It’s officially National Yoga Month! Which makes the pill that it’s already September a little bit easier to swallow. I’m already in year 2 of a daily handstand challenge, and we’re coming in on the home stretch of the #liveharmlessffy 30 day challenge with Harmless Harvest at Flex & Flow. So what more can I do…
Hey there, Portland yogis! I’m so excited to be gearing up to teach my second arm balance workshop at Flex & Flow this Sunday the 28th at 11am. It’s going to be 90 minutes of a little bit of flow, a lot bit of playing on hands, and a lot of sweating! It’s open to all levels! How…
Whether Asheville ripped the phrase off from Portland (who maybe ripped it off from Austin), I’ve found myself calling some truly bizarre places “home.” In 2000, Rolling Stone called my hometown “America’s new freak capital.” (Read whole article here.) Needless to say I’ve grown up surrounded by the weird. I’ve always appreciated it, but…
This past week is yet another reminder to me that stillness, quiet, and rest are just as important to being strong as running, push-ups, weight lifting, and all the other activities I love to do. Last week was rough. Getting back from 6 days in LA (5 of which were 18-hour non-stop action-packed days), less than 3…
For Woman Crush Wednesday today I have to feature my partners-in-crime from our trip to Indianapolis for Fitbloggin: Jamie and Nicci! After the previous week in LA for BlogFest, to say we were tired is to state the obvious… But we unpacked, laundered, and repacked our bags, chugged some coffee, and headed for PDX. Only…
I’ve found the perfect morning rise-and-shine combination: yoga and coffee! I know this isn’t revolutionary, and I’m not saying I drink coffee while doing yoga (nor do I recommend doing so). But my Tuesday mornings perfectly start my day! I teach 7:30am Power Vinyasa at Flex & Flow for starters. I love starting my day with…
Happy Flex Friday, sweaties! Coming to you from Indianapolis this week! The Sweat Pink team is here rocking out all the Sweat Pink and blogging love for fitbloggin. Today for #flexfriday, we’re talking arm strength with Bob’s Red Mill. A lot of my activities end up working out my arms: paddling, bootcamp and circuit training, all…
In case you missed the onslaught on Instagram, we were in L.A. last week for BlogFest and IDEAWorld. It was four (plus our extra 2.5 of prep and break down) amazing and exhausting days full of Sweat Pink squad bonding, sweating, blogging learning, and booth babing. It’s a time of inspiration and motivation and of being…
Hills, inversions, resistance bands, handstand press-up… Today for #TheFitChallenge with Perfect Fitness and Fit Approach, we’re talking fitness goals and adding in resistance to our workouts! I’m normally pretty excited to get going in a fresh week, but I’m not exactly feeling very “rah rah, Monday” right now. Maybe once the cold brew in my overnight…
Yay it’s Monday! I’m actually really excited about Monday this week. It’s going to be busy and productive and oh-so-much fun! This week we’re talking all things rolling with Sweat Pink and Trigger Point! Like Jamie King Fit, I don’t foam roll nearly enough, even though it’s a part of my prescribed physical therapy and self…
