough to observe what you see, feel, know, and sense now.

Find how your asana guides you to find your Self...you might be surprised how much you uncover...

Yoga and the Adrenal Glands

Let's use our yoga practice to learn a little more about anatomy. I must confess, I was never that interested in science when I was younger. As I have gotten a little older, experienced a few personal medical challenges, noticed subtle changes each year and the desire to learn has been ignited. Practicing yoga since I was 41 has made a significant impact on my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Six years later, I am in the best shape I have ever been...ever. So, with that said, let's see what is going on with this ancient practice of yoga. Last article gave a synopsis of the seven chief glands. To keep it simple, (good philosophy, by the way) the first gland to be addressed is the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is right above each kidney. Their primary function is to release hormones in response to stress. These stress hormones are cortisol, epinephrine and aldosterone. Cortisol and epinephrine get the heart to beat faster, gets the digesti

Inversions, Hormones and Yoga

Inversions are an integral component of not only a good yoga practice, but good health. As kids, we used to hang upside down from the jungle gym like monkeys, do somersaults, or swing as high as possible gripping the swing's chain and leaning back to get the feel of flying. Little did we know it, but our bodies were getting some great internal benefits. Besides being fun and giving a sense of daring to play to edges, we were giving our endocrine system a chance to share its magic. Use your yoga practice to re-ignite the smiles you had just being a kid. And, for goodness sakes, do not let the ingrained thought "I'm too old to do this..." deter you from doing what can make you happy at any age. First of all, there are medical contraindications for inversions. It depends on the style of inversion and the physical ailment. (When in doubt, leave it out...until you discuss it with your doctor.)  The body's glands, or endocrine system, produce approximately 50 hormone
