How P90X will improve my Yoga practice

How P90X will improve my Yoga practice
My husband and I are now on day 15 of P90X.  Keeping consistent has been fairly easy and I’m proud I’ve only missed a fifteen minute abdominal session to teach a yoga class.  My husband traveled to Puerto Rico for work and did push- ups and core work in his room and although not the... Read more »

Is Yoga to Blame for Injuries?

Is Yoga to Blame for Injuries?
I’ve silently been following the recent NYT article  ”How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body” and  I’ve read the smart and thought provoking responses.  All the while I’ve been nursing a sore knee and frustrated from achy hips wondering where I stand on this issue.  Yogis get injured, but that doesn’t keep us from yoga. When my parents ran the marathon... Read more »

Vita Coco Water Giveaway

Vita Coco Water Giveaway
I’ve always been a water drinker.  Soda has never really been my thing; wine is enough of a guilty liquid for me.  Then I discovered coconut water and fell head over heels in love with its taste and health benefits.  Years ago, I remember trying my sister-in-laws and turning my nose at the taste.  I...

Make Your Own Monday: Legwarmers

Make Your Own Monday: Legwarmers
The verdict on my feelings about the 80′s creeping its way back into our wardrobe is not in yet.  I can handle, and maybe enjoy, the off the shoulder shirts and leggings, but draw the line at neon and big hair.  Legwarmers are one of those trends that are very practical.  My daughter’s skinny body and long legs...

I Survived Thanksgiving Weekend

I love that my first born is a Thanksgiving baby. I love to host the holiday in our home. This year I... Read more »

Proud of My Chess Club Dropout

Proud of My Chess Club Dropout
When my analytical kindergartener heard Chess Club was being offered as an after school activity; it was all he could talk about for weeks.  I eagerly signed him up because chess is more than a game; it is a way of thinking strategically.  He did miss the first class because it was Rosh Hashanah and...

Tula Yoga Studio Now Open in Logan Square

Tula Yoga Studio Now Open in Logan Square
Logan Square is an area I’ve explored very little.  Besides some music years ago at the now closed Boulevard Cafe and an indoor Farmer’s Market at an ornate theatre last year I haven’t had much reason to head west. Now I do.  Tula Yoga opened a week ago near Milwaukee and California in Logan Square. ... Read more »

My Yoga Breathing Helps My Child Sleep

My Yoga Breathing Helps My Child Sleep
Lately my daughter has insisted she won’t go to sleep unless I lie in bed with her.  I try to encourage her to sleep by herself; both for her independence and by the time I get her to bed, I’m itching for space and some “me” time. She screams and cries “mamamamamamamom” so many times I... Read more »
