Yes, I’m a yoga instructor.

August 31, 2009

Well, it’s official!
 
I’m a certified yoga instructor!
 
After 8 long months of training, practicing, and soaking in every bit of yoga I could, I’m a real live teacher thanks to the Asheville Yoga Center and Yoga Alliance!

It’s a funny feeling…not the end of a journey, but the start of something new. I’m passionate now more than [...]

Essential

August 26, 2009

The last week has been nothing short of exciting here at good ole’ U of F. I’ve spent the past few days getting myself organized  and stocking up on all the essential tools for this upcoming semester. I’ve got a good feelin’ about this Fall. The fact that I have two classes that don’t administer [...]

Delirium

August 20, 2009

Well, it’s been about 84 hours since I have stepped outside…
 
Delirium is setting in. What day is it? What’s my middle name? WHO AM I!?!? After two hours of sleep the night before, and a long day following, I was beyond exhausted last night. I fell asleep on the couch in our room, and after [...]

Rush

August 18, 2009

It’s sorority rush week here at school. What does that mean for me? Well, lots of sugar and caffeine, and way too much time spent in the sorority house. In fact, I haven’t stepped outside in nearly 48 hours. Can someone say “Vitamin D deficiency?” Yikes!
 
In hopes of keeping a small fraction of my sanity, [...]

Woods

August 15, 2009

We interrupt this regularly scheduled food blog to send a bit of music your way…
 
I have been obsessed with the song Woods by Bon Iver. I heard it for the first time yesterday and actually got teary as I listened to it.

 
 
Typically when I listen to music, I am most influenced by the sound, [...]

10 cent tour.

August 13, 2009

Well…it’s definitely pink.

I’m all set up in my home away from home, and I must say…I’m a lot happier here than I thought I would be. I know that sounds kind of strange, but I was a little worried this time around. I was quite comfortable in my Tampa surroundings; a full kitchen, [...]

Observing

August 10, 2009

What a day it’s been! I have been running around, gathering last minute stuff for school and packing like crazy!
 
I did, however, get to spend a bit of time at the yoga studio today, not taking class…but observing. What an amazing experience. I think this was such a valuable thing for me to do as [...]

Lessons Learned

August 9, 2009

These yoga teacher training weekends are always exhausting. Not only are they physically demanding (think 8 hour days of practicing and moving constantly, and sitting on the floor for chunks of time that feel like days), but they are mentally exhausting as well.
This one was especially exhausting for me. After moving into the sorority house [...]

Coconoats

August 7, 2009

Today is the big day! Well, not really.

It’s the beginning of a big week, I guess I should say. Today I’m taking all of my things up to Gainesville, dropping them off, and heading right back to Tampa for a long weekend of yoga teacher training. It’s going to be a whirlwind, but I think [...]

Diagnosis: Food Rut.

August 6, 2009

Yesterday was my last time making a meal for S and K! Can you believe a whole Summer has gone by? Wow!
 
For my last meal, they requested the infamous Shaved Artichoke and Parmesan Salad I whipped one up gracefully this time, sans index finger, blood, and tears. Phew.
 

It’s a pretty [...]
