Relaxing Into Meditation
I used to be great at setting aside a portion of each day to breathe, do yoga or meditate. Then business life with 2 kids snuck up on me and my meditation routine has not been regular. I’ve been more stressed and more anxious lately, so I’ve decided it’s time to get back into my meditation routine. The problem is, … Read More
Recovery
You don’t realize how lethargic you’ve been all winter until summer hits, the bikes are out, soccer starts & you get motivated to go for a run. As awesome as the exercise induced dopamine rush feels, the muscles can sometimes tell a different story.

Staying Grounded
A few weekends ago, as some of you might know, Rachel and I were part of The Health Shows in Calgary. We always have fun at shows looking around at the booths, meeting other vendors and being surrounded by like-minded, small business entrepreneurs. This show was totally awesome for that. Not only did we get a sweet deal on coconut … Read More

There are many lessons that we can learn on the mat through refining poses that transfer into us refining ways that we relate to ourselves and to others. Follow me on … Read More
Resolutions
the good the bad and my new approach January 1st comes and instead of people asking “How About That Weather”, everyone is asking “what’s your new year’s resolution?” It’s funny because everyone knows that, typically, resolutions last 2 months at best and then we fall back into our regular habits. So what’s the point of setting them anyway? Taking the … Read More
Goodbye Part Girl
I went from a party girl to a mom. Just like that… There didn’t seem to be an in between. I never knew who I was or what I wanted out of this life before I had my sons. I knew I wanted to have fun and experience life but instead, I drank and stayed up until all hours of the … Read More
