Just got back from the movies and now I'm having a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon. Yesterday I did Ali MacGraw's Mind & Body. I really like the music in that one... a lot of it is taken from Dead Can Dance's "Into the Labrynth". Interesting choice for a yoga DVD but it works! Janie: I've...

Yesterday I did Shiva Rea's beginner flow sequences 1-3 for a nice relaxing practice. I picked up my car and it looks great! In addition to fixing the back, they also fixed some stone chips I had on my hood which really annoyed me. That was a nice bonus!:D It's starting to snow here and we...

Hi Alisha, If you just click on my name and select "visit Elle_p's homepage" it will take you there. I'm pretty new to the whole blogging scene but it gives me a chance to share what I know through my own practice and experience. Feel free to leave me a comment!:)

Hi Everyone! Great news! My car is fixed so I'm going to try and pick it up this afternoon.:) There was $6000.00 in damage but the guy at Honda said it's as good as new. I've been doing Shiva Rea's Daily Energy for the last couple of weeks. I have been mixing and matching my own practices...

I wrote about this same topic on my yoga blog that I started in January. :) I started a 30 day challenge to help me get back into a daily practice. Once I completed that, I extended it to 60 days which I am currently doing. I'm planning on extending to 90 days next. :) I have had many ups...

I think this has always been a problem, but the internet wasn't as popular back then so there wasn't access to all the pro ana and mia forums. There have always been girls struggling with eating disorders, you just didn't hear about it. Back then, a lot of girls got their "thinspiration" from...

I think it's good to just change things up once in a while. If you have been doing heavy weight workouts, try switching to low weights and high reps and see what that does for you. Keep track of what you are eating by keeping a food journal and maybe try and revamp your diet a little. I hit a...

Hi All, I'm feeling pretty lucky since i don't seem to have suffered whiplash, only some minor muscle soreness in my neck and upper back. I've been able to do yoga with no problems so far. My Valentine's day was very sweet and low-key: ordered in chinese food for dinner and watched some DVD's...

I have been in workout slumps before and the hardest part was to just get started again. One you get the "first" workout out of the way it will get easier. So, I would recommend you choose a workout you really enjoy or one that's not super tough and start with that. Or just get out for a nice...

On Wednesday morning on my way to work, a pick-up truck rear-ended my car while I was stopped in traffic.:( I was pretty shaken up. The back end of my car is pretty mashed up so I have a rental until it's fixed. I've been a little sore so i haven't done anything for the last few days but i'm...

I just started The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I haven't gotten very far yet but I really liked the movies. I got a Sony Ereader for Christmas and read the Hunger Games Trilogy on it within a week. These books are more for teen/young adults but I really enjoyed them. I read the Outlander...

ITA Morningstar. I don't know why Dr. Phil is still on the air.

Hi Everyone, Yesterday I did Ali MacGraw's Yoga Mind & Body. My mind was very distracted for some reason but that happens sometimes. So it looks like there isn't enough interest in the office Bootcamp. Go figure. On the plus side, a lot of it was similar to Cathe and I have those available to...

Honestly, I would not recommend learning to teach through a DVD. If I was to take a Zumba class, I would expect that the instructor would be properly trained to teach it. Would you want to take a yoga class from an instructor who learned from a DVD? Would you pay the same money to someone who...

Hi Jennifer, I kind of thought this check-in fizzled out but i'm glad to hear you are almost at your goal! congrats on all of your hard work!:) I'm still keeping up with my yoga and weight watchers. Yesterday I got my butt kicked in a free Boot Camp class at my office. It was really fun so I...

So yesterday my office had a free trial Boot Camp class after work and boy did we get our a$$'s kicked!:eek: It was a great workout so I'm hoping this is something they will offer regularly. The instructor was really good and those of us who showed up had a great time. It's funny, because so...

I would recommend anything by Shiva Rea. :)

Happy Monday! It is a cold one here! The temperature is something crazy like -26° with the wind chill.:eek: We are also supposed to get a snowstorm tomorrow evening with up to 30cm of snow. Yesterday I dusted off my Ali McGraw Yoga Mind & Body DVD. This DVD has stood the test of time. I...

Not sure about this Gaiam Ayurveda DVD but Yoga is a huge part of my life and I have learned a lot about ayurveda over the years. It's quite complex, so the DVD would probably be a basic overview of ayurveda; kind of like a beginner yoga DVD doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what yoga...

Hi Everyone, I have been pretty busy at work but still managing to keep up with my daily yoga. I've been using Shiva Rea Beginner, Yogini, and Daily Energy in addition to my own stuff. I'm planning on adding in some new stuff for February which is just around the corner. I mark all of my...
