The last two weeks of our yoga teacher training were a total whirlwind! Week 7 was our biggest and busiest week of training yet. Thursday night, we learned what parts we'd be teaching for our family and friends community class and then completed two round robins of teaching the entire sequence together. I was assigned… Continue reading Weeks 7&8: Yoga Teacher Training Reflection

Week 6: Yoga Teacher Training Reflection
"You're exactly where you need to be," we're told time and time again throughout our eight-week teacher training, but those seven words didn't truly resonate with me until our Chakra lecture in Week Six. I was not about the Chakras when we first started talking about them. Usually, I open myself willingly to other people's… Continue reading Week 6: Yoga Teacher Training Reflection
Week 5: Yoga Teacher Training Reflection
I'm a week late on my week 5 reflection, but it's better late than never! Two weeks ago we had two nights of an anatomy lecture!

5th Anniversary of My Lifestyle Change
I can't believe it's been five years since I did my first (and only) three-day juice cleanse to jump start what I affectionately named my "Lifestyle Change." For me, getting healthy was never about dieting--because all diets end. And my decision to start eating healthy and exercising wasn't a new years resolution--because I never actually… Continue reading 5th Anniversary of My Lifestyle Change
Yoga in Japan(ese)
Last weekend, I tried out my first yoga class on the island. I have been wanting to take a yoga class down here since I arrived, but I only knew about classes that met during the week. And when you're a teacher, a yoga class at 10 am on a Wednesday is not possible. But… Continue reading Yoga in Japan(ese)
