On Sunday I’ll be running the More/Fitness Half Marathon – my fifth half marathon (if you count the Nike one I jumped into unregistered on a date back in 2007-ish). I was a crazy kid back then and could run 13.1 at the drop of a hat. These days, I actually have to train and put in some half maraton… Read More
My early years as a yogi were spent practicing yoga for fitness’ sake, what Jules Febre calls fitness asana. I liked that calm, relaxed feeling I had after, but let’s face it, I was going for the toned arms and tight abs. Not so much anymore. Over the past several years, my practice has evolved. For me, now, yoga is… Read More
Ever since my early days at Jivamukti, I’ve loved taking class with Jules Febre. So when I had the opportunity to take class with him at the Yoga Journal Conference last weekend, I signed up for his Hip Hop Asana class. I incorrectly assumed that this would be a vinyasa class choreographed to hip hop music. In a way it… Read More
I’m obsessed with coconut oil. I use it for everything from cooking & baking to moisturizing my skin. The health benefits are through the roof and there are literally hundreds of uses for it. Grab a jar — or two — and keep it on hand for all your household needs. Watch the video to see some of my… Read More
Two days, 12 hours and 6 classes. I spent the weekend at the Yoga Journal Conference and I couldn’t have done it without Lolë Women, one of my favorite activewear brands for women.

Last weekend, David and I spent some time in Vermont to squeeze in some final days of skiing before the season ends. I love Spring skiing because it means my hands don’t get cold. Our delayed flight got us home well past midnight and… Read More
I’m taking a quick break from the regularly scheduled Tuesday Tips to share the details of my new 21 Day Spring Renewal Program. Watch the video below for some quick highlights before the full details are released later this week. To be the first to get the full details and registration links and the only to receive special enrollment offers,… Read More
In my many years coaching with Gabrielle Bernstein, I learned that “fear speaks first and loudest.” I know this. But that doesn’t mean that when I want to do something or have an idea that I don’t try to talk myself out of it or dream up a laundry list of reasons why it won’t work. I’ve learned to catch… Read More
I’m always a skeptic when it comes to “bars,” as in the energy/nutritional supplement/meal replacement variety. One look at the label and I’m transported into ingredient mayhem. Fake ingredients parade as healthy ones, added sugars galore and the list goes on. So, when Core Foods sent me a sample variety pack of their Core Defender Meals, a raw, vegan, high… Read More
