Hot Yoga Stuff: Ultima Replenisher Review

Hot Yogis and Electrolyte Replacement Drinks go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly I recently received a sampler of Ultima Replensher’s Balanced Electrolyte Drink mix from a giveaway on the My Yoga Life Blog (Woohoo!

Strike a Pose Saturday: A Camel Pose for Everyone [VIDEO]

Thought I would do something a little different this week. People learn in many different ways. Simple pictures and reading works great for a lot of people but for those of us who are  more “visual” learners a video is very helpful.

Mindful Monday Recap: Eat a Little, Pray a Little, Love a Lot

Have you seen the Eat Pray Love Movie yet? I realize this topic may have been exhausted already but, darn it, I have not yet witnessed the aforementioned motion picture event.

Then again, even if we are paying attention to our [...]

Have you ever lost yourself only to realize that you’ve actually FOUND yourself?

An experiment. You know yourself pretty well, right? What does it mean to not feel like yourself? I have a theory that these moments of discombobulation are a sort of crossroads and that insecurity can be a useful tool for growth and expansion. These are moments of choice and of power. For in these precious [...]

My Aha Moment Experience: Mom Was Right, Sharing is Good.

The Mutual of Omaha airstream came to Asheville, NC this past June and I hopped right on to share my story. If you are not familiar with Mutual of Omaha’s aha moment campaign and commercials, you can visit them online to see what I’m talking about.
