Happy New Year. I suspect yours is full of the best of wishes, intentions, and habits. Here are 4 books that are on my favorite list for inspiration candy for healthy diet, happiness in life and career, and social equality. Gobble these up to enrich yourself in all the good ways. So grab your favorite hoodie and cozy up with these reads. Snuggling up with A Call to Action is like sitting on an old southern porch with a tall glass of sweet tea, spending a long afternoon with a great grand dad (who just happens to be President Carter) and soaking up…

Move easy, everything you've got, in every direction you can. When you work this way in your body and mind you accomplish so much more with less effort. Using the least amount of effort to move through life and work on what we do is a big secret that is right in front of us in nature. the trees don't work harder to move in the breeze. The ocean doesn't clench or tighten as it crashes into shore. But somehow, we evolved to tense, tighten, squeeze, and prove how hard we can work. It's a sickness of our too busy…

A little something to keep the family entertained during the holidays. A few tips! 1. Stay easy. Roll around in your hips. Move your whole body as you rock forward and back. 2. Move with your breath. Inhale as you rock forward. Exhale as you soften back. Your breath is great fuel. Let it help lift you. 3. Keep strength in your arms. No need to lock elbows, or clench any muscles. Just as you keep strength in your legs to stand up, keep strength in your arms to stand upside down. Enjoy!

I've always aspired to be someone who does and says the same thing. I think it's important to take a good look at how you're living, and make sure it lines up with your ideals. I've been looking at my Strala studio in New York, and how I spend my time here, and something became pretty clear. I love connecting with people! And I feel like I'm most valuable when I'm helping people directly. At the same time, as Strala has grown so much, I see myself spending more and more time managing people, and working through the administrative…

Long walks around our neighborhood here in NYC is the time and space I work with for day dreaming. The Christmas trees are already out, the madness of shopping in full swing, and what we all really want for the new year is probably a little more ease and wellbeing, me included! 2015 has been a year of cleaning and clearing for me. Lots as usual happening. Gears moving at full speed, awesome stuff happening everywhere, and a gigantic desire and magnetic pull toward more space, more ease, more calm at the front of every day. So I've come up…
