Growing up, I played “ninja” with my sibling-like cousins. Today, I got to play ninja for reals, and completed my first, FREE “Level 0″ parkour course at Parkour Visions. Apart from a sore arm, a tiny splinter, and a minor bruise on my foot, I am unscathed and I have to say I LOVE IT. Knowing [...]

  Do you crave something to look forward to? We do! Going to La Duna each year, when the weather is still cold and the days are still dark, we look to this place for wholeness and light when we most need it. March 11th – 18th, 2013  Phyzz Yoga is heading to La Duna, [...]

Yoga means union of the mind, body and spirit with the Divine. Last weekend, I experienced this sort of union in many forms. I married the love of my life on Saturday and with that marriage came a profound integration both in my own body and spirit as well as among the many family and [...]

  There are plenty of “by-the-book” yogis that will swear up and down that if you’re not vegetarian, you’re not being 100% true to the yogic practice of ahimsa, or minimizing your karmic impact by eating low (i.e. plants and not animals) on the food chain.

Let’s just say that when it works, having a little extra cash to pad your local yoga teacher’s pockets ain’t a bad thing. My current gig recently had me plan, organize, and execute a 3-day conference that drew attendees [...]

Sometimes people ask me, “Hey Karen/Phyzz, you’re a yoga business. How come you don’t post/tweet/blog about yoga all the time?” Here’s the thing: I really don’t want to be some banal, pedantic, yoga-all-the-time-yogis that sends you recycled yoga platitudes and snippets of wisdom.

Okay. This NY Times article is furiously making its Facebook rounds, and I’ve now been emailed this article enough times that I compelled to say something about it. There’s been quite a bit of a yoga buzz in the news of late. Perhaps this is par for the course, being that it’s the season of New [...]
