On my list of studios to visit was CorePower Yoga. I first heard about this mega studio on the Oakley Women’s Summit from Lacey Calvert. She is an instructor and also helps train new teachers too! It was fate that her 8:30 AM CorePower Yoga Sculpt: Heated Power Yoga with Weights in Costa Mesa fit [...]

Yesterday was one of the coldest days in Boston that I can remember in a long time. The past couple years, for some reason, I’ve been out of town when the temperatures felt below zero. This called for wearing my ski jacket to work! I was sent a pair of Jaybird earbuds which are Bluetooth [...]

Timberland was a major sponsor for this year’s event, hosting hikes, meditation sessions and recycling efforts and more. I was excited to be invited but with a wedding on Saturday could not stay the [...]

  I have found a new love for Yoga.  In my teens and early twenties, I focused on cardio.  It burned the most calories and I didn’t like wasting time.  Then I discovered Pilates! Perhaps this would get rid of my soccer thighs, I thought!  When that failed, I turned to strength training.  While it helped me [...]

I love Yoga.  It is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to practice.  I try to take a yoga class at least once a week.  However, I am not certified in yoga, nor do I plan on getting certified (as of now).  I enjoy learning, listening and the calming side effects I get from [...]
