The first outdoor yoga class I took left me unimpressed with the experience. I recall it being a little annoying - there were all kinds of bugs, my mat wasn’t even on the bumpy and lumpy ground and grass got all over everything. Instead of the setting enhancing the experience, for me, it was a … Continue reading Lost and Found: Sunday yoga
When Pint-Sized is just enough
Saturday night dinner service can sometimes demand a period of winding down prior to heading home. An adult beverage, along with some conversation, can provide the ideal transition between work and rest, with a bonus if you can walk to a place that allows for both.
