OMG people! I just received the most comfortable flip flop known to man....err...woman. Okay so I'm sure by now you know of the Otomix catalog, they sell fitness clothing and other body building type shoes and accessories.... Well to tell the truth.

so I'm laying ON MY BACK at the ladies gym teaching my ball class this morning. We're doing something crazy like feet up on the ball and hips lifting up and down..butt squeezes or something similarly obnoxious and ridiculous ...when I look up to this

having been a superstitious idiot for the last 3 years..I avoided taking ANY thing in pill form for fear it was making my hives worse. I think in some cases it was true..but for the most part I apparently had hives no matter what I put in my mouth.Fa

my 4:45pm yoga/pilates/tai chi class last night was dismal. Most likely a factor of Good Friday. I had only 2 people come in. It was especially nice to have this older Indian woman attend class, get all hot and bothered half way through, sit down o

A few weeks ago one of the spin instructors at the new gym stayed after her class and took my yoga class. I finished up that morning with a quick little tai-chi-esque cooldown that involved:sinking the chi (inhale arms up over head and create a ba

well so much for the g'damned pared down schedule idea..today I have 4 classes to teach. (at least yesterday  I gave notice and quit the classes at the pink carpeted palace that is the ladies gym I've been teaching at) Gotta cover the 10:30 yoga

ah. what a weekend. the yoga training went off without a hitch despite one of my travel companion's preminitions that something terrible was going to happen on our journey home Sunday March 19th. It wasn't until we were sitting in the airport last ni

I hired two top notch instructors today for the new gym. One has the highest numbers for her classes at the fancy schmancy Lifetime gym (don't get me started..that was the gym I left my "career" job for) and the other is one of the *very* best and br

it's tuesday already? this week is such a bust. I'm on an abbreviated schedule because Thursday I'm flying to Dallas for a 3 day yogafit training at the mind/body fitness conference. I'm doing the seniors yogafit workshop on Friday and retraining Lev

well I off for a well deserved massage and facial at the Urban Retreat day spa. Okay so it wasn't *exactly* all my idea or even on my radar earlier this week, but a friend didn't want to go alone. ...and when she called me on Wednesday to invite me

through this hellish week. Luckily I had a no show for my ball class at the ladies gym this morning..I half expected that to happen. The 2 regulars told me last week they were out of town and they are usually the only ones in class. Nice for them, th

entirely too much bad food was consumed. I mean...you just shouldn't eat out at restaurants EVERY day for gawd's sake. But it was good. And yummy. And now I feel like a bloated whale. No matter. I've got to build up some strength for this hell week o

so Kipper and I just got back from a trip to Petco. The rabbit was out of carefresh litter for his litterbox and although I despise going there, it's a lot closer than Petsmart. When we got to the checkout there is this woman in front of us with abo

this week has been crazy. yesterday I subbed the 5am class and then had to fill in for 2 yoga classes later in the morning. The first one was at the church at 9:30 where the director was filling in for the original teacher but then the director got

or is it yang with the yin? Oh nevermind..I met a guy named "Won" at the studio cycle training 3 weeks ago. Gave him my card and he came by the gym (unfortunately I wasn't there that day to show him around) and then he called me because he

I just noticed our China Berry tree is budding in the backyard. wow. It's early this year. Next week is also spring break for the local school systems and that too seems early. Entirely too early. Especially because every instructor known to man who
