Posted on December 9th, 2010 by Maria Santoferraro

So, I started teaching yoga classes for my friends and family recently and went out and bought a bunch of yoga mats so the newbies could practice in style on the comfort of their own mats.

Morning Yoga Rocks

Posted on August 16th, 2010 by Maria Santoferraro

I have to admit, I’m not a morning person. I hit the snooze button more than a few times every morning (it’s my own special way to get even with my snoring husband). It takes me a while to get functioning, and please don’t try to strike up a conversation with me until I’ve had more…

Eat, Work, Yoga

“[My guru] says that people universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you are fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and more…

Be a Lover, Not a Fighter (of the Yoga Pose)

Posted on August 9th, 2010 by Maria Santoferraro

My yoga instructor totally made me laugh the other day when we were in pyramid yoga pose (parsvottonasana).

The ABCs of Yoga

Posted on August 6th, 2010 by Maria Santoferraro

I’ve been thinking a lot about my Daily Downward Dog posts. I seem to focus more on the physical aspects of yoga, but I don’t spend as much time on the spiritual aspects of my yoga practice. Over the past year I have become more flexible and my back feels great, but I’ve also grown more…
