On Sunday afternoon, I was watching Netflix, feeling happy and relaxed. Then suddenly I had an urge that I should be doing something. I immediately felt like I hadn't done enough to just sit there and relax, like I hadn't earned it. I instantly felt bad about myself. I thought there is something I should've been doing or something I should've accomplished or checked off my to-do list. I imagined everyone I know being way more productive and "hustling" while here I am sitting on my bum just ... View the Post
How Yoga Has Helped My Anxiety
Anxiety is personal for everyone. We've all suffered from anxiety to a varying degree at one point in our lives. You may know if you read this post about how I began my yoga journey, anxiety was stifling at one point in my life.

Well, boredom in the 5-hour long car ride home from North Carolina got to me and I went ahead and screenshotted it. The word I got was "motivated." I know what you're thinking -- what a load of hullabaloo from some random person with a Facebook account. And if you ... View the Post
Setting Your New Year Intentions
Leading up to the New Year were inundated with messages of weight loss, detox and workout regimens. It' a time of reflection, self-assessment and goal setting. While there is some goodness in those things, it's easy to get caught up in the commercialized message of the New Year instead of focusing on what you really want to cultivate in the upcoming year. Losing 20 pounds, working out for 60 minutes every day or cutting out sugar may sound well-intentioned, but are they even realistic? We must ... View the Post
