Healthy happy you.
The first thing you notice about Seane Corn is her hair, a mane of wavy blond locks that frames her youthful and open face. And as she leads you through a vigorous vinyasa yoga class, her whole being is quite open. She lays it on the line: yoga is hard physical work that can take you places emotionally and spiritually if you stay present on the mat. Seane knows your thighs are burning in Warrior Read more
One benefit of being a blogging yogi in the SF Bay Area is that the annual Yoga Journal Conference is in my backyard. The folks at Yoga Journal were kind enough to invite me for a day of classes last weekend, which seriously worked my body and challenged my mind. Held in a fancy downtown hotel, hundreds of ladies and a few handfuls of men chanted, meditated, and practiced serious asana for the Read more
When it comes to yoga mats, Manduka is hands down my absolute favorite brand, and I never practice without my Black Mat PRO. It's durable, thick, and firm, and still looks exactly the same as the day I bought it.

This is the poetic intro at the Read more
Summer music festival season is in full swing, and we can't wait to get in on all the action. While all these adventures are certainly a fun way to head to a big party, sometimes the whole thing can become a little too much. After all, if you're taking your vacation time to head to one of these events, don't you want to come back at least a little revived and rejuvenated? The Wanderlust Read more
Yoga may be blissful, but it isn't cheap! Depending on where you live, classes can run you an average of $15 to $20 a pop. Dropping $50 or more for yoga classes each week isn't an option for everyone, but we can all benefit from a regular practice. The internet is bursting with free full-length classes or shortened yoga routines. If you're willing to pay a little, you'll be able to view a greater Read more
