As many of you know, I am heading to Costa Rica to help teach yoga to teachers and then guest teach at my first yoga retreat. The time leading up to this huge journey has been filled with reflection and creating intention.

Summer finding the Zen in the city…

On Christmas Eve day, while most people [...]

This is Warrior II holding a clubbell, on a rooftop in NYC. Escape the city (or town) come do yoga with me in Nicaragua!

I am very excited to announce that I am hosting my first CST Infused Yoga Retreat in Nicaragua this February 19th – 25th. This will be an amazing time for people [...]

I often get asked where I did my yoga teacher training. For those who are new to yoga, most yoga teachers complete what’s called a 200 hour teacher training that is recognized by a larger governing body called Yoga Alliance. I will tell anyone who asks that I completed mine at an intensive retreat, meaning [...]

When I teach a client to move, it first means explaining that you should always be connected with your body when you move. This comes as a surprise for some people, because we think of working out as something that we “do TO” our bodies. It is a huge misconception that the mind is somehow [...]

What is HIIT? It is an acronym for High Intensity Interval Training, a very fitting one too. Sometimes the intensity can really “HIIT” you, but it keeps you on your toes. HIIT involves running or cycling in high intensity bursts, with adequate “active rest” in between. I have to say that this is my new [...]

Practicing Yoga in NYC has been quite a wonderful escape from the city so far. Arriving here, my first inclination was to find a few studios to try out for a week at a time… until I find one that really resonates with me. By literally typing in keywords into google, I was able to [...]

Putting your best self forward at all times…

As some of you know, and others don’t… I am moving to NYC to pursue personal training/yoga on November 11th. This last month has been filled with introspection and awareness that I haven’t felt in awhile, as I am viewing Bellingham through the eyes of someone who is [...]
