My New Yoga Fascination...
My New Yoga Fascination…
I know it’s been around for a while now and yes I’ve known about it. But… I just tried it for my self, not to long ago (this year, 2017). (Also, I am writing this as I discover it). What is it??? Earlier this year, my friend posted a picture on Facebook of her inverted in a hammock like contraption. The pose turned out to be “inverted frog.” Her post started my curiosity. I thought it was cool…

Theme Ideas for Throughout the Year
Theme Ideas for Throughout the Year
I teach many styles of yoga: vinyasa, slow flow, lunar flow, yin, and restorative as well as classes that have a set sequence. As a teacher, I really strive to have themes because in my opinion that is what really makes the class memorable for those who take it. Yoga is so much more than an exercise class. It is supposed to be a mind, body, and spirit experience. When I strive to have a theme, I…

Sanitizing your Yoga Studio during the “Sick Season”
Sanitizing your Yoga Studio during the “Sick Season”
Where I’m located, this past February and March 2020 (I’m writing this in March), our local community is “concerned” about getting sick and in talking with others it’s a global concern. Currently, we’re worried about the flu, colds, and now this Coronavirus. We’ve communicated how important hand washing is and not coming to yoga while sick, but it got my co-owner and I thinking about what we…

Shake Up Your Asana...
Shake Up Your Asana…
What I really mean is your butt. Asana is the Sanskrit term for yoga poses. And our butt is the largest muscle group in our bodies.
Anyways, I’ve been hearing a lot lately about weak glutes (our butt muscles) and their contribution to low back, hip, and knee pain. My niece is a talented gymnast and she apparently hurt her back because of weak glutes but her core is super strong. She’s a beast on…

Thru Hiking; Take One...
Thru Hiking; Take One…
Pretty much all of my hiking has been what is known as “day hikes;” although some have been really long days in the range of 9-12 hours. In my day hikes, I’ve trekked a variety of elevations with 14, 433 feet being the highest (Mt. Elbert).
Recently, my friend Erika and I signed up for a four day thru hike to a volcano which includes three nights in a tent in addition to some training on days two…

Out There
Two of my loves are yoga and hiking. I regularly practice yoga as well as teach it. Vinyasa, slow flow, yin, and restorative are my go to practices. But I’m not your stereotypical yogi.
As much as I love yoga, I adore hiking; the really get out there kind where you just don’t see a ton of people. If you’re familiar with yoga’s fifth limb, pratyahara, this is my escape, my withdrawal from the…

Candlelight Restorative Flow
It’s just around the corner…the dreaded time change switcheroo. This time it’s where we fall back an hour and revert to standard time. And I hate it! I really wish we wouldn’t mess with the time whether it’s to Daylight Savings time or Standard time. Just pick one and leave it alone!
According to research, the switching of an hour ahead or falling back isn’t good for our health. I particularly…

GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM
Space Oddity was a hit for the late singer David Bowie with its popular lyrics “ground control to Major Tom.” Take an opportunity to revisit the song and really listen and if you’ve never heard the song, definitely check it out. An important concept in yoga is that of grounding. If you have a few yoga classes under your belt then it’s highly likely you’ve heard this talk of grounding. What…

Post Fourteener Restorative Yoga Sequence
Post Fourteener Restorative Yoga Sequence
Colorado is home to a lot of mountains classified as “fourteeners.” That is these mountains boast elevations of fourteen thousand something feet above sea level. The tallest mountain in Colorado is 14,433 feet and the shortest fourteener is Sunshine Peak coming in at 14,001. There are also a ton of thirteeners as well. It doesn’t matter whether you hiked a thirteener or a fourteener, they both…

Salutation to Earth Day 2017 Yoga Class
Salutation to Earth Day 2017 Yoga Class
I teach all sorts of yoga classes at a variety of locations and I’m always looking for ideas and themes. Another year has passed and just around the corner we celebrate a special day called “Earth Day.” Earth Day is always on April 22 and this year it happens on a Saturday. For this day or about this time, I like to celebrate earth in my yoga classes. Spring time is a fond time for me and around…

Frequently Asked Yoga Questions
Frequently Asked Yoga Questions
As a studio owner, I get tons of questions from various people. It varies as to who asks, but generally our askers are folks who have never tried yoga, new in town but yoga practitioners, or some type of therapist. Here’s our list for Eighteenth Element Yoga. This one is always asked. What are your prices? Its a great question. People live within budgets and yoga does have a reputation of being…

Helpful Hints for Yoga Teachers Who Want to Get Teaching Gigs
Helpful Hints for Yoga Teachers Who Want to Get Teaching Gigs
As a yoga teacher and a yoga studio owner, I have had the opportunity to interact with hundreds of yoga teachers. Some teachers are well established and others are inexperienced having just graduated from a yoga teacher training. Overall, I have two perspectives: that of a yoga teacher and as a studio owner. While this topic is searchable online, I don’t feel people are being reached, the subject…

You’ve Planted a Seed. Now to Water it and Let it Grow.
This is actually something I’ve said to a young aspiring yoga teacher that my business partner and I are mentoring. Anything worth happening doesn’t come easy. Isn’t that the truth!?!?! People seek yoga teacher training for a plethora of reasons! To strengthen their own practice. To discover themselves. To help others. And some do actually want to teach. All of these are fantastic reasons! There…

So You Wanna Be a "Good" Yoga Teacher
So You Wanna Be a “Good” Yoga Teacher
Every time I turn around, someone or some place is advertising their upcoming Yoga Teacher Training (YTT). Where I live, it happens a lot. If you are an aspiring Yoga Teacher contemplating all the schools, you are probably thinking this is awesome. Well… Maybe it is. Maybe it isn’t. Why maybe? I’ve been to a few trainings to include a couple of 200 hours worth. Don’t get me wrong, in every…

Summertime Lull and Yoga Activities to Bring Clients Back
Summertime is often a lull for yoga classes. It can be frustrating when you are used to a full class and then all of a sudden your numbers drop sometimes drastically. Some people take it personally but they really shouldn’t. Its not you, its the nice weather and the fact that kids are on summer break so many families take vacations or pursue family activities. I don’t blame the clients. When it…

What's in a logo? A name?
I’ve been really busy trying to get my yoga studio started and going. Very time consuming to say the least! As I and my business yoga partners develop the business, there is one question that people continuously ask me. That is how did I come up with my studio name and the logo. Well, I have to say, I didn’t come up with it all by myself. I had help. It was a joint effort on the part of myself…
