If you live anywhere near Silver Lake, you’ve probably passed Silverlake Yoga —on Glendale Blvd. at the corner of Rowena—a million times. Maybe you’ve even thought about checking it out. As someone who has found her “yoga home” at SLY after years trying different studios around town, I'm here to tell you, gentle Nike-style, just go in.

This fact is very hard to stomach for many of us, especially since we place such an emphasis on personal success and independence. As I have learned the hard way, it is okay to not always succeed and it is okay to ask for help when yo...
