Wellness Wednesday: My Yoga Home Practice

Yoga Mat

{My yoga mat on retreat in Provence, France – May 2012} It’s no secret how much I love yoga. But lately my yoga practice has been placed on the back burner in terms of workouts. It’s been swimming  running, boot camp and doing as much cardio I could get in. I was working out every [...]

Manduka Recycled Foam unBLOK: My Yoga Practice Game Changer

Manduka Unblok 1

My yoga practice just got a new toy to hangout and play with. When I practice yoga at Tranquil Space I always like to use props. Many times people think using props are for wimps. Au contraire! Props work as an extension to your hands and feet. I didn’t have props for my home practice. [...]

Om Pretty: The Biker Barre Trifecta – Week 3

Biker Barre Trifecta

It has been said that it takes three weeks to make a habit. Well, I can say if you take any of these three teachers at Biker Barre that habit will happen sooner rather than later. The ladies are my initial Biker Barre Trifecta (Katie, Gabriella, and Ingrid). Gabriella is also a yoga teacher, so [...]

Om Pretty: Biker Barre Continues – Week 2

Back to the mat

Sorry for the delay on writing about my second week at Biker Barre. I will say that it has gotten a tad bit easier. It seems like my body is getting used to needing exercise early in the morning again. It is always hard coming back to exercise, especially morning exercise. Years ago I used [...]

Om Pretty: Biker Barre Workout – Week 1

Biker Barre

My good friend and stylist Monica suggested we do something drastic. She suggested we work on getting in shape, working our butt off, and kick start a fitness routine. We knew we needed cardio, a drastic change in diet, and motivation. As much as I love my yoga practice I needed something more. I needed [...]

Om Pretty: Vidazorb Chewable Probiotics

Vidazorb

I’m a supplement junkie. Put me in supplement rehab because I am forever trying new supplements. I do believe you should get your nutrients from food, but a little help goes along way. I started taking probiotics before my trip to Egypt two years ago. I knew they were good for me, but I take [...]

Om Pretty: The Beauty of Yoga Teacher Training

Final Teaching Outfit

By the time you read this I will have finished my final teaching for my 200 hour yoga teacher training certification. It has been a long 3 months getting here. After my first class in 2006 I was hooked. I remember everything was yoga. I was going through crazy transitions in my life – death, [...]

Om Pretty: Yoga For Women by Karin Björkegren

Yoga for Women

I received Yoga For Women by Karin Björkegren last year, but I think it’s a perfect opportunity to review the book for a new year. At this time of year the gym is more crowded, diets are being forged, and yoga classes are on resolution lists. I’m going into my sixth year as a yogi and [...]

Om Pretty: Kathryn Budig’s Aim True Yoga DVD

Kathryn Budig Aim True Yoga

I have never had the pleasure of taking a  Kathryn Budig yoga class or workshop. Sure she comes to DC, but I always am out of town. I have admired her from afar and actually stalk her Facebook page to see where she’s doing her famous handstand. My friend J. Lo (yes I have a [...]

Om Pretty: Sensa Success

Sensa

It’s hard to believe that according to most people summer is over. I understand the Memorial Day to Labor Day concept, but for me if the temperature is higher than 70 degrees – it’s still summer. Which means I am still enjoying all the amazing summer fruit my tummy can hold. But, with school starting [...]
