I WOKE UP LIKE THIS

1 Comment

I spent this last weekend in Austin, Texas at the first of seven weekends for yet another Yoga Teacher Training. Yes, seven. Yes, Texas. Yes, I do still live in Sacramento. . . California. Details. . . And, per usual, I learned lots of great lessons on my trip. Things like when making life complicated in … Continue reading I WOKE UP LIKE THIS

Guilt. Today I want to talk about guilt. Now, before you start packing your bags just sit down and chill; we’re not going on that kind of trip. . . at least not this time.

Suddenly the gyms are full, yoga pants are legit again (as in, they are actually getting worn to a yoga class and not a coffee shop), organic produce deliveries are on the rise while the deep fryers of late night diners coincidentally … Continue reading YOU CAN DO IT (PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT)
