It's been quite a while since my last entry, and for probably good reasons--at least, that's what I keep telling myself. #justification So let's take a quick journey from September, shalth we? (I'm aware this is not a word, thank you!) I was a few months into a relationship in that post, and with the … Continue reading I do what I want!

Happiness all over
There are endless amounts of movies, books, studies, workshops, and the like that delve into what happiness really is, and why humans are seeking it. And I've been eating them up. It began when I watched a documentary called Happy, focused on what makes a variety of people happy all over the world, ranging from high-power … Continue reading Happiness all over
Build or Break: What do you choose?
Hello again! It's been much longer than I like between blogs, but its a manifestation of a greater issue I've been dealing with in the last few months: taking care of myself. I'm an overly sacrificial person. It's true. Putting others in front of myself comes naturally, but I don't do it in a healthy … Continue reading Build or Break: What do you choose?

AJNA--Listen to your inner instruction. You are all the answers. My Lululemon mat has this quote at the top, always reminding me of the true goal of yoga; not to become a new person, per se, but to return to who I was created to be!

I won't pretend I've been a model yogi in this week. My reactivity flared up, eager to be annoyed by small things and passing comments. I was hurt, agitated, sad, and … Continue reading Stillness

oh, them vices.
What’s your crutch? We all have one. Or twelve. Myself? I have a few. I don’t want to focus this post on any particular addiction. I simply want to acknowledge that when I am anxious, frustrated, hurt, insecure…. I turn to a few things to help me “get over it”. Wait, wait. I thought Jenna is … Continue reading oh, them vices.
Endless Learning (originally written 3/16/2015)
Had another amazing Yogaholics Anonymous class yesterday! The group was enthusiastic, willing and strong! Hope to see more yogis and non-yogis alike at our next meeting. It is always such a pleasure to teach, especially when I'm having a hard week, as I am currently. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago, and I can't … Continue reading Endless Learning (originally written 3/16/2015)
