Bali adventures have begun!

, ,

I have made it to Bali!  After the longest flight of my life; Chicago to NYC, 7 hour layover, NYC to Singapore, with a stop to refuel in Frankfurt, then once in Singapore I made a mad dash to catch my flight to Bali, then a hour long car ride... I finally made it to Jiwa Damai.   I will be in Bali for at least a month, doing my second facilitator shadowing for Sadhana Yoga School.  Once I have completed the training, hopefully I will get to enjoy a little more of my time in this beautiful country, doing a little surfing, and adventuring. :)  Stay tuned for more photos & updates!

This was the first person I saw upon landing in Bali... he's giving the thumbs up. :) I think that's a good sign...

One of the many amazing statues that you will see upon arriving into Bali.

A beautiful path, through the lovely resort Jiwa Damai...

It was a busy weekend in Illinois on the Bad Ash Yoga Tour... Thank you to Chuck & BE Yoga in Decatur for having myself & fellow instructor Jolene Wright for our ALIGN with BALANCE workshop on Friday evening... just a little taste of BALANCE Yoga Retreat Costa Rica.

Saturday morning was round 2 for Yoga & the Voice in Bloomington, IL at Tonya Keach Yoga & Wellness.  What an incredible class!  I honestly love all of my classes, but Saturday morning's energy was beyond words.  Such an amazing group of students, powerful space & stellar vibe.  Thank you for having me Tonya! (Pictured above Tonya Keach & Bad Ash)

Now I'm back in my hometown of Canton, IL & I'm teaching classes Monday through Friday for the next two weeks downtown on the square.  They are donation based classes, so pay what you can, all levels & all bodies welcome. :)

Indiana to Illinois... the tour continues!

Thank you so much to Santosha School for having me lead Yoga & Your Voice vinyasa flow class on Wednesday evening, and thanks to the 8 students in attendance.  It was a new sequence for me & it was fun to test it out on such a great group.

Me pictured with the super cute & awesome Jillian Deam... it was her first yoga class & I was psyched to be her teacher... If you are from Indy maybe you recognize her from FOX 59. :) Thanks for coming to class girl!

Now I'm in Illinois, making a brief stop in Sullivan, IL, where I taught a flow class this morning for Operation Barefoot Freedom Yoga... it was a last minute addition to the Bad Ash Yoga Tour, and I'm honored to have been asked.

Tonight I join instructor Jolene Wright at Be Yoga in Decatur, IL for an ALIGN with BALANCE workshop, focusing on meditation, pranayama (breath work) & yoga nidra. If you are in or around the area, don't stop yourself from coming and getting blissed out!!!


Hello Richmond! ... Good bye Hair?

I've been playing with the idea of cutting my hair for a while now... and today was the day. After a week of my hair being a pain in my ass while surfing, and also taking into consideration my next few months of extensive travel... a little less hair would do a girl some good. There were plenty of people advising against this small little change... that it made me want to do it even more.  And of course... if you have long beautiful hair, if you decide to chop it, then you should give it away. Se la vie 10 inches & hello fresh, curly and light. Here ya go Locks of Love :) 

Why does cutting one's hair make you feel renewed in a way?  It doesn't really matter if I know the answer, because I'm liking the feel and the look! Thanks to Ruth at Images on Main Street for taking me right when I walked in the door, loving my new locks! Also, a huge THANK YOU to my friend Sara who understood upon my arrival at her house in Richmond that I was serious about needing to cut my hair immediately!

 

Before Mermaid Hair... 

 

And there it goes... 

 

Thank you Ruth & Images Main Street studio in Richmond!
