A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
The humidity finally dropped on the East Coast mid-week, and I couldn't have asked for it to come at a better time... the start of marathon training. Not that it hasn't been hot, but it does seem manageable, or is it the new drive I am feeling now that I'm "in training." I am using... Continue Reading →
HI! So the summer is now in full swing, and with my Yoga Teacher Training done, I feel like singing "school's out for summer" but I'm not leaving school far behind since I signed up for not 1 but 2 yoga workshops in July (and then there is my Masters degree I must finish, so... Continue Reading →
OK, I know, it's been a few weeks since my last post. I don't have a great excuse, and that's ok. I'm sorry if you missed me but I'm back. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook (which I hope you do), you may know that it was my birthday on Monday. And not... Continue Reading →
Every Monday I have posted about my love of music while running, and in yoga, songs I recommend, and working on playlists, etc. etc. The past Sunday was the More Fitness Shape Women's Half Marathon, and as I was getting ready for bed Saturday night I realized I hadn't finished my list. So I grabbed... Continue Reading →
Good Morning! Just a brief note in follow-up to my most recent Music Monday post. Today on Facebook, More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Women's Half Marathon page posted a share from Fitness Magazine with Spotify playlists, including the "100 Top Workout Songs from Around the World." So I immediately went to my Spotify and followed that playlist... Continue Reading →
Listening to music or not, my songs for the perfect playlist just for fun, and by event. I've covered this so far on Music Monday, but what about how to find, gather and play the music? I am an iPhone user, so I used to use iTunes, It wasn't always best for finding new music,... Continue Reading →
For the past few weeks my Music Monday posts have focused on music for my running, but what about yoga? Much like the debate of running purists who do not think that headphones should be worn during runs, there is a question about playing music in yoga. Me, I want music everywhere, so I love...

While in the midst of my YTT, in addition to my course work and just taking classes at my "home" yoga studio (Devotion Yoga in Hoboken) I will be going out to try other studios, classes and teachers. Last Saturday was my first weekend off, so I took advantage of getting into the city and taking... Continue Reading →
With less than 4 weeks until the More/Fitness/Shape Half, I started working on my playlist yesterday. It's a run in NYC so there will probably be some NY-themed music, but it's an all women's run, so I think I should have some girl band and girl power music. First up, "The Warrior" by Scandal. I've... Continue Reading →
My "running season" starts in 5 weeks with my 1st Half of 2015, More Fitness Shape Women's Half, and while I was on my long training run this weekend it struck me that I have to start my playlist for the Half. Even though I have a great training music mix, I like to create... Continue Reading →
