It’s no secret that I love yoga, but I haven’t talked much about it recently—mainly because I haven’t been taking many classes (the move, the injury, the lack of a studio…) Which is why I’m excited to take YogaWorks’ Fall Into Yoga 14-day Challenge starting today. The challenge is $14 for 14 days of classes…
I had SO much fun “researching” the hardest workout classes in Orange County. Y’all know I love to lift hard and heavy, do yoga, and play lots of sports, so trying more classes definitely got me out of my routine. Trouble is, I want to figure out how to add them all INTO my routine!…
There’s the real thing. Then there’s the Tribathlon (which comes first? hot tub? steam room? or sauna?). And now, there’s the mindathlon, otherwise known as Wanderlust 108, the world’s first and only “mindful triathlon”: a 5K run, a 90-minute yoga class and a guided meditation on the beach … at the Santa Monica Pier on…
Since, you know, celebs go there all the time anyway. And when they’re there, they ski and yoga. Hell, that’s all I did when I lived there too. BUT, April 17-20, my skiing spirit animal (and yes, I know she’s a snowboarder but I don’t care because it was her [line for Oakley] ski/snowboard pants…
If progress motivates … I am at full motivation. About 2.5 months ago, I started working out at a “regular gym” (ie, not a CrossFit gym), following Power Athlete’s CrossFit Football Amateur programming pretty closely (my roommate is CFFB/Power Athlete staff and amazing at life/lifting, so this is helpful). The main reasons: I want to…
“I moved here over a year ago and have been searching for a studio ever since. I did all those week and month trials, and I finally found one I am willing to pay for!” I said this the other day to the manager of the yoga studio I adore. It was maybe accidentally offensive.…
I heard a story once about a certain overpriced controversial yoga clothing line and their end-of-day billing reconciliation practices. The manager was allegedly overheard saying, “I don’t know why the numbers don’t add up, just manifest it!” The numbers didn’t add up. But there is something to be said for the philosophy of manifesting things,…
On Feel Good Friday, I said this: Well, some time off from working out to, ahem, reflect. More to come in another post. This is that post. I tore my hamstring. In yoga. I’ve gone through several different cycles of understanding about this injury. First, The Facts Monday night one week ago today in hot yoga, I…
Maybe it’s the years of basketball indelibly searing a love of mesh into my soul, maybe it’s the sexy factor of skin + air, maybe it’s the contrast—or confluence—of sport and fashion, but I freakin’ love mesh. I love it in athletic clothes, in casual clothes, in fancy clothes. I love it in small patterns…
My favorite thing about Jessica Biel? When asked how she keeps her incredible figure, she once reportedly told Fox 411: “I have no life … I spend a lot time in yoga class.” Word. A professional makeup artist friend of mine did my makeup for my recent red carpet walk (ha! I was just there…
