Quick Trip to Stuttgart

March 21, 2014

If you've been reading along for a few months, you might remember my husband Greg needing knee surgery for a torn ACL back in October. On Wednesday, we drove to Stuttgart for a 7am appointment to create his knee brace.

GAPS Diet Update

February 27, 2014

I've been following the GAPS diet for going on five months now. It was a huge decisionbecause it requires a lot of animal products and I had been vegetarian/vegan on and off for years, but I am happy to report that I couldn't be happier. At first glance, it's a pretty restrictive diet- no gluten, no processed foods, no sugar or sweeteners (apart from raw honey), but when I started looking at the diet in terms of what I could eat, rather than what I couldn't eat, I began to get a little creative and make things likemini pumpkin pies and riced cauliflower stir fry.

Personal Yoga Practice and Scorpion Pose Progress

February 25, 2014

Due to some back problems and the ol' ab injury creeping back in, I backed off my personal practice for a few weeks in December- sometimes you just need a break, you know? After a couple weeks of "rest" (I was still teaching five times a week, so it's not like I wasn't practicing at all) I felt ready to get back at it, and I made a promise to myself to step on the mat more for myself.

Lately, I've been working on some major hip opening stuff (see below) and arm balances. The hip opening is crazy... Click below to read more.

Birthday Weekend Recap

February 17, 2014

Yeah, thirty! You're here! Thank goodness, because while my twenties have been great, they haven't been without their challenges (like this and this) and I'm ready for the next chapter.

I had a really nice birthday weekend doing all the things I love: teaching and practicing yoga, catching up on my shows (the new season of House of Cards!), reading, watching a movie marathon (Dallas Buyers Club was the best I saw this weekend), and catching up with friends and family via Skype.

Weekend Recap

January 27, 2014

It was a chilly weekend (gross understatement), but that didn't stop us from heading out to a soccer game on Saturday. We bundled up and brought a blanket, but still had to leave halfway through because neither of us could feel our toes. It was a great experience though- the atmosphere was crazy (see below).
