This weekend marked the end of another year of teacher training at Hot Power Yoga Center and with it, another group of beautiful souls sent out into the world to share their yoga knowledge, passion, & gifts with others!

Reflecting on another group, I realize being a contributing part of this process is one of my absolute favorite things to do! I love watching the growth, development, and lightbulb moments throughout the training. They learn from me and I learn so much from them, enabling me to become a better educator and human.

Thank you all for another great year and for letting me be a big part of your journey! 🙏 I know you will all do great things
♥️

P.S. We have another group joining us in September, if you have questions about it, just reach out. 😉

✨ What is restorative yoga? ✨

If you're not terribly familiar with this lovely practice, I've outlined some of the main elements here for you in these slides 👍

Just like most things, you'll probably get some different answers from different people, but here are what I feel are the basic things to know:
⚪ Restorative yoga is a gentle and restful practice. We use a whole bunch of props (bolsters, pillows, blankets, & blocks) & explore ways to make our bodies feel supported
⚪ Generally, most (but not all) postures are low to the ground to take some of the effort out of the practice
⚪ Hold times can vary, but we tend to spend extra time in poses & compete fewer shapes than other styles of yoga in order to give the body space to soften in each pose
⚪ All in all, it's a grounding practice that allows us to rest & restore and gives us room to do some much needed slowing down

If you're interested in getting the full experience, join me and my friend for our restorative workshop with aromatherapy & hands on assists happening next week at Hot Power Yoga Center 😁

New Years Meal 2023 🍽️

Every NYE, Rob and I host a small gathering and cook a fancy 5 course meal with wine pairings for a few friends (and ourselves, of course). 😉

We have a ton of fun with it and really enjoy planning, shopping, trying new techniques, cooking with interesting ingredients, and mostly pretending that we could be on a cooking show or have a Michelin star restaurant. This year, Rob even made a menu that he printed out for the table to make it feel more official(ish)! 🧑‍🍳
