I tell people I don't eat sugar. That's not quite true 🤔 As a general rule, I tell people I don't eat sugar. But that's not completely true 🤔. What I mean is that every day, I make a conscious decision not to eat any. And when I say sugar, I'm including most carbohydrates with that, so bread, rice, oat milk, that kind of thing. I tell myself I'm not going to touch it, knowing full well I probably will at some point because I'm only human 🫣. But the mindset matters, because

I have often said that seeing yoga as just stretching is like seeing the ocean as just water 🌊. To think that means you miss the truth of the life it carries and the depth it holds.

This viewpoint presents Shiva as a historical source (the first teacher of yoga) who opened

I want to share something with you that genuinely stopped me in my tracks this week. I was surprised. But not really 🤔 I was scratching around some research late at night - 8pm specifically when Laura goes to bed 😮 - and I stumbled upon something. You know that feeling after a good yoga session where everything just feels... settled? Calmer. Clearer. Like something inside you has exhaled? 😮‍💨🤷🏾‍♂️ Turns out that's not just in your head. It's in your gut . Literall

Take a stand for your health (your most important poses) If you ask most people what yoga is for, they'll say flexibility. And I get it. But after years of teaching and digging into the research, I've come to a pretty firm conclusion: the most important poses in your entire yoga practice should be the standing ones . Hence why I place such an emphasis on them in class. Long term health is built around the foundation of these poses. Here's why I feel so strongly about this
