Give Me Some Props – A Giveaway & Discount!

If you’ve spent much time around here, you know my yoga mat is usually surrounded by a handful of props. Sometimes I reach for props to make a challenging pose more accessible. Other times, I use a prop to more deeply explore a yoga pose. And, I regularly use them to facilitate the process of relaxation. Students wishing to begin a home practice often email me wondering what props they need, and what they have around the house that might work as a prop. So, I thought it would be helpful to dish…Read more
My Cobblestone Journey

My Cobblestone Journey

I remember the first time I rode in a car over a cobblestone road. The loud rumbles made as our tires rolled over the bumpy terrain filled my wee soul with giddy glee. My dad talked with excitement about the history of the road. As I looked out the window, I was amazed by its beauty. ***** I’ve been on a bit of an unplanned blogging break since Little Man’s arrival.

I wanted more children, but I was worried about the potential risks to me and my future babies of accumulating cesarean births. So, I began planning for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). We waited the recommended two years before even trying to get pregnant. When I happily saw two pink lines on a pregnancy test shortly after AE's second birthday, I returned to the physician…Read more

Not Something I Usually Talk About

I don't talk about this subject with just anyone partially because I NEVER in a million years imagined I'd be doing this. In fact, before I was a mother myself, I felt a strong opposition to this. But, the main reason I avoid this topic is because I know in my knower, with 100% certainty, that I'm doing what's right for my family. I'm not interested in a debate. I have not yet posted about this here at EBIT, because I didn't have a clear intention. I wasn't sure what it would accomplish,…Read more
