If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I'm fitness obsessed.  Working out, whether I'm in a yoga or barre class, is a form of meditation to me.  When the Bar Method opened in Hoboken two years ago, I found myself immediately addicted and began attending classes four to five times per week.  As someone who, loves to focus on technique, the isolated movements work for my mind and body.  Bar Method is always my answer when people ask me why my arms are so toned.

YogaWorks Teacher Training: Week 2

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.
