Tao Porchon-Lynch: Pure Gratitude at Age 93
I love yoga. I have loved yoga since my first class at the age of 18 back when I was a dance major at New York University. In that first class, I recognized that something magical was taking place in that room. That through a group of people breathing, stretching, chanting, meditating, and lying at the end on the floor much like children in nursery school during mandatory ‘quiet time,’ something powerful was happening, something I could not place my finger on, but I knew in the deepest recesses of my self that this practice would be with me for life...

Yoga for Detox
Fall is a time when many of us start to withdraw into ourselves a little. The days are a LOT shorter (I went for a run just yesterday at 4:30pm and it was pitch black by just after 5!! — good thing I wore my reflective vest that I purchased through Athleta!), the air is much cooler, and it is a challenge sometimes to even get out of bed in the morning to start the day, let alone exercise or eat well!...

Movement
People often ask me how it is I do what I do; that is, swim, bike, run, paddlesurf, surf, teach and practice yoga, run the studio, a two-day triathlon camp with the amazing coaches from Team Total Training, and one of them referred to Newton’s Law of Motion, it clicked for me...

Abhyasa (Practice)
I have been practicing Yoga for the past 18 years. Wow. Crazy to write that. I actually wrote this ‘blog’ several years back, immediately after one of my closest friends and fellow yoga teachers in our idyllic (and oft mis-understood) community of ‘the hamptons’ was involved in a horrible car accident along a somewhat barren stretch of highway linking the towns of Amagansett and Montauk aptly named ‘the stretch.’..

Stand Up Paddle Yoga
The sport of Stand Up Paddling (SUP) has really taken off. It seems everyone these days is enjoying, or would like to experience, the feeling of “walking on water.” I just finished reading Suzie Cooney’s enlightening and informative blog on SUP, my boyfriend Adam Kelinson (author of The Athlete’s Plate), also just wrote a piece on SUP for Triathlete Magazine, and I just returned from another awesome Yoga/SUP Retreat with best friend and owner of Paddle Diva, Gina Bradley...

Race Recap: More/Fitness Half Marthon
Running. For some of us it is our joy. For others, the idea of running one mile, let alone 13.1 miles, conjures up a dread akin to having to appear in traffic court (as I did this morning!). I fall somewhere in the middle of those two extremes, although over the years my reluctance has shifted quite a bit... Continue reading this article

If You Never Did, You Should
“If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good.” ~ Dr Seuss Happy birthday to Dr. Seuss (born March 2, 1904) and what a fantastic message to us all. As I prepare for our women’s Yoga and SUP retreat with my friend Gina Bradley (founder of Paddle Diva) here in Rincon... Continue reading this article

These Damn Foggy Goggles!
As I was racing today, for the third year in a row, in the Mighty Hamptons Olympic distance triathlon, I had a moment in the water with my goggles fogged up, and no buoy in sight, where my mind jumped to complaining mode. For a moment I thought to myself, “This sucks,” and then proceeded onto a tangent about how I should have trained more, and how I should have tested my goggles, and… Continue reading this article
