A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
Last week the miles went down, and so did my running time (yay PR), so as I came into Week 4, with its increase of miles (and temps here in the Metro NYC area), I wasn't sure how it would go given my long run struggle on Week 2. Good planning, and getting out early... Continue Reading →
In my post on Week 2's training you may remember that I did not have a really good long run (9 miles) but I accepted and owned it. Even that early in the training process there will be ups and downs, and Week 3 we are up, or should I say down because on Thursday... Continue Reading →
So entering the second week of marathon training, it did not go as well as my first. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I do not like running in the heat and last week it was extremely hot and humid on the East Coast, but it was ok, until my long run. I went into... Continue Reading →
On Monday I began my training for the Philadelphia Marathon. I sort of look at it as my New Year, I set intentions, make a plan and on the start of training day I find myself making personal changes (hopefully for the better) to my daily life. I have been trying for at least one... 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 →

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 →
Last week was my first week of yoga teacher training (YTT) - and it has already been such an experience, which isn't really shocking in theory, but no matter how many times you hear that it will be, its hard to imagine until you're in it (and of course that goes for most things in...

Tonight I begin my 200 hour yoga teacher training. I am looking forward to this journey and sharing it with you here and I hope you will follow along too. But this blog won't be just about yoga, I am also a runner and in the middle of training for my next Half-Marathon, The More-Fitness... Continue Reading →
