In Sanskrit, yoga apparently means something akin to union or connection. I don’t know Sanskrit, I’m not an authority, but I like this interpretation. Throughout my life, I’ve been looking for the ways in which we are all connected, for the ways in which I’m connected – to you, to nature, to the world.

The Yoga Chronicles is my blog about my journey through a 200-hour yoga teacher training – and about the journey of life. I once imagined writing a blog or a book of essays that would be titled roughly, “So that you may not make the same mistakes as I have…” I envisioned it as a humorous description of my clumsy attempts to navigate this glorious thing called life. The missed connections, the fear-based decisions, the rejections. But let’s face it. You’ll make your own mistakes. Learn your own lessons. Have your own joys and sorrows.
