{Written after a full day of YTT plus an extra class. One month left!} I’ll be the first to admit it: I’m a pretty stereotypical vinyasa junkie. I’m addicted to movement. I’m not a fan of holding poses for more than a few breaths. Trying a new arm balance or practicing inversions are my favourite…

My Yoga Journal: February 8
{Written before pulling a double*} I have less than a month left of my yoga teacher training (definitely should have started recording things sooner. Oh well.). A big part of me can’t wait for it to be over — I’ll get my weekends back (maybe), my Mondays, my occasional Thursdays; I’ll stop being quite as…
End of the Year Review: 2015
At the beginning of the year, I chose three words to grow in and help guide me throughout 2015: blossom, love, and fearless. It’s been a long year and a lot has happened.

After A Year Of Yoga
Recently, I’ve been asked a few times how long I have been practicing yoga. My answer? Oh, about a year. When I stop and think about my answer, I can’t believe it’s been that long. Before I started practicing yoga, I had never really given it much though — and I was definitely a bit skeptical….
Recap: 2014
Reflecting on the three words I chose to guide me through 2014, I am amazed at how much they described my year. I wanted to do a quick recap before I write about the three words I chose for 2015: Strength There were two main areas that I wanted to focus on gaining strength in:…
Embracing What I Used to Hate
The other day I found a list I had written a year or so ago of things I hated about myself. Why I still have it is beyond me. But as I read through this list of things I disliked about myself, it was funny to see how I’ve changed and that quite a few…
