Woot! New home!

So excited, All Yoga, All the Time has a new home!  Come visit us at http://allyogaallthetime.com/, change your bookmarks and visit often :-)

Our new home has some exciting new features like the ability to search and categories!  Making it easier to find what might inspire your practice today.

We aren't quite all moved in yet.  Things aren't still are quite perfect. But, I figured, nothing's perfect in yoga practice, why should this be different, right!?  Bear with me as I add new features and rearrange the furniture a bit in the coming weeks.

I welcome your comments and feedback - let me know what you think, what you'd like more of, etc.

Thanks for visiting!

4 Things I Learned From My First SUP Yoga Class

1.  Surface area is your friend!  I knew this on land, but SUP Yoga takes it to another level... I really had to work to spread my hands and feet for better balance.

2. You can't, as my teacher put it, "half-ass" anything!  If you don't have the proper engagement, you might end up in the water.  This really helped me to see where I was normally slacking off in poses. (see #1)

3. Without relaxation, there is no balance.  You must engage properly (#2), you must find lots of surface area (#1) but if you don't have an element of relaxation in everything you do, you won't be able to move with/on the water.  I needed to soften into the movement that was happening below me, just as I soften into the movement of my breath on land.  Become too stiff and balance is no more!

4. Savasana can't possibly EVER be long enough :-)  Rocking on the gentle waves, sound of the shoreline in my ears, feet and fingers trailing in the water... I could have stayed there forever.  I have no idea if our savasana was 3 minutes or 30 minutes but whatever it was, I could have stayed all day.
