Okay, I admit it, the word “sexy” didn’t need to be in the title of this post. I literally spent at least five minutes trying to figure out how to work the words “sexy” or “hot” in with the words “meditation”, to no avail.
I suppose that’s why meditation, or Patanjali’s Dhyāna, gets nowhere near the attention [...]
Greetings from San Francisco! This week I’m in a 5-day Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Judith Hanson Lasater at Yoga Tree SF in the Castro. Today is the last day of the training, which has gone by too fast, which is always the case for me when I see Judith. (For those of you who’s [...]
One of my favorite movies of all time is Before Sunrise, which I have seen so many times the disc is completely scratched up. One of the memorable scenes that seems to be permanently stuck in my mind is when Ethan Hawke’s character recites the poem As I Walked out One Evening by W.H. Auden.
‘The [...]
Here in Seattle, there’s an indie alternative newspaper called The Stranger, wherein there’s a column called Last Days, which accounts for notable news of the last days in the last week, and it’s the inspiration for this blog’s format in Nikki Yoga News (NYN).
My Heart Will Go On
The 2nd installment of Intro to Yoga at [...]
This is another video in the New Yoga Teacher to New Yoga Teacher series, part of my work to support new yoga teachers. Here I talk about how to deal with both good days and bad days, and yes, they do happen. As they say about riding and laying down a motorcycle: it’s not a [...]
This past weekend during my 500-hour teacher training, Denise Carrico came to talk to us about teaching yoga for people with cancer. Denise is a yoga teacher in the Integral tradition who has been teaching yoga for 20+ years and for people with cancer for 12 years at Seattle Cancer Lifeline in Phinney Ridge and [...]
If you are looking for a quality Yoga Teacher Training Program, look no further than Pacific Yoga Teacher Training & Advanced Studies.
The next 200-hour training (PDF) is set to start on February 19, 2010, and ending on October 24, 2010. The program includes the studies of Yoga Asanas, Pranayama, Anatomy (gross and subtle body), Sanskrit, [...]
What does it mean to teach yoga? For me, the decision to take up teacher training came when I realized I had wandered far enough into the woods to point out what a tree looks like (groaning allowed here), but not yet far enough that I could confidently find all the floras and faunas, and [...]
Greetings from Feathered Pipe Ranch, Montana.
I’m currently half way through the Experiential Anatomy Teacher Training with Judith Lasater, who’s also the author of Yogabody: Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Asana. Apart from the beautiful setting, awesome food, and great people, the workshop is proving invaluable to my growth as a yoga student, teacher, and human being.
In her [...]
I spent this past week fully living in yoga, from morning to night, with a schedule packed with Yoga Asanas, Pranayama, Philosophy, Art of Teaching, and the Business of Yoga.
Without going into exhausting details of everything we did (and it was exhausting, physically and mentally), I will say that it brought me closer to my [...]

Muscles 'n Bones, Oh My! As you know I am big into learning Anatomy and everything that facilitates our movements. The books from Ray Long, an orthopedic surgeon and student of B.K.S. Iyengar, are beautiful to look at and can be a great tool in your exploration of hatha yoga.
