We got back from an amazing, sweaty, restful, fun weekend feeling… exhausted! Let’s first talk why I’m feeling exhausted. We headed to Hood River for three days to teach at the OutFound Festival. It kicked off in true Flex & Flow fashion: with a dance party. What better way to celebrate the amazing view and sunset…
I hate, hate, hate when people tell me they can’t do something, especially when it comes to yoga. I’m not flexible enough, is the most common excuse. I’m not strong enough. I could never do a handstand. It’s too hot. I’m too stressed and busy. It’s too weird, with the chanting, “ohms,” and incense. I’m…
I run, so I’m a runner. I think we all have this image that pops up in our minds with the mention of a “runner.” I am not that stereotypical image, that’s for sure. I’m not long and lean (generally no running in a sports bra for me! Hello, tatas!). I don’t run marathons; actually,…
I think this June is going to be the sweatiest EVER! Not only will I be in North Carolina for quite a while (hellllllloooo humidity!) and will I be amping up my running to prepare for my half at the end of the summer, but there are so many ridiculously sweaty things happening. Are you…
My Sunday was full of mud, silks, hula hoops, and downward facing dog. Only at Wanderlust! Yesterday I got to attend Wanderlust 108, a pop-up Wanderlust festival here in Portland, OR. It’s a version of a triathlon, featuring running, yoga, and meditation. Though I taught at FFY in the morning and couldn’t attend the run, I…
As much as I love to try new things, I’m also very much a creature of habit. I find something I like and I stick with it. I try out a new tank, love it, and get it in three more colors. I’m very loyal to my favorite brands. You can usually spot me dressed…
#tbt to 8 years ago, just a young little chippy studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain. For years I’d been a runner, mostly playing sports and training for those sports. But I ran a lot. Even though I’d exercised, trained, and been very active for most of my life, I thought I maxed out at 3-4…
I’m in a slump. A funk. A I just wanna curl up on the couch in a snuggly blanket mood. I think it’s somewhat universal, at least up here in Portland. We’ve had maybe a few days of sunshine in months, let alone a warm and beautiful spring season. It’s hard to maintain a bright and…
As we’re nearing the kick-off of our very first HIIT Yoga teacher training here at Flex & Flow, I can’t help but think about when I did my very first YTT. Nearly six years ago. I had to think about how long it’s been since I did my training when Caitlin asked me the other…
We have so many amazing things on the horizon! It’s obvious we have so much fun, and somehow do it while sweating our faces off. Join in on all the fun things with us! FFY HIIT YOGA TEACHER TRAINING At the end of the month we’re leading our very first HIIT Yoga teacher training at…
