New York Yoga and Raw Food Expo

NY Yoga Raw Food Expo

The Three Minute Egg will be exhibiting our revolutionary yoga prop, and offering free yoga classes at the NEW YORK YOGA AND RAW FOOD EXPO in NEW YORK CITY at THE HOTEL NEW YORKER from JUNE 11TH –JUNE 13TH.  Two teachers will be leading classes on behalf of the Three Minute Egg.  Schedule is as follows:

Friday 6:30 pm — Dr. Cornell Colbert  –  Finding the Asana in You — Murray Hill Room 4th floor.  all levels

Your body was not made for the asanas; the asanas were made for you! Find each asana in yourself during this alignment-based class for all levels. Rediscover (or experience for the first time) the magic feeling of comfort in every pose. Take your postures deeper (both physically and spiritually) without the pain.

Saturday 4:00 pm — Mia park — Hanging in the Balance Murray Hill Room 4th floor. level 2/3

Have you ever wondered how the folks in the front row do all those crazy arm-balances? Untangle the mystery in this Arm-Balancing Flow series. A gentle but challenging flow will help open up the body, preparing you for an advanced finale that’s easy on your wrists! You’ll never feel the need to be in the back row again!

Sunday 3:30 — Dr. Cornell Colbert  –  Because Your Body’s Not Square — Murray Hill Room 4th floor.  all levels

Restorative yoga can do more to purify your physiology than the hottest, hardest class you can imagine. There’s no better way to wind down a 3-day yoga marathon than with a series of effortless asanas. Learn some painless yet profound postures you can enjoy doing at home. Sometimes the hardest work of all is finding stillness in activity. This restorative practice will teach you how to nourish inner activity while you relish remaining completely still.

Want a  way to kick off your summer.  Please tell all your friends.  See you there!

Midwest Yoga Conference — Annie Carpenter, Cornell Colbert, Bahia Ohlsen – Yoga for Fertility

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Yoga Mandala

The Three Minute Egg is excited to announce our return to exhibit at the MIDWEST YOGA CONFERENCE outside CHICAGO from JUNE 3rd –JUNE 6th.  Last year we were fortunate enough to connect with master instructors Annie Carpenter and Dr. Cornell Colbert, who fell in love with the Eggs and used them in their RESTORATIVE and THERAPEUTIC yoga classes respectively.  This year both teachers will be back and they are planning their classes around the ways they’ve found most beneficial to use of the Three Minute Egg®.  Additionally (and I am extremely excited about this) Dr. Bahia Ohlsen will be giving a lecture on using the Three Minute Egg® in her Yoga for Fertility presentation on Sunday afternoon.  Dr. Ohlsen has inspired the next generation/variation on our product, the FERTILITY EGG.  These small Eggs will be very useful in all forms of yoga, Pilates, physical therapy, and back-care.  More on that as it develops!

Mia Park, a local Chicago yoga instructor, will be assisting in the booth again this year so come visit!

Please come to the show and enjoy a fantastic weekend of yoga, kirtan, and healthy living.  See you there!

Toronto: March 26-28

This weekend I’ll be exhibiting the Three Minute Egg at the Toronto Yoga and Pilates show. Last week I sold out of Eggs in Winnipeg at the Live This Life Expo (which I never had time to blog about). I’m pretty excited to see what happens this weekend! If you or anyone you know lives in or near Toronto, please tell them to come out and say “hello.” They might even want to buy some Eggs!

I’d like to especially thank my friend Graydon, who has been kind enough to host me while I’m here in Toronto. She and her friend, Megan (Pilates Instructor) will be helping me run my booth while I introduce my Eggs to Toronto.

See y’all there!

Three Minute Egg supports Partners in Health — Haiti

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

During my last appearance at a Yoga Journal conference recently held in San Francisco, I decided to donate $5 (to PARTNERS IN HEALTH in support of their relief efforts in Haiti) for each person who purchased one of my Three Minute Egg Starter Kits.  Lots of people bought Eggs, but unfortunately only a few bought starter kits.  Nevertheless, It feels good to do something, however small.  I have mixed feelings about this kind of giving, as I’m never sure how much of it actually gets to the people who need the help.  In the spirit of hope I make my donation — hoping that every bit counts, however small.

