I cannot believe my baby is half a year old! He seems so big, and has grown so much... but he's still a baby. Thank God! Babies are my favorite; infant age is my favorite phase but it has been much harder with my own child. I never expected being a mother would be simple,... Continue Reading →

From a mother of an infant
On any given day, I will have breastmilk spilled on me. And a boob out. Maybe both. Sometimes I forget... I may also forget I have to pee because I can't set him down. Or I put him in a wrap, and we go together. There isn't much time to answer texts or have a... Continue Reading →

Before this month took off, I was working on ideas for my yoga classes. I decided to explore the yamas, one of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, during the month of June and have classes related to them or mentioning the ideas. Depending on the style of class, of course.

Rome wasn’t built in a day…
Rome wasn't built in a day, and most likely, neither were our physical ailments. It has taken me quite some time to get where I am right now. And as a human being, there is still always room to grow, improve, and learn. There is still much more for me to experience, but I am... Continue Reading →
