Musings On The Road
Musings inspired on the road — by past trips and present, and by international friends — gave rise to these travel notes. I may never stop traveling — in my mind or in person — and missing the many people and places that transformed me.

The Hidden Benefits of Yoga Retreats
The health benefits of regular yoga practice are well known, and you don’t have to do acrobatic or hot yoga to reap them. I discovered even more benefits from doing occasional yoga retreats. You get to disconnect from the noisy world and maintain a calm center for days instead of just an hour or two, and you meet like-minded people who also want a break from their busy lives.
