Below is the second of hopefully many Tayoga Conversations. This one takes place between me and my husband, Andrew. He is a great supporter of all my Tayoga shenanigans, but you will probably notice through this conversation that yoga is not his cup of tea. Enjoy! Tayoga: How were you introduced to yoga and what has been your impression of the practice thus far? A: I was introduced to yoga through the insistence (or is that persistence?) of my lovely wife, who is on the other side of this interview. Of course, you didn't ease me into anything, so my first class experience was vinyasa on the sand under the hot sun in Long Beach , and second experience was Aerial Yoga, which went about as well as you'd expect for a six foot three, 275# yoga novice... I guess that's fair since I didn't ease you into dating me in the first place, eh? While I can see the appeal of yoga in general, I haven't found anything that I particularly love. What I do like about what I&#

I don't have much to say this week so I'll let this past weeks pictures speak for me. They are worth a thousand words after all! Have a great week. Namas(tay).

I don't have any real theme for this post - just a couple random thoughts since life feels really good right now. 1) THE SUN IS OUT!!! I am a spring/summer girl for sure! The hubby and I went for a bike ride with friends yesterday. It was great! And yes... I do other forms of exercise besides yoga! 2) My birthday is tomorrow! I will be 31-derful! I have the day off work - the current plans are: yoga, massage, hanging with my mama, then later with the hubby. My birthday really started on Saturday and is lasting for a week. Wahoo! 3) A yoga studio reached out to me to see if I would be interested in being on their sub list! That's exciting. 4) Several Tayoga things are coming up!        - Lunchtime yoga is being added to Tayoga Fridays (12-12:30pm) at the Dragonfly-Art for Life        - Game of Thrones Yoga is this Saturday (11am-12:15pm) at Elevate Community Yoga. Snacks and raffle prizes are in the works.        -I will also be subbing extra days at Elevate in Mode

This week I asked my husband, Andrew, if he would be interested in writing a blog post on his views on Tayoga or just yoga in general. I thought it would be good to have others' views on here instead of just my own. He came up with the brilliant idea for Tayoga Conversations. The plan is to have a back and forth conversation with different people in the community to help the Modesto yoga community grow. I plan to chat with fellow teachers, students, family, and friends, so stay tuned for future conversations. Here's the link for all future conversations ( conversations.tayoga.cc ). Well, I figured I shouldn't subject others to something I'm not willing to do myself - so below is the first conversation, featuring me in the hot seat with Hubby Huff on the other side of the conversation. Enjoy! A: How did you get started with yoga and at what point did you decide to complete teacher training? Tayoga: I got started with yoga in the winter of 2015. A friend was going

A friend who regularly attends my Friday morning Vinyasa class told me a while back, "On Fridays we Tayoga." Haha! I loved it! This past Friday was full of Tayoga fun. I taught my usual 9am class at Elevate Community Yoga, then headed to my niece's school and taught her 4th grade class a 30 minute yoga session in the afternoon. There are 27 kids in that class! I was a bit nervous, but, it was fun, of course. They ooh'd and aah'd over my headstand. I'm glad I didn't get nervous and fall over! After that, I headed to Manteca to take a class at Excel Yoga which was led by a lovely lady who is going through her teacher training program. She did great! It was nice to get my own practice in, rather than teaching. I didn't realize how exhausting being a yoga teacher was until I became one. The night was topped off with dinner with new yoga friends from Excel Yoga, then tea on the couch with my hubby. Let's just say by the end of Friday I was wiped out a
