Manele Bay, Lanai, Hawaii. Sometimes our anxious mind is silenced by the beauty we encounter; for beauty reflects and reminds us always who we truely are. Maui yogi friends please join me for class Tuesday 8:30-10am at Wisdom Flow. I am looking forward to offering a nourishing and spacious practice, with some extra time to rest in stillness. Hope to see you there!...
Aloha Friends, There is something I would like you to remember: disturbances awaken us to our total capacity, to the strength within us. They turn us to the path of possibility, as the shell of the familiar breaks. If lately you have felt as emotionally disturbed as most of the people I have interacted with, I hope you are finding peace. As we move through this winter,...
When we practice yoga asana, focused on the breath and on ourselves, our body is benefitting. But more subtly, our mind is benefitting the most: we develop the ability to let go of our thoughts and become aware of the present moment, where happiness is.

I am thankful to all our Yoga students at Temple of Peace Maui. Each one of them. You all teach me something at every single class. And help me grow. After class the other day one student made the best comment a yoga teacher needs to hear: "You make me think of my breath". (please pause here, and read again that simple, but strong comment. Take a deep breath, and feel it...)....
I have a confession: When my life did a 180 and we moved so I could teach yoga on Maui, I felt like a complete fraud. What kind of nerve did I have teaching asana and pranayama if I had disregarded some of the most basic philosophical concepts of Patanjali’s astanga yoga? The relationship with my partner and best friend of twenty-two years was damaged probably beyond repair by my harmful actions,...
About a year ago my partner and I floated up onto Maui’s shores as gently and easily as if this transition in our life together had been planned lifetimes before. Logistics were smoothly prepared, and within a month of my job offer we were calling this...
Reflections on power outages and their hidden benefits. Being without power this past weekend for 36 hours and then still no Internet for another day really reminded me of living on another island. Bainbridge regularly had windstorms that would leave us living in the fireplace...
Reflecting recently about my first 4 months as a “real” yoga teacher, I discovered that I have some valuable advice to pass on to other new teachers. These top 4 tips might seem pretty basic, but as we all know: simple is usually best.
1. Keep up your sadhana – Hopefully you established a regularly scheduled daily practice either before or during your teacher training program. Don’t let this beneficial habit slip by the wayside. It’s of utmost importance that we “walk the talk”...
