Sometimes, I just need a moment to dream. So here's a pretty picture of what I hope to someday create in a garden of my own.

A Top I Didn't Know I Needed

Image
So, you know how sometimes you have a favorite thing and you have many of this thing because it's your favorite and you can't imagine that you could want a different version of this thing because you think this thing is already perfect? No? Just me? Well, I'm a die-hard Cashmerette fan, in particular the Springfield top. I have made at least six version of that tank top, maybe more like ten. It's a quick sew for me. I've perfected the fit. I've started hacking it into different iterations. I love it. Sooo....when Helen's Closet asked for testers for a beginner's level tank top, I was happy to help but not terribly enthusiastic about the pattern itself. Because, you see, I had already solved that issue in my closet. Or I thought I had. Y'all. I love this top. It was a sleeper for me. I was unsure if I liked it up to and including putting it on my body to wear for the first time. By the time we got home from a dinner out with friends,...

Inclusive Yoga Props Round 1

Below I've listed some props that I've found helpful in my yoga practice. If you're interested in shopping these items, just click on the image. Blocks My go-to prop is the block. I generally use two thick blocks in my practice for everything from support in pyramid pose to support under my thighs in savasana to help relax my lower back. Strap Straps are great for the stretching portions of my practice, of course. I like the one below for both the longer eight foot length and the snappy design.

Towel I use a yoga towel since I get super sweaty during sun salutation and twists and I want zero chance of slippage. I have the previous iteration of the pattern below and I love it.

Atlanta Mania Recap Part 1

Image
Greetings Dudes and Dudettes, As I promised, I have my recap of my experience at the Atlanta Mania below. First off, I want to thank my friend Lisa for experiencing this with me. I'm so glad we did this together. Ok. I'm going to break it down by day. Wednesday: I picked Lisa up from her work and we drove over that evening. We stopped for a quick dinner and didn't have too too much traffic or construction. We did arrive fairly late, but that's a time change for you. We checked in to the conference hotel, the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead, and settled in. Cover of the manual for our certification. Thursday: We had both signed up for the Aquatic Barre certification on Thursday. Our instructor had emailed and texted to say she'd had some bad travel luck and our training wouldn't start till 9:30, instead of 9am. Billie Wartenberg was our instructor and she was fabulous. We went over quite a lot of anatomy and posture stuff in the lecture portion of the d...
