It’s mid-February, and I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m aligning more to my goals and resolutions more than in January! It was a stressful month to get back into working out every day and setting positive intentions.

I’ve been wanting to try more workouts other than my usual yoga sessions at Core Power Yoga- even though it’s the perfect combination of creating zen AND a work out. Another great studio in Philly is Yoga Habit in Fairmount- your first 21 days are discounted, and after a hot, sweaty yoga class get ready for a complimentary cold, lavender-scented towel!

Join the Circus!

Ever think of joining the circus? Yes, I’m pretty sure we all did at one point, unless you were afraid of clowns! Aerial yoga is a great way to play like you’re in the circus for a day, and Kaya Aerial Yoga offers a discounted first week! I also just tried out Acro yoga at Core Power Yoga with my sister on Galentine’s Day, the perfect day to try it out! Not only could we gaze deeply into each others eyes while laughing out loud, we were able to support each other in ways we haven’t before!

Fly into crow pose, stand tall like a mountain and sit into goddess post with ease and grace.

While trying out your new tricks and turns on the mat or in the air, I have some favorite yoga gear that will work with your new moves! There is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable while you try out a new pose. With that being said, I love to check out Karena and Katrina’s looks in their work out videos because they are so inspirational, and I love that they usually match in shades! I won’t lie, I’m also very into Revolve’s Nike collaboration for new kicks and Free People’s Movement collection (FYI there’s a sale this weekend!).

Time for a Change

I’ve been practicing yoga for over six years, and keep finding variations that are exciting and challenging. For those of you who are practicing yoga at home, try incorporating some music that you usually wouldn’t! I’ve been adding Harry Style’s debut album and Trey Songz cover of David Bowie’s Life on Mars to the mix for some upbeat, but tranquil songs. This year is also the year I'm dedicated to try a real handstand! Here's a shot of my supported forearm stand, and stay tuned for more along this journey!
