Progress toward more self care #prAnastyle #poseoftheday

Yesterday for prAna and Fit Approach‘s #poseoftheday challenge, we of course had to talk about #transformationtuesday. I love this theme. It’s so easy to get frustrated about where you still want to go that it’s nice to remember how far you’ve come. There’s always going to be postures I’m working on. That’s nothing new.

Funky #ForearmFriday! #poseoftheday

Happy #ForearmFriday, sweaties! Today for #sweatpink’s #poseoftheday, we’re talking Funky Pincha (Option 1 is Tripod Headstand). This pose used to be incredibly awkward for me!

Enjoy that spoonful of Ben & Jerry’s!

I finally convinced my roommate/best friend last weekend to come to yoga. We attended a community class at the local lululemon store. We arrived to find out that class was being led by an instructor from the meditation studio: it was a guided meditation session. You might have figured out by now that I love being active. I love…
