I was a high-school English and Journalism teacher in New Zealand, before moving to Europe. All my travel and exploring still hasn’t satiated my voracious appetite for a good story.

The classic meditation image of a sage sitting on top of a mountain, in lotus position, needs a little updating. In today’s social-media, multi-tasking, smart-phone world, few of us feel we have the time to meditate, let alone climb a mountain. If the word mediation scares you, rename it ‘mindfulness’.
Halle Becker wants to live for ever. Our NYC ambassador certainly has more than one lifetime’s energy in her. She shares her thoughts with us on why she loves practicing yoga with hundreds of people at a time in Bryant Park, where she gets her energy from and why she wants to live forever.

As an educator at our Houston Highland Village store, Laura loves to inspire others and to be inspired by those around her. Recently, she became so inspired by the flow of inspiration around her that she had to share her experience. Read on and join her circle of inspiration.
