Yoga for Tight Hips

danielle diamond · Aug 3, 2018 ·

Got tight hips? Sitting at your desk all day, playing driver to your kids for hours, or traveling for work with zero legroom can leave you longing for a 10-minute, pigeon pose savasana. Yep, you can do a pigeon pose or two, but if you really want to open them up and get strong at […]

5 Tips to Enjoy the Holiday Season With Less Stress and More Joy

Danielle Diamond · Dec 18, 2017 ·

I love the holidays! I mean, I love most things about the holidays. Ok, honestly there are just a few things I truly love about the holidays. Downtime with my family.  Cooking special meals for those I love. Decorating the Christmas tree. And the extremely raucous and competitive Yankee Swap party my friends host every year…. […]

Hip Opening Sequence and Meditation

danielle diamond · Oct 4, 2017 ·

The hips are known to be the emotional storage depot of the body, so unless you’re doing an emotional detox of some sort every week you’ve probably got some “stuff” caught up in there. I’ve always been a huge fan of hip openers, and even after my hip surgery I still make sure to add […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Yoga as a Mirror for Life

Danielle Diamond · Dec 27, 2016 ·

Have you always wanted to start a yoga practice, but weren’t quite convinced it was worth it? Maybe you didn’t want to “waste time” just stretching, or heard it was some cult-like, religious thing…. I’m happy to tell you neither is true. From personal experience, and that of my students, I can confidently confirm that […]

My Favorite Yoga “Off The Mat”

Danielle Diamond · Oct 30, 2013 ·

Gratitude: [n] a feeling of thankfulness and appreciation. If you’d asked me, when I first started practicing yoga 17 years ago, what I wanted to get out of my time on the mat, I would have focused solely on the physical aspect of overcoming a knee injury. Now? I practice yoga and meditation so that I […]

I GOT MY FIRST HATER! And Why I’m Over It….

Danielle Diamond · Jan 13, 2012 ·

Since launching my Xen Strength Yoga DVD, I’ve been floating around on CLOUD 9- thanks to all the wonderful people who helped me sell hundreds of videos in the first few weeks that it was released. Not only did my students and friends buy it, but I had orders coming in from Canada, Australia, and […]

A (Gr)Attitude Adjustment

Danielle Diamond · Nov 28, 2011 ·

“Gratefulness doesn’t come from being happy, but happiness comes from being grateful.” 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 […]

YOGALAND

Danielle Diamond · Nov 3, 2011 ·

What is it about having been a new yawker for 12 years that still makes me want to GO GO GO and DO DO DO 90% of the time? I’ve been practicing yoga for almost 15 years, and I know all about SLOWING down and turning in, and quieting the senses- but forgive me, I’m human- and I forget sometimes. That’s why at least once I year I kiss my family goodbye, pack up the 6 cd changer with an inspiring book, and hoof it to Kripalu.
