So, it was a Tuesday night and I was in one of the regular yoga classes that I attend, when I learned of the christmas party ( Read more... )

So, the next item on my prize list is finding a holistic nutritionist. (recall: I am giving myself the prize(s) that I didn't win through the Sweat Equity contest.  http://sweatequitymagazine.com/life_style_transformation.html)
After looking up a few holistic nutritionists online, and learning that they charge, on average $90/hour I decided to go ( Read more... )

Tonight is my first Yoga Teacher Training class at my studio.
I am super jazzed, and am leaving momentarily to get a little bit of mat-time in, before the class starts.
I have just one question though.
Does anyone know where to source yoga books. (It'd be nice if they were used.)

Ok. So it has been five days now since I entered the Sweat Equity Life Transformation contest. I keep thinking about what I said in my application and about the components of the prize that were appealing to me. Everything that I thought I wanted to achieve with the prize’s help, I know I can do on my own; it is just a matter of determination and ( Read more... )

For weeks now I have been looking forward to the big yocoto 3day festival on this weekend at the NBS. I have been banging on about it, incessantly for weeks now in the hopes that it might spark the curiosity and interest of any and all that see my facebook status.

The festival showcases local authorities and leaders in asana, philosophy, ayurveda, ( Read more... )

Last night’s yoga class was led by a substitute instructor.

On the surface, this sentence seems to communicate that the regular instructor was replaced, or had someone fill in for them. In actuality, though, the sentence is relaying a whole more.

At the yoga studio where I usually practice, it has happened, on occasion that a regular instructor is ( Read more... )

So, on Saturday instead of returning home after my usual 11:am Ashtanga class, I decided to kill an hour and a few minutes to try the 2:pm hot yoga class I’d been thinking of trying for like two, or three weeks now.  (This was a big deal for me, as a result of my first exposure to hot yoga.)

Rewind: About two years ago or something I tried a Bikram ( Read more... )
