The time has come! My new Red Tent officially opens on Tuesday, May 1. The discounted membership price will disappear then.

If you don’t see your question answered here, feel free to ask them in the comment section below and I will answer them by the end of the day on Monday, April 30 (Red Tent membership discounts end at midnight MT that night!).

What do you need to do to love yourself more?

We can think of lots of external things … weight, relationships, finances, connection, loving…

The deeper answer to this question is what I have repeatedly mentored hundreds of women (myself included to return to again and again over the past decade: To love yourself, you must continually reconnect with yourself. Read Full Post

One Thing You Can Do That Will Eliminate Your Overwhelm, Anxiety & Burn Out

Published on Thu, 12 April 2012

I kneeled in front of my altar. I lit a candle and a stick of Tibetan incense. I offered a piece of my favorite dark chocolate at Her feet, and then I sat down on my meditation cushion.

I had hardly slept the night before, or the night before, or the night before that. Insomnia has plagued me from time-to-time throughout my life, but never as bad as that particular stretch.

Let’s Talk About Yogasms

Published on Wed, 21 March 2012

I was 22 when I had my first yogasm. It happened at the end of an Ashtanga yoga Mysore practice. Morning sunlight poured through the windows of the yoga studio, gifting my sweat-covered body with a sheen.

Sitting on my mat, I delicately tucked each foot into “lotus pose,” pressed my palms down on the floor just outside of my hips, and lifted myself up.

My Spring Detox: Days #7 & #8

Published on Thu, 15 March 2012

I didn’t get a chance to post last night, as I was in a community meeting that went over (by 3 hours) and I didn’t get home until midnight! Aiy! But it was worth it

Let’s see….yesterday was a good day although I started to get really, authentically hungry, and my body knew it was most likely going to be my last day of juicing. Indeed, it was, as today, day 8, as planned, I broke my fast. Read Full Post

My Spring Detox: Day #6

Published on Tue, 13 March 2012

I have a candle lit and am drawing a bath right now. It’s been a full day–a great day, but a little bit more full than I would have liked while fasting. I’m looking forward to working at home tomorrow and having less out-and-about meetings during the first part of the day. Read Full Post

My Spring Detox: Day #5

Published on Mon, 12 March 2012

Hi again. I’m back after being offline for the weekend. My workshop went great on Saturday and I enjoyed a day off on Sunday (I gave my house a deep cleaning). I actually decided to start my juice cleanse on Saturday because my body didn’t want any solid foods. Now I’m into day #3 of fasting and 1-2 juices a day.

Keith came down with the flu today so I’ve been nursing him back to health while keeping up with my herbs and my Monday workload. But, overall, feeling great!

So on day 5 of my detox (and day 3 of my juice fast) here’s what went down: Read Full Post

My Spring Detox: Day #2

Published on Fri, 9 March 2012

Funny, I almost didn’t post here today. My inner critic was saying, “Who cares? No one wants to read about this!” And then I come back to the point: I’m going to write anyway. I’m going to do what I said I was going to do.

So on day 2 of my detox (and day 2 of my pre-cleanse) here’s what went down: Read Full Post
