			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first few breaths ( years) are bliss, then all of a sudden your holding your breath (and biting your tongue)
Yoga means "union, to bring together." Within your physical practice you negotiate the UNION of the mind with body, body with breath, and breath with movement. A union of some sort takes place in any relationship whether it’s student /teacher, parent/child, or in marriage, which is thought to be the most sacred union- although I wouldn’t ask Katy Perry or Kim Kardashian for advice <a href="http://xenstrength.com/relationships-are-like-yoga-poses/" class="more-link">Read more [...]</a>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[How many times do you go to Whole Foods, turn sideways next to a shelf, and then reach your arm overhead, gracefully arching while lengthening through your intercostal muscles to grab that box of gluten free cookies? Yeah, I thought so.
Most of us spend our days plopped in front of a computer, or playing chauffeur to our kids, hunched forward with our shoulders all up in our ears. And MOST of us never bother to counter-stretch all the muscles that get tight from sitting that way.

Not only did my students and friends buy it, but I had orders coming in from Canada, Australia, and every state in between; plus orders from Collage Video and Total Fitness DVD's, which are two of the biggest online fitness retailers.

Yes folks, it's that time again- everyone's talking about them, some are making them, and many might have already broken them- telling themselves they'll START TOMORROW. It's the new year, and resolutions are hotter than Kim Kardashian in a bikini. I say forget 'em- I mean really, how often have you made a resolution to then only have been disappointed in yourself because you didn't "live" up to your lofty goal.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first year I taught after becoming certified, every minute was spent policing my actions so that I was an example of a "good" yoga teacher; whatever that means. One day a group of teachers were talking about a trip one took to India. After she described having to pee in a dirt hole, deal with stomach pains all day, and beat down cockroaches 24-7, I unconciously blurted out, " I'd rather stick a fork in my eye!"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In the spirit of my Xen Strength Yoga DVD launching one week from today, I thought I'd make you a quick video to show you how I take regular yoga poses and amp them up to Xen Strength status. I'm using Warrior 1 as the foundation here, and give detailed alignment instruction on the basic pose before adding the weights element. Check it out here

Working the poses this way not only gives you a fabulous stretch, but also builds muscle and bone density- who doesn't need that?

Thanksgiving is like a big party at my dad’s house in Florida- 25 people eating outside at an elegantly set table overlooking the water-while kids happily jump in and out of the pool. It always goes off without a hitch, but there is much prep involved before the guests arrive, with everyone pitching in.

Unless you live in NJ and still don't have power, you probably know it is 11.11.11 for the first time in 100 years. Some say it's auspicious, some say it's a load of crap....I've taken a liking to the whole "Pollyanna" attitude lately, so I'm going with what's behind Door #1 and thinking about some good intentions and manifesting all the things I'm in the process of creating right now...
