Bria Yoga Tanktop

So while googling "Bria Yoga," the other day (admittedly in a moment of boredom), check out what popped up:

A "Bria Yoga" tank!

That's so coooool! Two wishes:

1. That this tank weren't sold out. I'd buy it for the name alone.

2. That they offered it in my favorite color: purple.


Digging around on the Lorna Jane website, I found this company has a pretty cool story and philosophy. Too bad there are no stores in the U.S.A. or Canada, only in Australia, New Zealand, and Signapore. Maybe someday.

Yoga 4 Soul Bootcamp




That's me in the above photo, mid flip with Jojo spotting me at this past weekend's Yoga4Soul Bootcamp. He was guiding me as I came out of a handstand and landed in a backbend.

With or without the heatwave, we all would've sweated up a storm. As always, it was a blast and totally worth the temporary discomfort and doubts.

Come to think of it, the uncomfortable, but ultimately blissful experience of Bootcamp is an apt metaphor for life. Sometimes we have to push through trying times and challenges in order to find bliss, or simply a bit of peace. Often, we need a helping hand, a "spot," from those around us. There's absolutely nothing wrong with going through tough times, and with allowing others to help us out here and there.
