Get Out of Your Head

"Get out of head that your legs need to be straight or that it should look a certain way. If you’re breathing and you’re not compromising your body, then you’re doing yoga brilliantly, beautifully." - Seane Corn

Aerial Yoga Review

So I mentioned it was my birthday Saturday, and I thought it was the perfect day to try something new. I recently found that Boise has Aerial Yoga classes, so I signed us right up for a one hour class at Ophidia Studio. Us = Me and Adam.


Ultimately it was not quite as much yoga as aerial, but I was fine with that. It was still super fun because there was enough flipping and monkeying around to keep me happy. I'll be going back for more and I'd suggest it for anyone to try. At first it's a little awkward, but overall it's easier than you'd think. A lot of it seemed to rely mostly on how much you were willing to just go for it. It was a nice workout for grip strength and confidence.


After class the instructor Katie Ponozzo graciously took a few pics for me. We also did a fun little backflip thing that I really liked, but I decided against asking for a video of it out of respect for her time.

Birthday Weekend

Tomorrow is my birthday so I'm taking a long weekend. I'll return on Tuesday the 7th.
I hope that I'll be eating, drinking, being merry, and doing yoga.
In the meantime, here's Natalie Portman with a very attractive mustache.

Smells like a Hippie

Me - A couple years ago I would've said this smells like a hippie, but now I just think it smells really good.

My Mom - "Well you are a hippie."

Touché mom. Touché.




We were talking about soap by the way.
