At the top of the month, I attended the SoulFestNYC held in Harlem. Soul Fest is an annual, outdoor yoga event that is held at the Adam Clayton Powell State Office Building grounds on 125th Street and all are welcomed. It just so happened that I was exhausted that morning and had no intentions [...]
When Father's Day is on the horizon, it always gives me cause for pause. I’ve written about this topic a few times, but each year I find myself compelled to say something more. There are so many amazing fathers in our community, and they are rarely given the acknowledgment that they deserve. We hail [...]
Daily we follow some kind of routine. From waking and preparing for our day, our family activities, commutes, appointments and errands, we have enough to do in our day that slowing down is for bedtime. Where does your wellness fit in? Sleeping between seven and eight hours is supposed to re-energize us, and on [...]
Most of us are not necessarily conscious of the fact that when we look at others, we observe their level of vitality and radiance, which is an indication of their Qi (pronounced Chee).

I imagined I would just go seamlessly through each month working-out with daily consistency. Little did I know that by [...]
Have you ever thought to calculate how many hours a day, week, month, year, you spend sitting on a chair or sofa? It seems the number of hours we spend sitting has many detrimental effects on our bodies – internally and externally – and sitting for extended hours on chairs flattens our buttocks and atrophies [...]
Baby, you’ve got a back! If you have ever seriously strained or hurt your back, you know it's a pain like no other. The back is half of the body, so when it’s hurt, that’s substantial. Even when we hurt our back in just one area, like a shoulder blade, or the lower back, it [...]
What happens when you drop a stone lover (that would be me) in a place like Tecate, Mexico? I was overwhelmed, but in a good way, by all the beauty surrounding this incredibly sacred area of Mexico. From the time we left the border and started the uphill ride to Tecate, there were humongous [...]
