Yoga + Lifestyle
The word that embodies my focus for 2021 is renew. 2020 brought a lot of personal change, with the welcoming of our daughter, Beatrice. I allowed myself to shift priorities; a singular focus of getting know this new being and stepping into my new role as a mother. Now that I’m feeling more like myself and (kinda) getting the hang of being a new parent, I’m ready to renew my focus on health and wellness.
Yoga can often be quite the intimidating experience if you’re just starting out. The learning curve is pretty steep.
I’m sure you have so many questions surfacing and with endless resources have differing opinions it can be tough to sort through it all. So, where to start? Here’s a little guide to get you started.
I've dreamt about becoming a full-time yoga teacher for years now, the biggest piece that has prevented me from diving in has been finances and feeling comfortable enough to take the risk. After a couple of years of concentrated effort and focus, I finally felt like we were able to find financial freedom, allowing me to follow my dreams.
Watch the VLOG for tips on how you, too, can responsibly pursue your dreams.
In a fast paced life, it’s so easy to turn down the volume of our inner wisdom and begin soliciting external sources. In fact, we almost practice quieting this voice in favor of showing up in a prescribed way that our society and culture has told us is the “right” way to be. How can we cultivate this connection and tap into our inner wisdom?
I’m often asked how to “get better” at yoga and usually I answer with some variation of practice more often. Then, after focusing for the last month on arm balances in my group classes, I’ve noticed more of my students inquiring on how to improve. So let me be super honest, practicing yoga once a week is great, really great in fact; but, the truth is, if you’re truly working toward physical gains in strength and flexibility one practice per week just isn’t going to cut it.
Read on for my recommendations if you’re hoping to deepen your yoga practice.