How did we get here?

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

I invented the Three Minute Egg 4 years ago, almost to the day! It has been an amazing ride so far, and as you now know, I didn’t get here alone.

When I first made the Three Minute Egg, it was out of wood — because wood was what i knew. It didn’t take long to realize foam was a better solution. It is lighter, more forgiving, and gentler on the body. It’s probably a good thing I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I created the Egg. I might never have done it!

I am continually humbled and encouraged by people’s response to this product. People who use the Three Minute Egg don’t just like it, they LOVE IT! I can’t believe the emails, phone calls, and testimonials people write — sometimes without even being asked! I am infinitely grateful to everyone who makes the Eggs a part of their practice, and doubly so for sharing their experiences with me.

What’s your story?

So Many People to Thank…

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Even though I somehow sort of run this business by myself, the reality is I have and have had, a lot of help from a lot of people. I’d like to introduce you to them by conveying my gratitude. The list is long. I hope not to forget anybody!

Thanks first of all, to Clark, Anthony, and Sparkdog for designing the new site and keeping me on track. Neither of which were easy to do! My deepest gratitude to Carrie for helping me give you the most accurate information I can about yoga and the Three Minute Egg; for traversing the country to help me at trade-shows; and modeling the poses so we can all so how it’s supposed to be done! Some images are viewable now, and many more are to come. A special shout-out goes to Megan, Daniel, Nicole, and Kelly, who came in early to get things off the ground with the first round of videos. (You’ll be seeing/hearing more from Megan — she’s been a huge help since the beginning! — as soon as we delve into Pilates with the Three Minute Egg. Megan’s been known to rock a conference every now and then. I’m sure you’ll get to meet her at some point.) Mia for representing the midwest and NYC conferences. Yoni, Alison, and Azul for taking the first photos of the Three Minute Egg in action. Robert for giving me my first web presence ever. Wendy for introducing me to Jim, who introduced me to York, who gets my Eggs made. I can’t imagine this endeavor without York. He is gracious, honest, and hard-working. Not easy qualities to find anywhere, let alone overseas. Aaron, Shane, Chris, and Dustin for putting in long hours behind the camera. Bruce for his incredible music and generous nature. Kurt for giving me my first job in film, and opening doors i never knew existed. I shutter to think what my life in Asheville would be like without Kurt. He was the first local to invite me into his world and encourage me to make it my own. Jon for round two of product images. Steve, Tom, and Bob for their continued guidance and tireless business coaching. Pam and Betty for leading me down the yellow brick road. Mark, Deborah, and Advantage West for enabling me to take this to the next level. Holly for handling west coast operations. ToeSox for giving me the space to expand. Veronika for stepping in early to help nurture wandering souls at MBSExpos. Josh for providing his soothing voice. Tanja for cooking up the ingredients for the logo. And Nancy for coming up with the name!

I’d like to thank Diane for being the first blogger to write about the Eggs, Mimm for posting online reviews every chance she gets, and Jane for introducing the Eggs to the VideoFitness community. Patricia for writing in-depth commentaries on the DVDs and everyone who posts comments and reviews on Amazon. You’re all amazing. I am truly appreciative.

I would like to dedicate this site to my daughter, Sula, who never stops loving me no matter how long I’m away. Humbled as I am to have invented something the world is wanting, there is no greater creation than a happy little girl. I love you, Sula. More than I can possibly express in words.

Sula wouldn’t be here if not for her mother, my girlfriend/co-parent/partner, Georgia, who never ceases to amaze me with her support, her patience, and her understanding. It’s not easy being the only grown-up in the house. I don’t know how she does it!

If you’re reading this now, welcome to the family. The Three Minute Egg wouldn’t be here without all of these people, and none of us would be here if it weren’t for you. We invite you to join us and make us a part of your lives. Send us your comments, your ideas, your photos, your stories. I want this to be a community. A place where people come together to share their love for their health, and their love for each other, and their love for the Egg.

I never knew one Egg could create so many possibilities.

How will you use it?
