Post Yoga tension relieved and flexibility gained

Since relocating to the OC I’ve struggled to find a Pilates studio where I can continue the search for my abs. I really thought I had found a studio in Mission Viejo but a poorly handled customer service issue and a schedule change that included removing all Sunday classes gave me serious pause about continuing [...]

  Today’s activity of choice involved Salt Air, Seawater and surfer gawking.  I woke up completely unenthused at the prospect of practicing yoga in front of Lululemon size 10 and down clothing and the idea of cardio to nowhere made me curl deeper into my gorgeous comforter.   So I dragged ass out of bed [...]

Since moving to California I have struggled mightily with my Pilates practice.  I came out here an overconfident, semi-proficient reformer girl.  4 months later I find myself barely able to handle the hundreds and I haven’t lifted in short-spine since I visited Maine in November. I found a studio where I thought I could fit [...]

Sometimes the first thing is the best thing.  I have been lucky enough in my life that many of my firsts have ended up being the absolute best things in my life – my husband (first and only), my first roommate, one of my best friends then and now and my Pilates studio.  But sometimes [...]

Why is it that some days we feel motivated and strong and other days we just want to sink into a feather bed and leave a permanent body imprint?  I started out seriously contemplating sucking up the $20 late fee just to avoid using my core to balance my legs in the air, but I [...]

I returned from 2 weeks of vacation to find the same stress I left right there waiting for me.  So when I saw another Power of Possibilities workshop at Pure Movement – an introduction to Power Yoga -  I thought about it for a while and decided it just might be what I need to [...]

    Early Spring = creative void for me.  It also equals too much time spent behind my desk staring into the glowing emptiness of my computer monitor and a fitness funk I have not been able to shake.   Between the fitness funk and continued struggles with figuring out a way to not overeat [...]

FOOD – A Four Letter Word

Food. The ultimate four letter word. Just the utterance of the word can create a myriad of emotions from lust and desire to anxiety, fear and for some of us the ever-present feeling of guilt. Everyone eats. No matter your size, age or socio-economic state of being every body must receive fuel through the mouth [...]
