Never Ever Give Up ~ A Different Type of Yogi Inspiration
As we all know, yoga takes on all different forms: Vinyasa, Kundalini, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Kripalu, Aerial, Chair, and the list could go on for days. But yogis come in all shapes, sizes, ages, colors, and they all have a tale to tell. Below is an amazing video that someone shared with me on FaceBook, that [...]
Restorative Yoga: Everyone Deserves A Second Chance
The first time I took restorative yoga, I hated it. I did not love the instructor. I felt like there was something off about the energy of the class, and I had no idea what I was walking into. After hearing other teaches rave about this other teacher’s restorative class, I decided to go for it. [...]
Product Review: Jade Harmony Yoga Mat
; After almost face planting it in plank and trying to do an inversion, I decided that it was time to purchase a better mat for my flow classes. A fellow yoga-obsessed friend of mine had just purchased one, and one of my yoga teachers uses a Jade Harmony yoga mat. I went online and [...]
Vinyasa & Comfort Zone Annihilation
A couple of weeks ago I finally tackled my fear of taking Vinyasa. For those of you who don’t know about Vinayasa style yoga, it is a fast paced flow from one asana (pose) to another. There are inversions, back bends, and tougher poses involved. My first Vinyasa class was my 2nd yoga class ever, [...]
Yoga: It’s Called a ‘Practice’ for a Reason
I have been doing a ton of yoga lately! If you follow me on Twitter, you know I’ve been taking at least one class a day, sometimes 2 or more! I am in love. My back has been feeling so much better, I am able to sit for longer periods of time with less discomfort [...]
Workshop: Yoga Intensive with Raghunath!
Two Saturday’s ago I did a 2 hour yoga intensive workshop at the Center for Health and Healing in Toms River, NJ. It was the first yoga intensive I’ve ever attended, and it was inspiring! He opened up the class by having us all [...]
Partner Up!
For over a year now I have been promoting hot yoga to anyone who will listen. Last week I even dragged my boyfriend along for the ride. He loved it! When I told him it was going to be over 100 degrees in the room and that the class is 1.5 hours, he was more [...]
Back Into the Flow of Things
Yesterday I took my first hot yoga class in about a year. I stopped going to classes because we moved twice, but now we’re back in our old apartment, so the yoga studio is nice and close again. I feel like yoga is the key to helping prevent injury and speeding up recovery from my [...]
Restorative Yoga
Today I took a restorative yoga class with @greenteagirl. Neither of us have taken this class before, so I think we were both a little surprised when the instructor had us set up bolsters, yoga blocks, blankets, eye pillows, etc… The class is about an hour long. You do 3-4 poses for about 15 minutes [...]
