Before I even moved to the ocean, one of my favorite quotes (not attributed to anyone as far as I can tell) was: the waves of the sea help me get back to me. Which is true. But yoga does that for me too. Which is why I headed down to the beach during the magic…
September is National Yoga Month. To celebrate, CorePower Yoga is asking yogis everywhere What’s Your Why? Upload any photo—preferably of you doing yoga—on their site here, fill in your why, and boom: a cool graphic just for you. My mind, body, and soul have been craving yoga recently. CorePower has 7 studios in OC, 4 of which I’ve been to—just…
Happy International Day of Yoga! A new yoga mat for me has been long overdue, but I finally got this gorgeous purple eKO Lite Manuka mat. Baby’s first nice yoga mat. I almost feel like a real yogi. But what really makes me feel like a real yogi? Yoga mat spray. That you don’t have…

But there is something to be said for the philosophy of manifesting things,…

The fella will remain anonymous, but all of female-kind will benefit. Male-kind, you will learn what not to say … On Yoga…

It’s Ashley Turner yoga boot camp week again (click here for my obsessions from last time) and it’s been a tough week so far. Not only is the physical practice incredibly challenging (more so than last time), but she’s raising questions … again. All of which is awesome, of course. What are you rushing toward?…
