We've been working on inversions in my classes over the past few weeks. While we we're having some free time to play with inversions, many students asked me how to get into headstand, so I thought it would be helpful to break it down on the blog! It can be tempting to get discouraged the first time you try a pose like headstand but don't give up. Inversions take a lot of practice, strength and mostly getting over the fear/weird feeling of being upside down! I used to be so freaked out by ... View the Post
How to Stay Motivated
I'm slightly embarrassed to admit this but yesterday I saw one of those silly Facebook videos going around that had tons of words flashing on it and it instructed, "screenshot this and whichever word you get is your word for 2018." Well, boredom in the 5-hour long car ride home from North Carolina got to me and I went ahead and screenshotted it. The word I got was "motivated."

The Essentials: 5 Ways to use Essential Oils
Lavender. Tea tree. Lemongrass. Orange. Eucalyptus. With these wonderful array of scents, it's no wonder essential oils have become all the craze lately.

I'd love to be able to tell you that I was totally ~zenned~ out and floated through the yoga studio like a highly meditated butterfly but that was definitely not the case. I was seriously stressing myself out before my first class. Will they think ... View the Post
So I Finally Tried Aerial Yoga
I've been practicing yoga for four years and just finally went to an aerial yoga class this past weekend! After sharing my body image post on Wednesday, I'm finally getting around to posting my aerial yoga recap. I somehow convinced Tyler to come with me (he's a gem) and neither of us had any idea what to expect. When we arrived we were greeted by a nice and helpful studio team. They helped us get settled and didn't make us feel silly at all for having no idea what we were doing. The hammocks ... View the Post
