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 [...]

As a yoga teacher that specializes in “bringing yoga to the workplace and other unique spaces”, I’ve seen a wide range of spaces. I’ve taught in conference rooms, parks, theater lobbies, college auditoriums, classrooms, tropical palapas, kitchens, rooftops, organic smoothie joints, and a whole lot of other places. As far as yoga in the workplace goes, however, some [...]

“This experience was a life-changer for me” ~J.K. “This place is so incredibly special.” ~J.T. Just as it did last year, it’s taken me nearly a month to fully process the experience of a week spent at La Duna. When people ask me, “How was Mexico?” The only real word I manage to get out [...]

There are probably a million other things I ought to be doing right now. Like maybe…thinking about where to move my business checking account (it’s been real, Chase), preparing for a two week trip across the Pacific to make the family rounds in a few days, or promoting my upcoming retreat to Mexico in March, [...]

When I was growing up in the Philippines in the early 80s, Japanese robot anime (cartoons) were extremely popular on television…well, before the President Marcos banned them. Yep, banned them. The two that I remember most notably were Voltes 5 and Mazinger Z. I’ve been humming the themes to both of these shows for, well, decades now (remarkably, apparently in the [...]

Springtime is ripe with change. We add new activities to our schedules, start planning summer adventures, and break out wardrobe items that haven’t seen the light of day in six months or so (read: sleeves that let your arms feel the air!). Somehow, in the winter, there just seems to be more time. Some luxuriate [...]

Woke up this morning with a sore throat, and while lying in bed came across this little gem. It’s a sure-fire way to feel good when you’re not feeling your best. Enjoy!

A local news channel here in Seattle is doing a story on Phyzz and they filmed me teaching yesterday! The class was one of my longest running corporate classes, and it’s to the kind folks over at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. I have been teaching the staff there in this very same conference [...]
