I say the same exact thing every time I end my yoga class. Repetitive? Maybe. But it's truly something I hope each student walks away with at the end of my class. No matter how I feel that day, what my intention for class is, or who the people in the studio are, I mean it every single time I say it. May you feel strong in your body, may you feel at peace in your mind and may you feel love in your heart. May you feel strong in your body. No matter what level a student is at, I want them to ...

Comparison in Yoga
Yoga is not a competitive sport. You may be thinking, "no duh, Morgan." But that doesn't mean ego doesn't make it's way into the yoga studio.

While scrolling through Instagram, you probably see lots of flexible yogis posting really advanced postures, but I am going to let you in on a little secret...we hardly ever do those advanced postures in a yoga class. Like ever. If you have a body, you can do yoga. No double jointed limbs necessary. A quick scroll through the social media pictures of yogis may seem ... View the Post
The 40 Percent Rule
About two weeks ago, I was folding my laundry while my boyfriend Tyler was completely engrossed in a YouTube video. He paused it and said, "Come here, you have to watch this."
