Heart Opening Yoga Flow

Carola Stephens

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I've been slacking a little on my class posts. I've been in a little funk, so I didn't do as much as I should have. Just taking it one day at a time! 🙂 Two weeks ago, I taught a Heart Opening Flow! In this class, I did a lot of chest openers to get us started and peaked with Ustrasana-Camel Pose. I give lots of modifications to get into the peak pose. It's appropriate for all levels. If you’re interested in this Vinyasa flow, come check it out!

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. In this post, I talk about Tadasana, and how It’s quickly become one of my favorite poses. When I first started doing yoga, I didn't think much about the pose. Head over to my post to learn why Tadasana has become my favorite and how to do it properly to feel grounded. Have a healthy, safe, and marvelous week!!

Ayurveda and book review!

Carola Stephens

In the beginning of the year, I challenged myself to do the Alphabet Reading Challenge. So far, I am reading 3 books, and finally finished one of them and wanted to do a little write-up! I am currently taking an Ayurveda Certification course through the Yoga and Ayurveda Center. Part of the Practicum was to write a Lifestyle, Nutrition, and Yoga plan for each of the 3 Doshas.
