The poses for the week were all pretty fun, with the exception of Baby Crow. The last pose, Samanasana, I'd never done before and was super awkward, but in a fun, 'glad I'm trying this at home and not in public' kind of way.

Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update
This past week started off pretty average, workout wise. I tried one of the new workouts that I pinned (Burn 100 calories in 10 minutes: Do this total body workout at home!) and was very underwhelmed. It was a decently tough workout, and I pushed hard, and only burned about 48 calories as per my … Continue reading Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update
Bend Into the New Year – Week 1 {Yoga Challenge}
Here is the first week of poses for the Bend Into the New Year yoga challenge, hosted by @karma_bhakti and @missbcross. I really like the poses in this challenge so far. I like back bends because they make me uncomfortable, but not in a painful way. I used to do back bends all the time … Continue reading Bend Into the New Year – Week 1 {Yoga Challenge}
A New Year of Workouts
I started 2015 off very casually, in yoga pants, sitting by the fire, drinking a mimosa-type drink with Buddha ice cubes, jotting down some notes in my new planner, and just talking with my husband. It was nice and relaxing, and we just barely made it to midnight. I've pinned a couple of new easy … Continue reading A New Year of Workouts

December's Yoga Challenge – Just Be Present – Week 1
Decemeber's challenge is all about poses that require you to be present. These are some of my favorite poses because they aren't necessarily difficult, but require concentration. One of my main reasons for practicing yoga is to take my mind off of every day things and practice being more "in the moment". The first few … Continue reading December's Yoga Challenge – Just Be Present – Week 1

I'm grateful for my childhood dance teachers for being inspirational and also for my mom for enrolling me in class when I was 4.
