The Importance of LGBTQ Drug Rehab Programs
LGBTQ individuals often face unique challenges that can lead to substance abuse. Discrimination, social stigma, and family rejection are just some of the difficulties that can contribute to mental health issues and drug use. Because of these...
We go deep
I’m yet again in another two weeks of an advanced training with my teacher (Hi Jason!). Let me first say, I truly love doing these trainings. However, sometimes they can be very daunting. For two weeks, I meet from Monday through Saturday for about eight hours and...
No one cares about your handstand
It’s easy to get caught up in the physical practice of yoga. With so much pressure coming from social media, sometimes it seems like yoga is just about doing crazy postures. The truth is that yoga is a living system. It’s about treating yourself and others well. It’s...
