I had the most incredible experience tonight at yoga. First let me preface everything by saying that Shandy Rae was my instructor ( I have mentioned her name before saying that she is my favorite teacher). She just got back from holiday in Mexico so she’s more relaxed than usual and playful and super fun. [...]

it’s gettin hot up in huuurrrrr
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my hot yoga class, but there are a few things that really bug me. I get the room has to be hot. But why does everyone resist keeping the door open between classes? Keeping the door open to the hot room lets out a bit of the heat that [...]

Final thoughts on yoga challenge
The good stuff! 1) The body and mind can work together if you let it happen. Never in my life have I been so in tune with my body. I feel when my body is hungry, how much it needs, when to stop and what to feed it. I know how much I can push [...]

Day 16 is done
I know you guys don’t care about me anymore, but are you reading my yoga stuff? I finished Day 16. I did it! And by the way – I decided that bad, junky foods put me in a bad mood. I don’t know if it’s because the actual foods have no nutritional value and just [...]

Tulum, or not Tulum
Oh hi there. This is where I need to go. I need someone who does yoga to come with me. Maya Tulum Enough said. I finished Day 15, not so much with a bang though. If anyone is interested in me in the slightest bit or loves me at all, you will be reading my [...]

bikini tops
it has been so hot here the past few days I’ve taken to just wearing a bikini top in my house. Gives me full access to check my stomach out in the mirror every single time I pass it. I took some progress pics and I have to say at least I wasn’t horrified as [...]

Goddess Warrior
You can read about Day 12 of my 30-day yoga challenge if you want. And I leave you with the picture of Durga I have been focusing on throughout my challenge. If you want to know more you can go here. But for now let’s just say she’s awesome.

No big whoop
letting go of expectations in yoga brings a better practice. adding more outside of yoga will help you with your practice including meditiation and breathing exercises.
