I am the author of several books, including Gilded Lili: Lili St. Cyr and the Striptease Mystique, and the owner of Past Tense yoga studio in Washington, D.C. My latest book, Living the Sutras, gives readers a modern, accessible and personal look at ancient yogic philosophy and the wisdom found within. The follow up card deck Live Your Yoga gives you 54 ways to reinvigorate your practice by connecting with the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras in a practical, hands-on way. 

As a freelance journalist, I specialize in exploration – whether it’s internally through yoga and meditation, physically through health and fitness, culturally and socially through profiles, or the myriad ways travel brings all of that together. I have written for O: The Oprah Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Health, The New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Glamour, Redbook, Shape, The Washington Post and others.
