Not only tummy but heart <3, mind…and CLOSET.
Yes, we hit the Black Friday sales…pics a comin’. More than anything, it’s a good source of outfit inspiration and mind candy. ((She says to justify the purchase of Isabel Marant pants full-price…))
Thanksgiving is also time (even if you’re gearing up to finals!! acckkkk!!) to catch up on [...]
The word “yama” in yoga signifies abstinence. It is one of the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga practice. In fact, it is the first of the eight – followed by niyama, asana and pranayama. The first four seem to be the ones that most yogis know, if not observe. And as we progress up [...]
Must Come Down
However in yoga, we say, “What goes up, must first go down.”

Mary-Louise is 47 damn years old.
Don’t know what her specific exercise regime is [...]

Chances are you’ve heard that from your yoga instructor.
If he or she is good, you hear it over and over and over again during your class!
You may think, “what is it with all this breathing!…Of course, I’m breathing!”

But are you breathing GRACEFULLY and efficiently to give YOU the best possible workout
and result?

Your thoughts are POWERFUL. You know that right?
I love when yogi or spiritual ideology has a scientific backing. Not too many years ago, and again in yoga teacher training, I learned of the work of Masaru Emoto.
From Wikipedia: Masaru Emoto (江本 勝 Emoto Masaru?, born July 22, 1943) is a Japanese author and entrepreneur known for [...]
