During National Yoga Month, we’d like to celebrate three yoginis who have taken their love for yoga off the mat and into the digital universe. Each has an authentic voice that keeps us coming back for more of what they offer through their blogs, Facebook pages, tweets, video channels, and more. You may already know [...]

Embrace Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand)
August 27, 2012 By 7 Comments
I remember the elation and shock I felt when I lifted up into my first arm balance! I could not believe that I was seriously on my hands with my feet off the floor. I immediately crashed back down, but the feeling was still there… the knowledge that I could. The power of arm balances [...]
Yogini Groundhog Day: 15 Women, One Month of Yoga
August 2, 2012 By 2 Comments
What happens when fifteen women agree to meet at a Mexican villa in a small, discrete fishing village on the warm Pacific Ocean in the middle of summertime? What happens when these same women agree to meet for an entire month, with people they don’t know, to learn and practice an ancient art called yoga [...]
Yoga for Cyclists: Post-Ride Cool Down

I hope that you have been getting out and dancing on your bike on the roads or trails. It’s amazing how much more of your surroundings you absorb when you’re out on two wheels and using your own “motor.” At Women’s Quest, we will be dancing on our mountain bikes this summer in Colorado and this fall in Vermont!

I love the freedom of dancing through the woods with my mountain bike as my dance partner. I also love to reflect on what I’ve learned from this dance. Your bike has a lot to teach you in this school called life. At Women’s Quest, we will be dancing on our mountain bikes this summer in Colorado and this [...]
Tao Porchon-Lynch: Pure Gratitude at Age 93
May 16, 2012 By 6 Comments
I love yoga. I have loved yoga since my first class at the age of 18 back when I was a dance major at New York University. In that first class, I recognized that something magical was taking place in that room. That through a group of people breathing, stretching, chanting, meditating, and lying at [...]
Embrace Ustrasana (Camel Pose)

Back bends… you either love them or hate them. We are not known for treating our spine well. We sit in chairs or cars all day and I’m betting you’re slouching. I have some pretty interesting/unfortunate sitting habits myself and the result is generally a painful back. Three reasons why I think you’ll love back [...]
Yoga with Mom

Asana à Deux. Partner yoga seems to get a mixed reaction – some adore its playfulness, others groan when it comes up unannounced in a yoga class. It definitely changes the dynamic of a yoga practice, which is typically done solo. I confess, I never got super excited about partner yoga, but was always grateful [...]
Yoga for Swimmers
April 23, 2012 By 11 Comments
Women athletes inspire me, but there is a whole new level of admiration for the competitive swimmer. My husband swam competitively for years and my admiration runs deep for the discipline, gracefulness, and strength that it takes to participate. When my children were younger they competed also and I remember specifically delighting in their fearlessness [...]
