Yoga

As a longtime practitioner of yoga, and now a certified yoga instructor, I've been both horrified and dazzled to watch it go so mainstream. Upside: Its healing powers reaching millions. Downside: Rhinestone-studded yoga pants. Ok, actually sometimes those are cool too. Maybe there is no downside.

Health

As a cancer survivor (seven years, baby!) and long-time yogi, one of my deepest passions is holistic wellness--what it means to truly heal on every level of our being.

Personal Essays

"Everything I see or hear is an es­say in bud. The world is every­where whis­per­ing es­says, and one need only be the world's amanu­en­sis." Alexander Smith, "Of the writing of essays." I don't know what amanuwhatsis means (ok, I just googled; typist), but I do know I transform myself when I write essays and have been born again and again by reading really good ones by others. Here are some of my takes at the form.
