OFF THE MAT AND IN THE KITCHEN!
I love the time change!
Said no one, EVER!!!! God, it's wicked dark out there right now and it's not even five o'clock! I feel like I could curl up with a good book and put my pajamas on but I haven't even eaten dinner yet… sigh, I miss the summer, sigh again. Today was a half-day for me...
That’s the way the pumpkin crumbles!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here? Time flies when you're having fun.. especially if your kind of fun is doing yoga on pumpkins, squash and anything else that seems like a challenge to balance on! At Yoga Centre, where I teach in SLO, the pose of the month...
Yogi in the Kitchen
This yogi took some time away from the kitchen yesterday for some much needed R&R in Santa Barbara in the form of shopping, lunch, and more shopping! My student/friend Elizabeth (from Illinois!!!) and I headed down to SB with two stops in mind- LuLuLemon and...
It’s a kale spa day!
My student Shelley and I were joking the other day that our kale salad's get more spa treatments in the two minutes we use to prepare them, then we both do all year long! As we were discussing this another student said, "I hate kale," and we both got a good laugh!...

DIY Day
Yesterday's book club at my house was such a success! I had the pleasure of hosting 10 lovely ladies to discuss the book "Wild," by Cheryl Strayed, while we snacked on ridiculously good cupcakes that Elizabeth brought and stayed warm outside sipping on yummy red...
Beyond Yoga
What is Beyond Yoga you ask? I have no clue, but I love that brand of yoga pants! Haha! Students (thanks Elizabeth!) have been asking me to suggest my favorite yoga books, beyond Patanjali's Sutras, that are very hard for most students, never mind non-yoga people, to...
#yogaeverydamnday
What a Game One last night! Boston is strong! Told you! I've been so bummed out about my twisted ankle, that the game last night was exactly what I needed to take my attention off of it. I can't for the life of me think of what I did, and this has happened a few times...
BOSTON STRONG!
Tonight is the first game of the World Series featuring my team, the good ole Boston Red Sox! Oh you didn't know I was a Sox fan? Now ya do! And those terrorists thought they could bring Boston down? Not a chance! If anything, what happened at the marathon helped...
