Over the years I have listened to podcasts featuring famous yoga teachers, many of these teachers teach at the Wanderlust festivals.

Everything Wanderlust
This is the year of Wanderlust and as you may know Squaw Valley is rapidly approaching! We’re heading out on a family vacation prior to being Tahoe bound. These means one of two things I have to pack for a family vacation and Tahoe all at the same time. It’s going to be a tight […]
Kettlebells
I walked into the kettlebell class on partner day and didn’t have to worry about being picked last in gym class, the instructor picked ME! How sweet, I thought! Boy was I mistaken.
