Doing new things is hard.. But you gotta get out of that comfort zone!

Even when you become someone who is pretty consistently willing to put themselves out there and experiment, it doesn't necessarily get easier. In fact, sometimes, it can be even more difficult to try something new when you've already pushed yourself to make other significant changes. For example, a lot of new runners nowadays are using apps like Couchto5k to gradually get into the exercise. The app lets you start out walking more than you are running--but by the time you get to the end of the training, you're hopefully running the entire time. For a lot of people, jogging for several minutes without stopping is a huge feat in itself, it can take a while to get there. When you're a new runner, you pretty...

Is there such a thing as a Yoga Rut? Cat Bradley spills the beans.

  Below is an excerpt from a student, Cat Bradley, who lives and breathes yoga but didn't realize what a yoga rut she was in until she stopped by our studio. "Just wanted to say that my hubs and I are so happy at your studio--it's really been incredible. The energy at Yogacare is amazing. The teachers are so passionate about the yoga. I take most frequently with Nicole, Robin, and Chris. I also took a class recently with Suda-May and I was blown away. I literally have sat after class with Robin for like a half hour talking about a posture. After almost ten years of doing this yoga--I didn't realize I was in a rut until I came to your studio. I was really just...

New Full Circle Students are Already Seeing Results

The latest iteration of Full Circle is three weeks in. The 25 students have been attending yoga, meditation, and even some boxing classes. Elaine, a native New Yorker, is no stranger to yoga, but she’s never incorporated it into a lifestyle program like Full Circle. “I started this program with hopes of creating a set of habits I could use throughout my life. The Yoga classes to me were just a plus.” Even in just three weeks, the students are transforming, shedding old habits and creating new ones that will stay with them for years to come. “This program is changing me so suddenly. I’m excited to see what the end result will be. I’ve never been in a program that had the focus on the entire being.” And the...

THE YOGI LIFESTYLE by Alejandra Calatayud

Before Yoga got to western shores as a new-age commodity to counter the hectic society we have created, it was an ancient tradition dating as far back as the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. Inevitably across time and space, Yoga’s real meaning and objectives have been lost in translation to many of the practitioners of the last century.

Being a yogi is a lifestyle. It is not achieved on the last...
