Home, Sweet, Yoga Mat…Or Something Like That.

March 8, 2010

I’m so happy to be starting a new week. A fresh start, a new day. Ahh yes. Monday. It’s a love/hate thing, really. Mostly love. It’s always mostly love.
 
Monday was on my side today. I woke up bright and early, sipped coffee, ate oatmeal, and read The Book of Salt – a class assignment that [...]

What is the ideal shape? And other thoughts on slendernes…

March 5, 2010

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between yoga and food. We had quite the conversation in this post – Gluttonasana aka You Got Butter on My Yoga Mat – in relation to an article in the New York Times about those who have a passion for both gourmet food and a hot, [...]

Gluttonasana aka You Got Butter On My Yoga Mat

March 1, 2010

A friend and I went to Le Cameleon today, a little restaurant right next to school in lovely Montparnasse. We enjoyed a three course lunch.
 
Yep, you heard me. Three courses. For lunch. If three courses for lunch is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
 
I started with the saumon [...]

Food and Yoga; My two favorite things.

February 26, 2010

Last night my roommate and I ventured out to have dinner at a restaurant suggested to us by several of our friends called Le Cambodge. We left early partly because we heard that quite the line can build up at this restaurant before it opens and partly because it was a beautiful evening and we [...]

Simple

February 10, 2010

Just the other day I was frolicking the streets of Paris, wearing nothing but my tights, a rather adorable skirt, and a light jacket and basking in the glory of nearly 50 degree weather.
 
One week later, and this is what we emerged to see after our class visit to the Cité Nationale de l’Histoire [...]

The Universal Language.

January 26, 2010

I find myself in this continual dance between overwhelming joy and gratitude that I am able to spend 5 months in Paris, and frustration with the fact that I don’t know the language very well and am quite honestly clueless in this big city. I’m fighting with those pessimistic voices in my head that are [...]

Lately. And a GIVEAWAY!

January 20, 2010

We’ve had some busy days here in Paris this week! Between class and orientation, we’ve been non-stop for the past three days.
This past Monday we went on a historical tour of Montmartre. It was a really foggy day, and really cold too. The weather here is so unpredictable. Sunday was gorgeous – comfortable temperatures and [...]

Holier than Thou

December 27, 2009

Yesterday I woke up and did the usual morning activities.
 
Ate breakfast.
 
Rolled around on the floor and called it yoga.
 
Showered and brushed my teeth.
 
Got a piercing.
 
No big. Just a moment of spontaneity. Actually, it was inspired by my ultra fashionable cousin Danielle, and since I like to be a follower (well, sometimes…), [...]

Flyin’ High

December 20, 2009

This past weekend I did a yoga workshop with Krista and Brock Cahill, and let me tell you…they mean business! Seriously, watch this…

 
Pretty amazing stuff, huh? We spent the weekend “playing with gravity” and working on every arm balance under the sun. I’m pretty sure I stood on my hands more than my feet this [...]

Musical Potpourri

December 17, 2009

My yoga studio here in Tampa recently started a donation based community class on Thursday afternoons. All the proceeds from the class go to the Exalted Warrior Foundation which brings yoga to wounded soldiers and veterans.
 
When I graduated from yoga teacher training, each of us had the opportunity to sign up to teach on [...]
