I am finishing up my essay and reading for the first week of my Prenatal Yoga Training. I wanted to share here my entrance essay. It’s been a some time since my births, and reflecting back on my journey with birth, yoga, and what they all wrap up into together… was intense. And has left…

When You’re in a Yoga Rut
When my heart recommitted to yoga it was with a goal. I was desperate to head stand. I was diligent and tireless with prep poses, strengthening drills, and falling over time and time (and time and time) again. Eventually, I lifted. And it felt like magic. A magic that I knew I needed to keep…
Tips for feeling your BEST on Vacation!
There are a million ‘healthy vacation habits!’ posts out there, and most revolve around a hotel gym, egg whites from room service, and saying no to. . . everything. These bits of advice aren’t quite in line with those, but if you are getting yourself to the hotel gym on the regular when you’re vacationing…
5 Things to tell your Yoga Teacher
For me, coming into a yoga class can feel intimidating. Strangers, spandex, and fear of “doing it wrong” runs deep and wide for many people as we walk through studio doors. Walking along with you can be your past experiences, a teacher or family member (or stranger on the internet) who said something that left…
Am I quitting blogging?
Teaching Yoga is so new to me. My certification was only finished up last September, and I’ve only been teaching since October. I’m still a brand new teacher and every class is a massive chance to learn, grow, and be humbled (and, I’m guessing that’ll be true forever!) In the past three weeks my life has…
How to use a period cup: The TMI Tell All you need.
I’ve been using a period cup for almost 6 months now! It took me at least the last 5 years of hearing about them, and how amazing they are, for me to finally pick one up and give it a go, and I had a fairly steep learning curve with it – it wasn’t till…
How to get Wiggly on your mat; Home Sequencing
One of the biggest struggles I had, and come common questions I receive about yoga at home is “how do you know what to do??” And I wanted to demystify that a little! You DO NOT need to be a yoga teacher to put together your own flows at home! A studio practice isn’t accessible…
Head-Standing Heavy
I’ve felt wonky in my body lately. Like something is missing. It was confusing. I am heavier than usual, but feel lighter. Clothes are being donated left and right, and images I never thought I’d post are going up without a care. Something is happening in my body, and instead of eating it away, something…
YouTube Yoga
I love doing yoga on YouTube, my favorites are Yoga With Adriene for me, and Cosmic Kid’s Yoga for my girlies (also that woman is a MACHINE. She never stops talking/moving/amazing me.) But my own youtube yoga videos? NOPE. I’ve been asked a bunch, but I felt like “what do I have to offer that…
