As I'm currently doing my certification to become a registered yoga teacher I am soaking up ALL the yoga information I can find. When I go to Blogfest at IdeaWorld I'm doing a few yoga sessions. I've bought books, watched videos, and this weekend I'm attending a workshop that isn't even part of my training. You could say I am just a little obsessed. So when I saw the opportunity to review a DVD in exchange for a complimentary copy I figured it would be a nice addition to …

Is a yoga towel good for yoga?
So recently I've been doing some reviews and while some are products that I've used previously, some are new products that I've been eager to try out. One of those is the ABX yoga towel (I received the product in exchange for an honest review), this towel sits on top of your yoga mat and soaks up the sweat while you get your asana on. So as you can see above the towel fits great on the mat, and was actually a little longer, it hung over maybe an inch over the edges. The towel had …
How to roll up your yoga mat and keep it clean
So if you do yoga (you know you should), pilates or some other workout that means you use a mat, you'll know that those suckers have a life of their own. They get dirty and they roll awkwardly then won't unroll completely during your yoga practice. If you carry your mat to classes it can be more challenging so I made a handy dandy video tutorial on how to roll up your yoga mat to avoid kinks and keep it clean. Now you might think... Why do I need a tutorial? Well if you are rolling from one …
10 minute Yogalates workout for arms & abs
One of my most popular workout videos an 8 minute yogalates workout and I thought because I hadn't done a yogalates workout in a while it was time for another. In this 10- minute yogalates workout for arms and abs I've included calisthenics, and pilates exercises, with traditional yoga moves like downward-facing dog, and crescent pose. It's a challenge for the arms, core and balance too. Plus you may find it bumps the heart rate. Don't be fooled by the slow start, it's …
Youphoria Yoga Mat Review
One of my goals for 2015 was to dive head first into yoga. Not only by seeking more yoga education but also more personal practice, and teaching more classes. Part of yoga is having the right the equipment. I've got my mat(s), bags, straps and blocks but wanted another mat for home practice so I can leave one mat in the car ready for teaching yoga at any time. So I jumped at the chance to review this blue yoga mat by Youphoria. The sent me the mat in exchange for a review and I was …
quick 8 minutes yogalates workout
People who go to my spinning and bodypump classes are always shocked when I do yoga. I have an ability to turn off my manic "go, push, harder" persona and slip into my inner yogi. Yoga is something I've done since I was around 13. I remember going to classes at the local church hall, and while I may not practice consistently it's always something I've come back to over the last 30 years (geez I feel old now!). I love blending yoga and pilates together, along with other forms of exercise into a …
