Wellness is a journey

Hello! Quick health update: I’m pretty much healed up from pericarditis, besides a dry cough caused by the condition, I feel so much better! Unfortunately, I still have to take medicine and can’t run for another 2 months to ensure my heart heals and to avoid a reoccurrence. As the world was forced to stand […] Read more…

Last Saturday, I celebrated early by getting out of the house attending a grand opening for a local yoga studio called Grey Owl Yoga. The grey decor, the vibe, and the space is absolutely beautiful. They have a meditation room, two yoga rooms, and an inviting lobby. I was happy to see they have offerings […] Read more…
While practicing yoga, I try to find new ways to change up my practice every time I step onto the mat. Sometimes it is focusing on alignment, breath, or repeating my intentions while holding a pose. This week, I had horrendously sore hamstrings from a tough leg workout. I was so sore, I didn’t […] Read more…
I am a 200 hour RYT (registered yoga teacher). I love yoga and I truly believe if everyone practiced, the world would be a peaceful place.
