For many years before I found PureJoy Yoga, I struggled badly with fibromyalgia and anxiety. I was on many different medications including a few serious ones for pain.

Yoga is like a love affair and I remember my first encounter so clearly. It was 7:30 p.m. on a winter night and I stepped into a Power Vinyasa studio in midtown Sacramento. The room was hot, the music was loud, the class was challenging and the teacher was hip with a dry sense of […]

Winter is the season of darkness. We see it all around us; the days are shorter, many furry creatures & plants go into hibernation, and we begin to spend more time huddled in the warmth of our homes.

When I first started practicing I loved that I could walk into a studio or a gym and leave all of my baggage at the door. The girl at the front desk didn’t know my story, didn’t know what I did for a living – I could just unroll my mat and breathe. The teacher […]

Tools to be successful with your yoga practice Let go of expectation. The practice of yoga is done on your own mat, drawing your attention inward. There is no expectation on you by the teacher or other students to be able to do every pose – or do it “perfectly.” At PureJoy, we believe the […]
