Sun Salutations. (2020)
Namasté here is a minimal poster I made inspired by a sun salutation flow I did a while ago, the silhouette is inspired by Ancient Greek mythological art but the colors are more modern and have some nostalgic hues to them. The links below will link you to different wall art perfect for your home. Stay well and in abundance.
it didn’t really hit me until a couple of days ago when class numbers started to go down and classes starting to be cancelled that teaching is my income. it is an unsettling and tough time for everyone and especially independent contractors and small businesses. I understand that people want to suspend their memberships immediately and have notice periods waived, but I urge you to think of these studios and how much that one extra payment can help for them to make it through this time and still exist at the end. I also want to thank the studio owners who are doing everything they can to keep classes running so that we have work. for my classes that are still running I won’t be using props and will stay teaching from the mat. everything is cleaned meticulously but please feel free to bring your own mat and props and know that you do not have to use any props. I never noticed how much I like to physically adjust you all, so that has stopped too! in this high stress time, coming to yoga will help give your mind a break from obsessing over the things that are happening right now. but I understand the importance social distancing, so please do what you think is best.
So, in the last couple of weeks I’ve sucked at blogging. Things have been busy and I started a new job that’s amazing and came to me in a totally roundabout way and it’s great. I’ve also started to not like Tumblr. None of my friends actually write on theirs anymore, so I don’t like scrolling through my feed. But I never actually sit down at my laptop to actually fucking write either.
And I’m a little bit annoyed about it. With myself for not just writing. So, I thought I’d post a list of the blogs that are not on Tumblr that I read on an almost daily basis:
Laurie Ruettiman - Love this chick. She’s an HR pro-turned-pro HR writer. She’s a really cool person IRL (or at least on Slack) and she’s a badass. And she has, like, 5 cats. So, she’s basically living my dream life.
H(OM)E- The lifestyle/yoga/food/whatever blog that my yoga teacher Chrissy writes. She just re-designed her entire site and it’s awesome. And she’s awesome. If you like food or yoga or just good writing, it’s a good place to be.
Inspiralized - I love my Inspiralizer and I love reading Ali’s daily blog posts about recipes, and eating healthy in general. I also like her lifestyle blog a lot, too.
The Balanced Blonde - Written by Jordan Younger, who used to be The Blonde Vegan, is super cool. She recently finished up her 500 hours with YogaWorks in California and she’s an awesome, verbose writer. She’s teaching at PureYoga one day in April and I have my ticket ready to go. Super psyched.
Diary of a Yoga Teacher Trainee- I actually happened upon this lady in the comments section of the above blog. She’s going through the same intensive training at YogaWorks that I went through, although with a different teacher. She’s from England and she’s a great writer.
Ramshackle Glam - I’ve been reading Jordan Reid’s blog since she started in 2009. I love some of her stuff and some of it not so much (style posts?! Nahhhh).
Melanie Murphy - I follow ONE YouTuber in the entire world and it’s this lady. Does that count as a blog? It’s a vlog, so YES. I have no idea how I found her channel but she’s hilarious and insightful and lives in Ireland. I’m a fan.
That’s about it. That’s most of what takes up my time. I can’t be bothered with Facebook anymore as everyone is running around, screaming like deranged child on it about how the world is ending, and nobody got time for that. I’m also really contemplating hiring help to switch my blog over to Wordpress to get off Tumblr because that’s what all the cool kids are doing these days. Thoughts?
Is there an awesome blog that I’m not reading? Let me know!
