One of the yoga questions I get asked most often is, "What are some yoga poses I can do for back pain?" It's also probably the most common unsolicited advice that I give :) My co-worker injured their back and I found myself rattling off yoga poses that should help...while my other co-workers were like, "Here she goes again with that yoga stuff." But I promise I only share it because it really helps! Since injuring my back in high school, I've gone through many pain flare ups and have found ... View the Post
Yoga: The Instant Mood Boost
Yesterday my mood was pretty negative. I let work emails stress me out and I started worrying over things I had to do and deadlines. I felt cranky and was short with my parents when they called (sorry, mom and dad). Maybe it was the stir craziness from being trapped inside all day (spring, where are you?) but I let the frustration takeover. I knew that I needed to move my body because I sat in my bed all day, working on my laptop, aside from getting up to go to the fridge haha. I did a HIIT ... View the Post
Dear, Yoga: A Thank You Letter
Dear yoga, Thank you for teaching me how to breathe. It wasn’t until I was holding those long, difficult poses that I really learned the power of my breath. I had never thought of it before.

Owning Your Energy
As an introvert, I find myself observing quite often -- the way people interact, body language and the things around me. Sometimes my family will say, "Morg, you're being so serious." But it's the quiet, anxious, Scorpio in me that is constantly taking it all in and processing (read: over-analyzing). Since I find myself in the role of the observer quite often, I've noticed that I really pick up on the energy of those around me. If someone is putting up a good front, I can tell when something is ... View the Post
How Yoga Teaches Self Love
I write this as I am full from some delicious pizza and chocolate chip cookies -- talk about enjoying the love this Valentine's Day. Tyler is out of town for his new job orientation (yay!) but that means I spent this V Day alone. We made time to FaceTime and catch up but other than that it was a pretty low key day that involved good eats and sappy TV shows. Even though I didn't get to see my #bae ;) I still felt super loved today -- from my man, my family (my mom texted us the song "You Are My ... View the Post
