Every year, I like to take a look at ACSM’s worldwide survey of fitness trends. I always find it interesting to see what people are into (compared to what I’m into) and how to changes from year to year. Here’s my take on each of the first 10 of the 20 top 2017 fitness trends. […]

Let’s Talk Resolutions
I don’t usually think much about new year’s resolutions until about December 28. I tend to adopt new habits throughout the year as I realize I need them, so by the time January 1 rolls around there’s not usually much left to implement. (This year I do have a couple of things to do, which […]
Matcha Chai Recipe and Green Root Tea Matcha Review
(I received this product as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) Having just spent nearly seven weeks in India, I’m back to being obsessed with chai. So delicious! And when I got home and had this new matcha by Green Root Tea waiting for me, I got […]
2016 Blog Year in Review
As we approach 2017, I’m doing a year in review about my 2016 blog posts. If you didn’t catch them the first time, take time to read them now! And I’d like to thank you for following me here over the last couple of years. I hope you’ve found it useful and/or inspiring in some […]
Sharing the Yoga Teacher Training Experience
Where to begin, right? As you may know, I left for India on November 1 to complete my 500 hours of Akhanda yoga teacher training. I got back on December 18. A lot can — and did — happen in that length of time, and in some ways it’s difficult to talk about. Not because […]
Should You Do a Yoga Teacher Training?
So, you’ve been doing yoga for awhile. You like it. Maybe it would be cool to teach it to others. Should you become a yoga teacher? Should you do a yoga teacher training? This is a personal question that only you can answer, but lately I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit. When I became a yoga […]
Lucuma “Eggnog” Recipe
When I first saw this recipe at Sunfood Superfoods (affiliate link, as are the following links), I was ecstatic. I LOVE eggnog, but it’s not the healthiest choice I make all year. Here was an alternative using lucuma, which I bought at Sunfood recently, and I couldn’t wait to try it. I made a few […]
On Getting Older Again
It’s my birthday! Today marks 34 years of life here, and getting older has me as bewildered as the rest of you. I think I was about 31 before I realized you’re all bewildered, too. There was a long time there when I noticed the absolute whooshing-by of the days and was convinced that no one […]
Gift Ideas for Fitness Lovers
I love giving gifts, and I try to find excuses to do it throughout the year, not just during the holidays. It can be challenging to find the perfect gift ideas, but if someone on your list is a fitness or yoga lover, I’ve got you covered. I’ve been working on my 2016 Gift Ideas for […]
If You’re a Yoga Teacher, Where Are All the Handstand Selfies?
I have a Your Body Best Instagram account. It’s not a record-breaking account, by any stretch. And maybe that’s partly because I don’t post a lot of handstand selfies. In fact, there’s not a single handstand picture there. And why not? Handstands are fun! Handstands get lots of likes! If you’re really a yoga teacher, […]
