Teacher Training I had so much fun at my first Yoga Sculpt class with Sunny over a week ago and was no longer afraid of taking the class, I decided to check out another one of her Yoga Sculpt classes tonight after work. This time, I brought my husband with me. We decided to get […]
Teacher Training If I had to choose one yoga posture I love and hate equally, it would be Camel, Ustrasana. Camel is the deepest backbend in both the Hot Power Fusion and Bikram Yoga sequence. I love how this posture stretches my entire neck and spine, especially my lower back. I hate how it can […]
Teacher Training Our Group Session tonight was focused on the seven major chakras. In yoga teacher training so far, we’ve learned all about the physical aspects of yoga by studying each of the postures in the Hot Power Fusion sequence. We’ve learned both the English and Sanskrit name, how to physically do each of the postures, […]
Teacher Training Sanskrit verse from Bhagavad Gita Sundays are my favorite day of the week for our yoga teacher training group sessions. I’m usually the most rested for our Sunday group session because I don’t have to work on the weekends. I get to dedicate most of my weekend to yoga and yoga teacher training. Saturdays […]
Teacher Training I was so excited when I found out Jordan was teaching the 10am Yin Yoga class this morning at Bikram Yoga Everett. I met Jordan in the first Bikram Yoga class I ever took at Bikram Yoga Everett back in December. She was the photographer for the class during the studio’s holiday party. […]
Teacher Training Ever have moments, hours or days where no matter what you do, you can’t seem to focus on what you’re suppose to be doing? I, for the life of me, could not focus on myself in my Hot Power Fusion class last night. Yoga requires you to shift the focus onto yourself and […]
Teacher Training Tonight was my best Hot Power Fusion class yet. First of all, I snagged a sweet spot in class. I walked into the studio and set up my mat in the front row, in the right hand corner. I didn’t even consider setting up in the back row. Class tonight wasn’t super crowded […]
Studio Review For my first studio review, I figured it would be appropriate to review my current, home studio, Sealevel Hot Yoga. According to their website, Sealevel Hot Yoga is Seattle’s original hot yoga studio, operating since 1996 under the name Bikram Yoga Seattle (and prior to that Yoga College of India.) Despite the fact […]
Intentions Each week for my classes, I put together a new playlist and a new intention. Not only does this keep class fresh for my students, but keeps me present for the classes I teach. I always go with an intention and playlist that speaks to me for that week, depending on whatever may be […]
Recipes Bikram Yoga makes me hungry. While everyone is lost in their own open-eyed mediation during class, I’m always thinking about what I want to eat after class. There’s something about good food that really helps motivate me during my hardest Bikram Yoga classes. Hey, whatever gets you through the 90 minutes, right? This morning […]

Inspiration This inspirational quote not only rings true for some of the best (and hardest) hikes I’ve been on, but for what is going in my life right now. Life has been especially crazy for me over the last couple of weeks. I made the decision to follow my passion to teach yoga and grow […]
Intentions Ferris Bueller said it best, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” This has been a reoccurring theme in my life over the last few months. Professionally, I’ve had some pretty big, back-to-back projects at work I’ve had to tackle. Personally, I decided […]
Stories I’ve got to be honest. My life has not been awesome lately. Despite what you see on Instagram, my life has downright sucked over the last few months. I’ve been living in a yoga and work bubble. I wake up at 5:15am, go to yoga, go to work, stop by the grocery store, come […]
