LOLLAPALOOZA PLAYLIST & concert memories

 So with Lollapalooza coming up this weekend (and since I won't be there this weekend..wahh) I thought it would be fun to have a LollaPalooza themed playlist and share a preview of the 2012 lineup!




Link to Spotify Lollapalooza Playlist


 "Choose not a life of imitation." Such a great line from one my favorite RHCP songs! (I actually didn't feature it on this playlist specifically..they're so many RHCP songs to choose from) I'd definitely have to agree that those are some "lyrics to live by."

I love pretty much all of these bands and seeing this year's lineup actually reminds me of some of the concerts I've been to back home in California...brings back some great memories of great times spent with some of my best friends. It's amazing how music can bring people together..how you can literally feel the energy of the crowd...how a song that you love so much can completely lift you up and have you jumping up and down in the air (or even motivate you to push that much harder in your own daily workout!).

San Diego Street Scene 2006 w/ my sister Ria, our friend Kris & my BFFF Glen (saw Kanye West, Bloc Party, Snoop Dogg)
Girl Talk at the Grove in Anaheim 2009 w/ the "U R Club" w/ Glen, Ana & Cristelle ( we had to bring the most amount of recycled cans to get VIP passes)
 COACHELLA 2009 hands down...the best concert I've been to in my life!!!

Yoga Schedule 7/8/12 -7/15/12, "Keep Calm & Party On," What's in my Yogi Bag

Yoga Class Schedule
Tuesday 7/10/12
Wednesday 7/11/12
Friday 7/13/12
Saturday 7/14/12
Sunday 7/15/12

  • COMPLIMENTARY Vinyasa Yoga Class at Lululemon 900 N Michigan Ave. 11AM-12PM
  •  TruHarmony Yoga is "Studio of the Month" at Lululemon & I'll be teaching!!!

2nd Edition of "What's in my Yogi Bag"
I LOVE my new "Surf 'n' Turf" Tote in beachy floral dune print.

It's the perfect bag for the summer that fits all my yogi essentials but also is water resistant so it's just what I need when taking it to the beach. The tote also has an interior removable bag, which comes in handy if you want to separate your wet clothes, towels, etc. 

What's Inside?
A summer essential! It's hydrating and light, so it doesn't leave a greasy feeling on your skin. It's also pretty water resistant so still stays after teaching yoga. =) I also still get a pretty decent tan after applying this sunscreen, but don't get burned. (also necessary if your'e doing some beach yoga!)

Don't Sweat It Body Deodorant Lotion from Mojo Spa
Pictured is the deodorant bar but I actually recommend using the body lotion. It's not featured on the website, but you can find it at the store in Wicker Park. (they have the cutest beauty supplies there too soaps and bars shaped like cupcakes & cakes) This lotion not only smells great but it's lightweight and absorbs excess sweat & elminates odor keeping you smelling fresh.

 
It's not as heavy as a regular foundation and also has SPF 25 that provides great coverage for my skin. There's an array of shades you can get from light to medium complexions (I use toasted beige).

My favorite pair of sunglasses ever. Polarized lens. Classic frame that comes in all kinds of prints & colors to suit your fancy. nuff' said.

Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training

Roscoe Village Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training Crew


I had the opportunity to assist in this round of Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training at Roscoe Village. It was a great experience being able to assist in facilitating this training...seeing the growth in each individual and be there with them as they took this step in their yogi journey.

If you had asked me 3 years ago before I moved here I don't think I would have ever imagined myself teaching yoga, but it definitely has changed my life. It is a great feeling being able to guide people through their practice. Being a yoga instructor gives me an opportunity to express myself creatively and has shown me that there are no limits in where life takes you.

"The only thing limiting us in life is our belief that there are limits."


