New Teaching Opportunities

Happy weekend! It’s a beautiful day here in Charlotte. I kicked it off with an early morning yoga practice, Starbucks and a trip to the farmer’s market to stock up on veggies. I love summer Saturdays!

We were out late last night so I didn’t get a chance to update so here is the scoop on my Friday.

I had a lunch meeting at Flex + Fit. It’s a new gym opening in uptown Charlotte with a very cool concept. It’s totally class based – culinary classes, a hot yoga studio, a group ex room and a big spin space with a big projector screen. The reason for my meeting? I’m going to be teaching there! (Yes, I know…how can I possibly add more to my jam-packed schedule? It will all work out…breathe… :))

The space looks amazing. The yoga studio is beautiful! I’ll be teaching hot vinyasa, yoga for athletes and buff yoga (yoga with weights). I’m so excited to get started – they are opening in just a couple weeks. I think it will be fun to teach some new class formats.

I stopped by Berrybrook Farm to pick up lunch on my way back to the office. One of my favorite sandwiches in Charlotte – chickenless chicken salad. Organic apple on the side (I swear, they taste 1,000x better than conventional).

And a kombucha for a Friday treat. It’s a treat because they are $4 a pop! On par with a Starbucks stop!

We had a cocktail party to attend last night for Brandon’s friend Anna who is getting married today.

Brandon and I grabbed a glass of wine and food at Dolcetto before the party since it didn’t begin until 9 p.m.

We went with the Taste of Dolcetto that came with bruschetta, a trio of hummus and pita and cheese, crackers and fruit.

I love snacking plates like this. It was a lovely evening to sit outside.

The cocktail party was so nice and it was great to catch up with friends that we don’t see often.  Here is Brandon with the glowing bride-to-be!

I love wedding festivities!

And then I went with this guy and a some friends for late night pizza. Where I may or may not have had a couple slices of pepperoni and mushroom pizza! 😉

Off to enjoy this day! Can’t wait for the wedding tonight!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
