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 …
7 minute Yogalates workout 20140603
Workout Wednesday folks! Yes I'm back!!! We got back Monday from our trip to Lake Casitas and I'll be sharing photos and details of the trip soon but today is Wednesday which means it's time to workout. As I've been de-stressing this weekend I figured why not do a yogalates workout? Yogalates for those that don't know is a mix of yoga and pilates. I used to teach this twice a week and have gotten slack with it over the last few years and I definitely see (and feel) a difference. Flexibility is …
Workout Wednesday – 5 minute yoga routine
I've been doing yoga since I was 13 years old, don't do the math it's depressing... let's just say that's a long ass time! Anyway one thing I did last week after the workout was record a quick yoga session I do after each workout, and I figured it would be a good idea to record the yoga routine incase anyone needs a good stretch and flexibility workout. I did this one through for this video but feel free to repeat a many times as you like. The routine is basically: mountain …
