Wow, what a journey the last couple of weeks have been. We have finally completed our first Virtual Teleconference! As a member of the YogaHub team, I am surprised that we were all able to pull it off in such a short time frame, and the response has been overwhelming from everyone who was involved (participants, speakers, etc).

I consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to computers. I have never been trained in any sort of IT for computers, but I have grown up around them. Well, a laptop that I bought a couple of years ago had Vista on it. At first, I thought it was a pretty decent operating system until I started to dive deeper into the machine while trying to set up my wireless connection.

So I am somewhat of a tech junkie. Mp3 players, cameras, camcorders – I keep tabs on all of them. With all of the technology emerging, none has made the impact that Smartphones have. I predict that by the end of 2010, most people’s phones will be “smart.” (more…)

Yes, we all have stress in our lives. Whether it is small or large, it affects the body in the same way. It raises our blood pressure, causing us to become very irritated – and I can even go so far as to say that a vein will look like it’s about to explode.
Stress is not fun. Nor is it attractive. (more…)

So, this past week I have been sick. Not deathly ill, mind you, but enough to put me out of commission for a couple of days and out of the gym for the last 10 days or so. I don’t really like running as it is, and trying to run when I’m sick is just a miserable experience.
I was feeling better on Friday, so I could make it out for youth group and was able to see a very interesting video. It’s so relevant to today’s society, where everyone is so busy and rushing to get to their next appointment. How many things do we miss in this life because of our schedules? (more…)

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving last week.
My weekend was a kind of nice, as I had four days off to relax. What I enjoyed this long weekend was that, first of all, I finished reading a book called “The Hundred Secret Senses” by Amy Tan, who also wrote the “Joy Luck Club” book that was adapted to a film in 1993. (more…)

Well, I had quite a rough weekend. Hung over does not begin to describe the aftermath of Saturday night.
I know, I know. It doesn’t happen often but hey…nothing I can do about it now. With my head pounding on Sunday, I wondered if there was any way to speed my recovery. I drank a ton of water, tried in vain to eat, and spent hours in the shower, practically sleeping as the water fell over me. In the end I was fine and recovered fully for Monday.
I was curious though, and found this video with Tara Stiles about Yoga for Hangovers…interesting. But I sincerely hope I never have to employ this routine – ever.

I have a very old pair of athletic shoes that are decently worn out. The padding on them is pretty minimal after so many years of usage, but they are still comfortable. Nothing compares to an old reliable pair of shoes.
The other day, I went to the local convenience store and picked up some Dr. Scholl’s foot padding to help with the comfort. I put them in my shoes that night so that I wouldn’t forget in the morning. (more…)

So, my weekend was pretty packed with events. I had youth group as usual on Friday night since I’m a counselor. Saturday, the craziness began.
I worked out with a friend, and then headed over to church to help out another friend with a school photo project. We had taken 35 shots of the 36 non-digital roll, and we were stuck on what to do for the last one. I have a penchant for trying to jump on top of or over things, so I took a look at a car parked next to the church. I said, “I can jump over it.” “No way,” he said. “Wanna bet?” I smiled. So, he moved his car next to the curb, and I took two practice jumps just in front of the car to make sure I could clear it. Obviously, there was no guarantee that nothing bad would happen, but what the heck, right? Moment of truth. I took about 20 steps back, and then off I went, over the car! (I hope to have a video of this soon, but for now, I will just wait to see how the developed picture turns out.) After that, I went to practice volleyball with some of the youth kids before the church-wide Thanksgiving dinner that night. (more…)

I stumbled upon these inventive and funny Yoga/fitness advertisements the other day. I especially like the business card with the two holes for “legs” and the Yoga Zone signs. (more…)
