Last week I traveled to Providence, R.I. for a work trip. Sometimes when I travel, especially if it's not for vacation, I can get anxious about being away from my normal routine (Type A problems). I've been trying to show myself more grace -- less stressing, being more go with the flow and enjoying new experiences instead of worrying about not being able to make it to my normal yoga classes or cook my own food. I know it sounds silly but my stomach is very sensitive to what I eat so knowing that ... View the Post
My Top 5 Yoga Must-Haves
My Top 5 Yoga Must-Haves This week, I'm sharing my top 5 must-haves for my yoga practice! I was taking class on Monday and one of my fellow yogis was raving about how much of a game changer yoga mat towels are for practicing. She was giddy that she can now take back-to-back classes and not have to worry about practicing on a mat that feels like a slip n' slide (#hotyogalife).

I did manage to take a break from my marathon and spend a few hours ... View the Post

Breaking Down Sun Salutation A. In this post, I dive into the most common flow in yoga -- why we do it and how to do it! Sun Salutation A, Surya Namaskar A in Sanskrit, is used to warm up the body for our yoga practice. The root "nama" means "to bow," which can be inferred to as "to let go." Sun A allows us to let go of our day, our thoughts and what we are holding onto and completely surrender into our space on our mat. It allows us to release our burdens and tap into our body and our ... View the Post
Meal Prep: Week of October 9, 2017
Meal Prep: Week of October 9, 2017. Sharing how I prepare for the week ahead after a weekend of travel! If you follow my Instagram, you probably know that I was home in Hershey, Pa. this weekend. I was so excited to be back in one of my favorite places with my favorite people. It was the first time that I've spent more than 24 hours at home in months and I was missing it so much. The warmth and familiarity of home is so comforting. It takes some time to be away to realize just how special the ... View the Post
