Hi there. I feel like I’m coming up for air in the best way possible. I’m a little over one week into the changes I shared last week. Adjusting to a new schedule and routine is always a bit of a challenge but it’s also proving to be a much needed breath of fresh air. Every day I feel grateful that I took the plunge and the energy around all of it has been so good and right. In addition to all the yoga stuff, I’m also full steam ahead on my yoga book and other writing projects. There are a lot of balls in the air at the moment but I’m excited about them. That’s a good place to be.
Here are a few photos of what life has been looking like lately over here.
Lots and lots of yoga. I taught 10 classes last week and I’ve practiced more in the last week than I have in months. While I love all of the jobs that I do, teaching yoga is my #1 favorite. When I teach I’m ALL IN for my students so it’s a lot of energy out. I have to be mindful of making sure that I do things to make sure that I’m getting some of it back. This means more quiet time at home in favor of constant social plans and spending time on my own personal practice.
Speaking of quiet time at home, this one has been keeping me company. We have been taking long walks to get clear and get present. She’s the best companion for it.
These are the kind of amazing messages I get from my personal training clients. Another sent me a series of photos from the Nordstrom dressing room of her in cocktail dresses saying she’d never felt so good and confident in her life. I love my clients!
My teacher Johnna Smith agreed to be one of the models in my yoga book. We’ve been shooting for the last week with Wanda Koch. Johnna’s practice is unbelievable. I’m so honored to have her featured in the book. This is us goofing off at the shoot. We always end up with random photos like this on set.
I have absolutely zero recent eats to share with you other than this fig and prosciutto flatbread. I have been eating the same exact things for days. Smoothies and leftover chicken and winter squash chili. I needed a break from the chili last night and made this flatbread instead.
I jumped at the excuse to put on real clothes today for an appointment. I needed to feel like a real person and not just a sweaty yoga teacher. Tom’s suede wedges, H&M gray jeans, black t-shirt, Target scarf, white sunglasses.
