Read MoreYou know that feeling where all of the ideas and thoughts are swirling in your head and you feel completely overwhelmed? I know that all too well and for a long time I really struggled with trying to remember every little detail...and also being productive.

So today we’re going to talk about it.
Read MoreSo I finally decided that I was going to give yoga another try. I have dabbled in yoga on and off for 15 years. If anyone knows me they know that I am considered “Hollywood” when it comes to doing anything. So I went to my closet and looked over the 35 pairs of yoga pants I have accumulated over the years. NO. None of them will do. I NEED Lulu’s! I marched myself to the store and finally tried on a pair. the woman at the store told me how great I looked! I was in LOVE! So comfy, so chic, so cool! They also made me look 10lbs smaller! BONUS! I was going to be that yoga person. I felt amazing. I got a nice top to match. Not form fitting mind you, just loose fitting T-shirt.

Read MoreHi! my name is Beth. I am a “yogi wannabe”!
Where to begin…. I got into yoga because I wanted to learn how to stretch & recover from some surgery, but little did I know what I was in for. I was looking for something to help me be more flexible and in tune with my body, and I didn’t want to revert to my old “bending down to get the Frito that fell on the floor” routine anymore!
I took my first class at Emerald Yoga with Landen and was taken in hook, line, and sinker (or you can say “cat” “cow” and “corpse”)
Read MoreYesterday was like any other day...
I woke up, did a 3 hour mediation in my Soul Searching Space, took a nice bath, threw on my cute LuLas (you should see this print AND I got matching leggings and a cropped bra top - only $200 for the set!), and sat down with a kombucha and avocado toast on sprouted "bread" and an assortment of raw fruits and veggies. As I started to ponder how I would shine my light for the day, I realized....

Read MoreI think we can all agree that a home yoga studio just isn’t the same as being at Emerald Yoga Studio; we miss our yoga pals, the peaceful and encouraging atmosphere, the time away from the responsibilities of home. But for a few weeks, at least, a home practice is what we’ve got, so let’s set up our personal yoga spaces and try to create some joy from it!

Read MoreWhen I first attended my first yoga class I was very nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t really sure I understood what yoga was/wasn’t. My brain was going a million miles a minute up until the point that I got inside of the studio and set up.
