I'm excited to announce that starting next week, I'm joining the Pavana Yoga team in Hoboken and will be teaching on Mondays at 9:30am weekly. The studio is brand new, downtown and gorgeous. If you're into a Vinyasa flow class with intelligent alignment instruction and some light rock and roll (Kings of Leon, Pearl Jam, DMB, John Mayer...), then this one's for you. Hope to see you on the mat!
Lately, I've been noticing that more and more lifestyle brands are taking a wellness approach targeting how they can become part of a healthy lifestyle and it makes me so happy. Beauty brands caught onto this a while back and began creating cleaner products and marketing them towards health enthusiasts like myself, but recent mailings I received proved that this wellness thing is way more than just "trendy." It's a lifestyle that's not going anywhere... Here are some of my favorite new products that are completely on brand.
This past weekend I attended Yoga Journal Live, yoga workshops and lectures with world renowned teachers, at the Hilton in midtown NYC. Literally, hundreds of workshops were held over four days, and people from all over the country attended. I felt like I was at the Governor's Ball on Randall Island running from stage to stage to see some of my favorite musicians perform. Only instead of having a drink in my hand, dancing my way through the crowd, I found myself carrying my mat, notebook and props from conference room to conference room amongst thousands of other yogis doing the exact same thing.
What do people love more than being comfy? Looking cute while being comfy. So get excited because the word "athleisure" is being added to the dictionary... early 2016. The sudden recognition should come at no surprise considering 90% of consumers wear fitness apparel for activities other than exercise, sports bras are now 20% of the bra industry and denim sales are plummeting and active wear pants sales are rapidly rising. Here’s a look at some of our favorite high-end fitness fashion lines.
Can you believe I'm already half way through? In just two weeks, I'll be a 200 hour certified yoga teacher! Even though the afternoons seemed long, this week actually flew by. The change of perspective I had towards the end of last week about the training (see week 1 post) really helped me dive in each day and take in as much as I can this week. I love it and the more I learn, the more I want to teach.
