Moms need yoga!  Athletes need yoga! Everybody needs yoga!  However, since I am both a mom and an athlete, I have found that time for more exercise is extremely limited.  By practicing yoga you are going to feel calmer during and after your yoga session- even if it’s only 10 minutes.  Taking that time for [...]

Instead, I have been enjoying a little break from running  by getting in 5 days of kickboxing. It’s an intense hour of teaching and it always kicks my BUTT! Not only have I been enjoying kickboxing, but [...]

When the Holiday’s come around I tend to get thrown off balance. In effort to not go crazy in the Holiday season I try and plan the best I can. I have said it so many times, but I believe it with all my heart planning is the key to a well balanced life and even [...]
