A CHEF’S WIFE/ YOGA TEACHER’S GUIDE ON HOW NOT TO MAKE AN “ASANA” OUT OF YOURSELF…
OFF THE MAT AND IN THE KITCHEN!
Be flexible, I am!
"It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly." -Henry David Thoreau "Our ego loves to hold onto things and call them its own. Our ego loves to call ideas its own and cling to its ideas and opinions. But...
Nicc at Nite
I have a real treat for you all today! This being a yoga blog, I wanted to share some videos with you that I have filmed throughout the past months. Sometimes it's so hard to actually describe certain stretches or poses without actually giving you a visual and with...
Mussel up!
Thursday is my home stretch to the weekend so happy hump day to you all! Having spent the last two Sunday mornings teaching yoga at the LuLulemon Boutique in SLO, surrounded by my friends and dedicated students, and drinking Blood Orange Mimosas directly afterwards...
Don’t be tardy to the yoga party!
One of the studio owners I work for made the best comment the other day and I'm still thinking about it. She said that in her next life, she's going to open a yoga center and hire like 16 of herself because instructors can be so flaky, and it reflects poorly on the...
Awkward is awesome!
Have you ever been privy to a conversation that two people are having about you, yet they don't know you're in the room? This exact thing happened to me on Monday at the local health club where I work. While I was in a bathroom stall, two women started talking about...
Karma never loses an address!
"Welcome to the karma cafe. You will be served what you deserve." It's a sad day when a yogi, or any human, steals from another yogi (insert 'or any human' again) once, let alone repeatedly and/or for a long period of time. It's self-explanatory that stealing is...
Something for every Body
It's actually raining here on the Central Coast as I write this and for once, it's lasting more than just a mere five minutes. In the background, there are police sirens blasting, heading to accidents because California people do NOT know how to drive in the rain!...
Know Yoga, Know Peace
"Be the most positive person you know" is one of my many mantras. It goes without saying that if the whole world thought like this, the planet would be an entirely better place. I really do try to look on the bright side of things because there is so much negativity,...
Stick an egg in it!
If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, than why do so many people skip it or claim to have no time for it? Maybe it's because they (and maybe you?) are eating the same things each morning; let it be cereal, oatmeal, fruit, a shake, or toast, it's really...
iTired. There’s a nap for that!
Boy am I glad it's Thursday! When I woke up this morning, I was already dreaming about the nap that I'm about to take after publishing this post! So much for "rising to shine" eh?! If you didn't know or didn't see it, yesterday was a full moon. In the Ashtanga yoga...
OM is where the heart is.
I'm back from the most terrific birthday celebration I've had to date and I have the city of San Francisco to thank for it! Being a city girl myself, I made sure that we saw as much of the city as we could while checking off some adventures on our "bucket list" like...
Gratitude is my Attitude!
Do you ever find yourself saying "I have the best job ever?" out loud to no one in particular? If you don't then I suggest you quit your job and seek out your true passion or dharma; Sanskrit for your "path of righteousness," so that you're able to find harmony! I...
