Watch: Yoga for Athletes Teachers’ Lounge: Standing Poses
Every summer, I offer Teaching Yoga to Athletes at my home studio, the Carrboro Yoga Company. (Registration is already up for the 2017 edition, which runs July 17–21.) I record our practices, so that both the students in them and anyone interested can watch it later. Stream them or download them at YogaVibes, where you’ll also find…
The Workshop Workshop: Now Only $49
Last spring, I loved teaching the Workshop Workshop so much that I recorded an online course version for Sage Yoga Teacher Training. I’m so enthusiastic about this content that I’ve dropped the price to only $49. This means it will pay for itself the very first time you teach a workshop based on the principles you’ll…

Join me in Carrboro (central North Carolina) June 27–July 1, as we explore the philosophy, physiology, psychology, and pedagogy of yoga for athletes. This is my signature offering, helping movement teachers, coaches, personal trainers, physical therapists, and eager students learn how to bring better balance to an athletic body through yoga. My favorite part of…
Postview: Yoga Journal LIVE! NYC
It was a treat to connect with the sweet students at Yoga Journal LIVE! in New York last weekend. I taught three sessions and, as promised, am writing up a postview with practice notes. (This is my preferred method, as it lets me teach to the students who are there, versus rigidly following a handout.) When…
Newly Certified: Jeanine Encizo
Meet Jeanine Encizo, the most recent certified Sage Yoga for Athletes teacher! Jeanine came to yoga as a longtime runner, competitive in both cross-country and track. Like many of us, she found the yoga asana practice to be a lovely complement to the miles she was putting in. Her clear teaching reflects her experience and…
Scheduled: The Workshop Workshop
I’ve always had a fondness for metanarrative—stories that are about themselves. It was the topic of my master’s thesis (on metanarrative cinema, and yes, this included The Muppet Movie and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure) and, in a way, of my doctoral dissertation (on images of the professor and the university in drama since Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf). Thus: the…

Listen: The Sticky Mat Society Podcast
I had a nice chat with Kate and Laura at the Sticky Mat Society—listen to it here: You’ll hear about my background in yoga; developing a niche; how to know when you’re ready to do something; and the first steps toward developing a book project. You can also hear the episode and find resources at the…
Register: Professionalism for Movement Teachers
You may have seen Michelle Goldberg’s New York Magazine article “The Brutal Economics of Being a Yoga Teacher” in the last week. Interestingly, the story doesn’t get into an exploration of the actual numbers of what teachers are paid. A story by Helene Olen in Slate today asks, “Why Don’t More People Discuss Their Compensation?” Discussing these…
