September… A Clean Slate and a New Beginning!

September 3, 2014 / Announcements

It happens to me almost every summer, and I suspect, I am not alone. It meaning falling off the “eating healthy/practicing regularly wagon”.

So my priorities and… Read More

My Journey

August 4, 2014 / Announcements

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and my college graduation picture said happy and successful but also overweight and unhealthy.

Recently, I posted the following quote on my FB page: “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” Sounds so simple, doesn’t it!? Yet often making changes are so difficult, even though we know deep down what we need… Read More

Thank You from IPY

February 9, 2014 / Announcements

The reason Inner Power Yoga is open is because you come to practice. You show up, unroll your mat, breathe and move. Many of us start yoga for physical reasons and perhaps stay for reasons that have nothing to do with the physical.