If you are looking to take your practice to the next level & love Yoga Sculpt as much as I do please feel free to contact me!
YOGA SCULPT TEACHER TRAINING STARTS MAY 19
  • Learn how to guide students on a new journey of body, mind & spirit.
  • Experience a new Vinyasa flow: breath to movement with weights incorporates increased endurance and challenges the body & mind.
  • Learn to incorporate multiple modalities in one class including strength training, cardio, stretching, yoga, & more!

Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training was just one of the steps of my yogi journey, but it definitely changed my life ever since. I would have never even dreamed three years upon moving to Chicago that this would be what I am doing now, but I couldn't be happier. Currently I'm reading "Living Your Yoga"and I really like how she explains "What is Yoga?"
  • "Yoga helps us to remove all obstructing mental clouds, so that we may come to enjoy the sunshine within. It's an extensive program of reeducation through which we learn, step by step, to live in the light of our true nature. Only when we have truly found ourselves will be able to live in peace, harmony, & happiness in the world."
One of my favorite quotes is that "Life isn't about finding yourself; life is about creating yourself." So although you might not have everything figured out, it's about taking each day and appreciating that moment...living in the present moment.

    Year of the Dragon 2012

    HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! Today I brought the theme of the Dragon into my classes. With the Lunar New Year, 2012 is the year of the Water Dragon. The Year of the Water Dragon is said to be a year for great, deeds, innovative ideas and big projects. The year of the Dragon is also said to bring excitement, big ups and downs in our lives.

    What makes the Dragon special is that unlike the other Chinese Zodiacs, some may view the Dragon as a mythical creature rather than an actual animal. What I found special about the Dragon is that it is a karmic animal, it is said to give happiness and success to all good and honest people.

    So this year we should give love, share happy thoughts and love & happiness will return to us. Since the Dragon is a karmic animal, it returns positive energy which you give to others.

    I felt that the ideas and meaning of the Year of the Dragon really tied in with the "yogi journey" because many yogis (myself included) sometimes focus on what their practice should look like or maybe worry that they are not advanced enough to try a certain pose, etc; when what we should be focusing on is the excitement of perhaps trying something new or even focusing on the present. It is said that in order to bring good fortune for the new year, on New Year's Day you should not focus on things of the past, but instead focus on the present. This is something you can definitely relate this into your yogi practice especially because the focus of your practice should always be in the present moment; not worrying about anything else.

    Another special aspect of the Dragon is that it's viewed as the "free spirit" of the Zodiac. So if this year you are looking to try something new or maybe you have some impossible dream...maybe 2012 is the year to make it happen. If you would have asked me three years ago when I was still living in LA if I would have thought I would be teaching yoga in Chicago...I don't think I would have even dreamed of that happening. I may not have everything in life figured out, but I am okay with that and I do expect that with the year of the Dragon I'll experience excitement, big ups & big downs, but am happy and excited for what the new year has to offer.

    Active Wear

    Last week I had the opportunity to do some yoga with CorePower Yoga in the storefront at Old Navy on State St. in Chicago. It was really awesome because they even let us pick out an outfit from their Activewear line! I was surprised at the wide selection they have to offer for Activewear; Old Navy offers several different options in terms of fit and great selection for men and women...all at a reasonable price!

    I selected the "Women's Racer Back Active Tank" in the warm smoke print. I like that the top has a built-in bra and I really liked the fit with the keyhole opening in the back. I was doing yoga for about 2 hours in the storefront and the top definitely allowed me to continue with my flow; the top is from their "Go Dry!" line and the fabric is moisture wicking so it still allowed my skin to breathe as well.
    http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=77772&vid=1&pid=898370&scid=898370072

    I also selected the "Women's Active Control Max Pants." I really liked the fit of these pants, especially since they are fitted at the bottom of the pants. There is also a mesh trim that's below the waistband which provides ventilation.


    A little info. about the pose featured in the picture...Reverse Warrior aka Viparita virabhadrasana
    Both legs are very active in this pose..the benefits of this pose is that it is a great stretch for the side body as well a great hip opener. Reverse warrior also helps build strength in the lower body.
