How to teach a better yoga class

danielle diamond · Apr 24, 2017 ·

There are tons of posts written for students about how to find the perfect yoga class, but how about how to teach one? When I first started out teaching I tried to emulate my mentors and then figured I should create a class based on what might draw students in, but not until I dropped […]

Top 3 Tips for Finding Your Perfect Yoga Class

danielle diamond · Apr 24, 2017 ·

I remember my first yoga class, and I wasn’t too excited to go. I was producing a big fitness video for MTV and my executive producer told me to go find the “next big thing” in fitness. I was a hardcore runner and spinner at the time, but that wouldn’t translate into a home workout, […]

Music on Your Mat? Yay or Nay?

danielle diamond · Mar 15, 2017 ·

“Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.” Beethoven See, even Beethoven knew what’s up- music can be spiritual! However, despite what the classical OG of music says, I’ve seen a ton of debate in the yoga community over whether or not it’s “acceptable” to play music when teaching yoga. […]

Amp Up Your Warrior III With Weights

danielle diamond · Mar 8, 2017 ·

One of the main reasons I fell in love with yoga was because no matter where you are in your practice, there’s always some place else to go. A basic pose to learn, a variation on that same pose to master, or an entirely new version of an old favorite like I teach in my yoga […]

danielle diamond · Feb 3, 2017 ·

Do people stroll by your desk at work, examine what you’re eating and ask a million questions about it on a daily basis? No? It happens to me all the time.  ; ) As a mind/body wellness expert, I constantly get asked about what I eat to stay healthy- whether it’s what my students see […]

Why I Almost Quit Yoga

danielle diamond · Jan 18, 2017 ·

Were you one of many ringing out 2016 by saying “good riddance?” This past year was plagued with unexplainable violence, racism, and tragedy; and to top it off, no matter my opinion on his politics we’ve somehow elected a president who is the last person on earth I want my two boys emulating- in real life or on social […]

The best foods to eat to fuel your workout

Danielle Diamond · Dec 30, 2016 ·

As important as moving your body is every day, it’s just as important to make sure you’re fueling it correctly before and after, to optimize your performance and enhance recovery. You don’t want to go to the gym without eating- your body will be pissed! No, you don’t want to eat a full farmer’s breakfast […]

Relationships Are Like Yoga Poses…..

Danielle Diamond · Dec 30, 2016 ·

The first few breaths (years) are bliss, then all of a sudden you’re 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 […]

Time for a “Mental Handstand”

Danielle Diamond · Dec 28, 2016 ·

As much as I practice gratitude on a daily basis, even the best of us can slip into ungrateful mode… as I did last week while driving to teach a yoga class. As always, I call myself out on my crap and shared the following story with my students. They appreciated my honesty and laughed […]

What John Mayer Taught me About Meditation

Danielle Diamond · Dec 27, 2016 ·

This month marks 15 years of marriage to my awesome husband, so a few weeks ago he surprised me with a trip to Atlantic City to see John Mayer; probably one of the only modern day guitar players I’d care to see live. I couldn’t have been more excited, until he told me it was […]
