As we transition to a new year, this nugget from a yoga class in April (!!!) feels particularly apropos. I get really caught up in the next life pose—the next step, achievement, or thing to do. But I’m working on showing myself loving kindness in transitions, as they’re as much a part of the practice…
“Appreciate yourself. Is there something you’ve been wanting appreciation for? Thinking you deserve? Don’t wait for someone else to acknowledge you, acknowledge yourself for what you know you’ve done.” Caitlin, today at BFree, during savasana Wow, ok.
Aside from therapy wisdom, I’ve also been pulling out lots of good nuggets from yoga recently. Like this one: The gift of impermanence is that things don’t stay the same. Change can be hard; it’s easy to mourn what was. But those shifts are where we eliminate stagnation, and grow. Impermanence is a gift.
I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
I hesitate to even label this a Compliment or Insult but it’s kinda too funny to skip … We know I’m both an avid lifter and yogi, and Shannon is one of my favorite yoga teachers, and I’m at her Tuesday/Thursday 7:15am class on a more regular schedule than anything else in my life—except maybe…
I kind of don’t want to tell anyone this secret. Because for 6 months I’ve essentially been wearing sweats to work, and I don’t really want anyone to know that. Because right now NO ONE KNOWS. So these pants are all the damn rave. Take $15 off your order of $75+ at betabrand.com. I bought…

Because YOLO New Chapter – LifeShield Liver Force $22.77 I’m not saying my liver needs a detox or anything but YOLO. *new fave* LuckyVitamin – Probiotic Chews with Fiber 5 Billion CFU Mixed Berry – 30 Soft Chews $16.40 I freakin’ love these.…
Cuz you most definitely need a little om in your life before/after all that yum. Check out donation yoga all over O.C. at one of their ten CorePower locations, list here. Say you’re in Austin, they got you too. Houston, where I’ll be, has no CorePowers. I’ll be looking for a class (and update here…
If you can’t Thug Yoga in Aspen, then you gotta do other yoga in O.C. As Jessica Biel once said in response to how she maintained her banging bod, “I do a lot of yoga.” So like any good faux-celeb… I do a lot of yoga. Remember when I finally found Ekam Yoga? There, I…
I am grateful for my yoga practice, and how it centers/grounds me. I spend a ton of my time playing a lot of sports, CrossFitting with friends, hitting the gym solo, and doing yoga. I LOVE all of these things. But sometimes, I start to wrap too much of my identity in these things and when…
