DailyFlow Ten-Minute Mornings : 8a Weekdays

“The Yoga of…” is a reflective blog series that brings yoga philosophy off the mat and into real life. Each essay explores how mindful movement, awareness, and presence can help us navigate the everyday—whether it’s embracing chaos, finding flow in spontaneity, or showing up courageously when it’s time to go live.

Through honest reflections and gentle insights, these pieces invite you to see that yoga isn’t just something we do—it’s how we live.

The Yoga of Effort

The Yoga of Effort explores how effort functions best when it’s skillful, attentive, and well-placed. Drawing from decades of yoga practice, this essay reframes effort not as strain or self-worth, but as a tool—one that serves clarity, breath, and sustainable practice both on and off the mat.

For experienced practitioners who value mindful movement, sustainable strength, and daily practice, I share how Daily Flow is becoming clearer, quieter, and more intentional — and why branding itself can be a form of yoga.

The Yoga of Chaos

In The Yoga of Chaos, I share a story from my early days of teaching yoga — when a noisy party outside my studio completely threw me off balance. Back then, I blamed the distraction; now I see it as the lesson I needed. Yoga isn’t about escaping chaos but learning to stay calm within it. Rooted in the teachings of Patañjali and B.K.S. Iyengar, this post explores how mindful movement and breath help quiet the mind — on and off the mat.
