yoga, it's a lifestyle
Being a stay-at-home mom is no easy job. Unless you're a mother, it's hard to comprehend how much of your day is jam packed with preparations, chores, and busyness while staying with the kiddos. My infant boy has never been an "easy-going" child. He is pitta, full of fire and motion. He has lots of... Continue Reading →

My word. Traveling is difficult enough with a baby who does not enjoy car rides, but a weeklong beach vacation is not really what I would call relaxation. There were a few moments of sweet napping, smiling at family, and watching the waves, but there might have been more whining, confusion, and exhaustion (for the... Continue Reading →

Paschimottanasana or Seated forward fold. This is one of my favorite GO-TO poses! This bend stretches the hamstrings, helps calm the mind, and decreases depression. Begin in Dandasana (Practice 3). Keep the naval pulling into the spine and the legs flexed and engaged. Toes point to the sky. Inhale and push the tailbone back, away... Continue Reading →
Ever since my little brother was born, 22 months after me, I was obsessed with all things babies and cute kiddos! I blame a lot of this on him, because he was the cutest baby with the most kissable cheeks. I always tried to kiss his cheeks, even on the school bus. He didn't like... Continue Reading →
The spring of 2010, my junior year in college, I was blessed to study abroad in Florence, or Firenze in Italian. As a student majoring in Art History and working towards a minor in Italian, this was a DREAM! Sometimes it feels like it still was. For a semester, I wandered the charming streets...

One advantage of being "shorter" is that I am always looking up. I often get a different perspective because of the viewpoint change. At 5 feet 4 inches, I might be considered average, but I usually do not feel that way. I am very comfortable with my height and have learned to deal with any... Continue Reading →
