YBC 30 Day Yoga Tone Up Program

April 30, 2015

Hi friends! We're back with another monthly program and I hope you'll join in cuz this will be a good one!

So, here's the thing. Hmm, how do I say this? Ok I'll just come right out and say it: I really don't subscribe to the idea that we have to be a certain way before summer comes around. You know those memes that float around that have "motivational" quotes like 'summer bodies are made in the winter'? I hate that stuff. Because that's not motivation to me. They actually make me feel really guilty, usually because I'm curled up on the couch under a pile of blankets watching my eighth episode of Grey's Anatomy and, well, not at the gym.

Pin now, practice later with a stability ball!

3 Ways to Use a Stability Ball

Recently, I shared that I have some spring goals I'd like to work toward. Unfortunately, with last weekend's ankle sprain, I felt like I had taken a giant step back. I mean, how am I supposed to work toward any goals if I physically can barely move?

On the other hand, one of my goals is to manage my stress better and I suppose an injury is a good way to slow the heck down and learn to let go.

In the Cart: Proteins and Superfoods

Are you guys snackers or do you eat big meals throughout the day? What about post workout/yoga sessions? I've always been a big meal eater. I still kind of am, I guess. I have four pretty decent sized meals throughout the day and a mid afternoon snack. The GAPS diet makes it tough to just grab something and go, so I'm looking forward to the day (maybe six months from now or so) when I can just grab a snack for after my gym or yoga sessions. Until then, I kind of have to stick to home cooked foods for the most part - meh.

Recently, I've been off the mat and out of the gym due to my sprained ankle which is always hard for someone like me who is a go-go-go kind of person. I just don't like sitting around the house. In fact, before yesterday, I literally hadn't left my house in three days and was starting to feel like I was going crazy. Being injured is more painful mentally than it is physically for me!

Costa Rica Yoga and Adventure Retreat Recap

April 28, 2015

PSA- So many exciting things on the horizon for us here at YBC but most of them are top secret for now! I can tell you that we are putting together the finishing touches to our subscription boxes and believe me, if you haven't ordered yours yet, you're gonna want to get in on it while you can! I am so excited about the brands we have partnered with and know that if you love the natural beauty, health and wellness industries, you are going to love this box!

Ah! Can't believe we were just in beautiful Costa Rica just a week ago! Such incredible people, weather, food, and things to do! I had a wonderful time and I think the retreat participants did as well! We started our week off in the jungle and visited La Fortuna for a zipline tour and a horseback ride at the base of the Arenal Volcano.

Weekend in New York

April 27, 2015

PSA: Just a heads up that the YBC Mantra Subscription Boxes are still selling and are going quickly! Get yours now while you can! Also, if you've signed up for tomorrow's arm balance workshop in Hartford, CT, it's been cancelled due to injury (check your email).

Well hello from my couch. If you've been following along on instagram, you know I had an eventful weekend. I went into New York City for a number of fun yoga related events, psyched for a chance to really start working on my spring goals, one of which is to deepen my personal practice. But, as we know, the best laid plans...
