A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
Happy October (aka, spooky season, aka my favorite time of year)! It’s Spooky Season! This year has seen changes and transformations like no other, and we should not discount the effect the seasonal change has on us, recognizing that the compounding of it all right now could feel very overwhelming. If you know me outside... Continue Reading →
Yes, I’ve seen all the posts and memes about the new WFH uniform of yoga pants. Before this quarantine, I also saw all the posts about the dream of living in yoga pants/leggings. Well, as a full time yoga teacher I can say this isn’t my dream. That is my work uniform. Sure some are... Continue Reading →
A long time ago, in a world that seems so far away now, I started changing up my jewelry from gold to silver, well really silver everything not just jewelry - and someone very close to me (like someone who I am not socially distancing from, sorry to rat you out, Hon) suggested to me...

And when a headline is the understatement of the decade .... Hey Friends! I know, it's been what seems like a lifetime since I have written here. And it's not like I haven't been planning on getting back to this. I've had many changes since I last wrote. This past January, I did a vision... Continue Reading →
Monday was like the Super Bowl for runners - it was the Boston Marathon. The race is always a show of amazing will and determination - just qualifying for the race is an aspiration goal of many (me, me, me!). But this past Monday was beyond what could be considered "adverse conditions." Freezing cold, rain,... Continue Reading →
So back in the day I had a book blog called BaileysandBooks (and no it had nothing to do with Irish Baileys, but to a childhood tradition of going to Bailey's Ice Cream in Boston following an afternoon at Barnes & Noble), and while trying to increase my writing and add more lifestyle to this...

Staying hydrated is one of the key components to a healthy life, right? And when you go to any yoga, pilates, spin, HIIT (you get the idea) class bringing your water bottle is as important as that extra hair tie around your wrist, right? Do you grab any plastic/giveaway bottle in your cabinet, or do... Continue Reading →
When I first started this blog, it was while I was in Yoga Teacher Training, my 200 hour (now I'm 2/3s of the way done toward my 500 hour), and I wanted to write about that journey, and also my running which at the time I was doing more and more of as well. Now... Continue Reading →
My 2018 racing is off to a good start, even if I have only run 2 races. In January I completed a Half Marathon that I admittedly did not train for - and sub-2ed it. Then last week I ran a 5K in the hilly Washington Heights, also with a time I was happy with... Continue Reading →
Retreat. It often has a negative connotation: an escape, running away, those who are not "strong enough" do not continue on. In our society of go-go-go, we may wear our packed schedules and tired bodies as badges of honor. We believe we are so valued, so important, that we need to be in constant contact,...
