A love inspired spinning playlist for Valentine’s Day

//  by 

It's the season of love hearts, chocolates and flowers which means it's time for a new spinning playlist! Though this playlist could be used for running, hitting the gym, gardening or having a dance around your kitchen *ahem*. This playlist is a rehash of one I made last year but never got around to posting, because I suck. Ok maybe I don't totally suck, but I kept saying I'd post playlists regularly and never got around to it, bad blogger! So here is the new updated valentine, love, …

So often in yoga we get told to "hold" our pelvis and twist, I say to heck with that and share a fun way to uncover how our bodies naturally twist! This somatic twist class is a goofy way to share that the pelvis CAN and SHOULD move in twisting poses! It may even help avoid back pain in twists! Embrace the fun and come join me on the floor exploring Parivrtta Dandasana! If you can’t view the embedded video above, you can view the video on YouTube. Maybe add it to a playlist? Above all, …

Tiger Coloring Page Free Printable for Adults

//  by 

Is anyone else feeling like "what the heck? it's February!". I'm not sure how it can equally feel like the New Year just started and yet also feel so long ago at the same time. As I mentioned in January's coloring page my word for 2022 is Rise. One of the songs on my rise playlist is "eye of the tiger" by Survivor. Sorry, if you have that song stuck in your head the rest of the day! So with that, and the fact that Feb 1st is the lunar new year and the year of the Tiger it seemed appropriate …

Live in the Present Quote Coloring Page Printable

//  by 

As we hurtle through the year and find ourselves in September I have to acknowledge that in just a few months I have a major milestone birthday. Over the years birthdays come and go but every 10 years we hit milestones. During this time it's easy to get caught up in thinking about bucket lists, looking to the future at life "running out". Admittedly, that was me at the beginning of the year. Then I found myself looking at the past, everything I had experienced so far in my time on the planet. …

The warrior 1 to warrior 2 transition why I don’t like it and don’t teach it

//  by 

When it comes to yoga teacher training, I feel very fortunate that I learned from a team of highly skilled and evolved trainers. My lineage includes Judith Lasater and B.K.S Iyengar, and my own mentor trained in Hanna Somatics as well as yoga and other fitness modalities. As such my training is rooted in personal antomy, and somatic experiencing. One thing that has always felt 'off' to me was the warrior 1 to warrior 2 transition. It feels awkward and clunky. Through my own education and …

Monday morning I sat down to write my to-do list and wrote "Saturday" across the top. Which was a good indicator of how my Monday morning went! Honestly, I'm in denial that Spring is here. And yet, here we are starting April. For a long time now I've had no clue what day it is, what week, or month. One thing I do know is that coloring is keeping me sane, and a new month means it's time for a new freebie. For April I created this Spring coloring pages printable. If you aren't aware of the …

Mandala Coloring Pages to save your sanity

//  by 

February was pretty rough. Whether it was pandemic exhaustion, mercury retrograde, or just plain burn out, I had almost three weeks of a deep 'funk'. When I say that creativity can save your sanity I am NOT kidding. Case in point would be how my mandala coloring pages came to the rescue to calm me down yesterday. Saturday my dog, began whining. Nothing unusual, as he does this a lot for his food. Only, what he was actually telling me was that he needed a potty break. Badly! He then had a …

5 Forward fold mistakes & their fixes

//  by 

One of the most beneficial things when learning new skills is looking at our mistakes. When we fail, we have the opportunity to learn and grow. Recently, I did a tutorial on Uttanasana, but in this post, I want to discuss 5 common forward fold mistakes. And, how to fix them! Forward folds have never been an easy pose for me. Naturally, I'm a back-bender. So poses like camel and bow come more natural to me. Therefore uttanasana is a pose I have to work at letting go. Believe me, I've made …
