read moreBurger Mania or Yoga Options by Mike Cardillo
Grass-fed. Black bean. Turkey. Bison. Veggie. Impossible. There are endless ways to grill your favorite burger this summer — saying nothing of the available bun and topping options. As Pranakriya yoga teachers we learn during our 200-hour training that there are also...
read moreSelf Observation by Catherine Striegel
It’s rare that I incorporate quotes into my teaching or turn to them for inspiration. Taking a few words out of context never feels sincere to me, and I shy away from oversimplifying concepts. And in practical terms, memorization is not my strong suit and I’m likely...
read moreSaving Savasana by Lori Henry
Have you noticed something missing at the end of many yoga classes these days? Now that class time is down to one hour and teachers are often trying to rush out of or into the room due to the close booking of classes, savasana is becoming shorter or excluded...
read moreStopping the “Should” by Amy Necci
As I sat pondering what I should write about this month, I began to wonder if I would write anything at all. I had plenty of themes I wanted to develop waiting for me on a brainstorm list that I keep, but nothing was presenting itself with an overwhelming need to be...
read moreThe Yoga Police by Mike Cardillo
Early in my 200-hour teaching training, Jen — a member of my Sangha — coined the term “yoga police.” Although, to my knowledge, no one cruises around the country making sure classes are on the up-and-up, the idea that a yoga police exists served as a good reminder...

What brought you to the mat as a student and then as a teacher? In 2011, I found myself burnt out from my work with affected communities where natural resource extraction was resulting in harmful public health and environmental consequences. I had stopped taking care...

read moreTime to Restore by Lori Henry
There is a funny thing that happens when I have time to rest but stop listening to my inner wisdom. I start planning for weeks into the future and telling myself that there’s only so much space for everything I need to do in this life. What if I’m idle for too long, I...
read moreThe Practice of NOT Being Seen by Amy Necci
I’m so happy that summer is here, and that we can see such growth all around us. This inspires me to stay focused on continuing to blossom and allowing myself to be seen. Over the winter and spring I learned some important lessons about balance and taking care of...
read moreThe Power and Depth of Kripalu Yoga
The Power and Depth of Kripalu Yoga was an unpublished article by Yoganand Michael Carroll. This article was written in 2004 to address differences Yoganand saw between Kripalu Yoga and the teachings of Swami Kripalu. The ideas expressed in this article led Yoganand...
read moreA Participant’s Perspective on the Swami Kripalu Lineage Tour 2017 by Lori J. Batcheller
“I want to go to India.” My friends heard me utter that phrase so many times over the years that, when I announced that one of my favorite yoga teachers, Yoganand Michael Carroll, was leading a Swami Kripalu Lineage Tour to India, they quickly replied “do it!” I...

read moreYoga Lessons from a Baby by Catherine Striegel
A few months ago, I joked in the marketing for a Mommy & Baby Yoga class that “the babies are already experts.” I was struck just the other day by how true the statement is: I was watching her try to lift a shampoo bottle that was too heavy out of a basket. I watched...
read moreHatha Yoga Pradipika [free download]
This is a 14th century text that is a foundation for Tantric Hatha Yoga. This is the translation I use in the Pranakriya 500 hour teacher training. I use it mostly because it is the translation Swami Kripalu based his commentary on. There are many ancient versions of...

It has been almost 4 years since I began a deep purge of my belongings. A significant life event and the necessity of moving spurred along something I had thought about for a while before it happened. When I was sorting through what would be donated or kept, I...
