Polar Bear jammies and a puzzle crown. Can life get any better? Maybe if you add some Tayoga to the mix...and some orange sunglasses ;) Love ya, my friends. Namas(tay).

Hello, my peeps! How are you on this dreary Friday? I was not in the best mood when my alarm went off this morning and I saw there was no sunshine outside. If you know me, you know I'm a sunshine kind of gal. Rain is nice for 1-2 days and, most importantly, I don't have to go out into it. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay snuggled in bed with the hubby but the good news is at least I was going to do something fun...YOGA! I was interested to see who would brave the rain to make it to yoga. Answer: all the regular peeps. My morning class at Elevate was a class of 4 regular Tayoga peeps and I decided to use a very old playlist that I had never used in class before. It is different than all other Tayoga playlists because none of the songs contain words. It was a last minute decision to use this playlist instead of the new playlist I made last night because having no words means it is a little more low key usual. I figured it went well with the lack of sunshine. Since it was a diff

It's pretty crazy to think that Andrew and I have been parents for almost a year! Edison turns the big ONE on September 5th. How did that happen? I think it has flown by, but Andrew says it feels like the kiddo should be 4 years old by now. I roll my eyes because this is coming from the guy who has been sleeping through the night for the past year!  Anyway... it has been a wonderful year full of adventure. Edison is truly Mr. ONEderful and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our little guy. Hopefully, he learns to enjoy yoga (unlike his father). Haha! If not, that's ok, too. Have a ONEderful weekend, my peeps! Namas(tay).

My first Mommy and Me Yoga class at the Dragonfly-Art for Life was April 16, 2021. Since that date, I have had one mother/daughter pair show up one time. It can be a little disheartening when people don't show up... especially to a free class! I stuck with it, though - Edison and I show up every week (unless we are on vacation of course). I am pleased to report that this last Friday  -3 months after my first class - I had a few more people than normal. 11 more to be exact! It was a bit chaotic, but that's what happens when kids get involved. Oh, what a blast it was! I realize it probably won't be like that every week, but it gave my confidence a little boost and I cannot wait for the next one.   See you there with your kiddo?  Nasmas(tay)   Mommy (or Daddy) and Me Yoga Fridays 11:30am-12pm Dragonfly-Art for Life @ 1210 J Street Can you spot Edison? He is on the move!

In case you haven't heard, I have restarted my Friday lunchtime yoga - but with a new twist. It is now "Mommy (or Daddy) and Me Yoga," so bring your little one(s) with you! I will have Edison with me and we can have a grand ol' time. Yoga is great for all ages, so start them young. The class is still located at the Dragonfly-Art for Life at 1210 J Street in downtown Modesto. Class is now 11:30am-12pm and kiddos of all ages are welcome. If you would like to sign up, check out Tayoga Class Signup to reserve your spot.  Hope to see you there! Namas(tay).

The weekend was full of family, friends, rain, Game of Thones, and of course...yoga. Friday Fridays are my big yoga days. I taught my usual 9am class at Elevate Community Yoga. The class flowed to a couple of Spice Girls song which I think went over well! We focused on binds with our peak posture being Bird of Paradise. Almost the entire class got into it! Some for the first time! Wahoo! After that I had a pot of tea with one of my favorite people, Anita (Tayoga conversation is in the works with this lovely lady so stay tuned!). Tea was followed by lunchtime yoga downtown at the Dragonly-Art for Life. One of the students that attended had a new knee injury so lunchtime yoga was transformed into chair yoga! Brittnie King led us through the perfect 30 minute chair yoga. It just goes to show we welcome all levels at our Free Yoga Fridays! To continue with the Friday Yoga theme, I headed to Escalon to teach yoga to my niece's 4th grade class one more time before the end of the scho

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

This past Friday, I had the privilege of teaching my first ever Tayoga Kids Yoga class! I was a nervous wreck before - because kids can be scary - but it was an absolute BLAST! This came about because my sister, Hilary, has 2 girls, Olivia and Emily, and they wanted Auntie TayTay to come to their classroom to teach yoga. Last week, I taught Emily's 2nd grade class. There were between 15-20 kids so it was not too overwhelming. I am pleased to report that not only did I have a good time but the kids did too! When the teacher asked if they wanted Mrs. Huff (which sounds super weird to hear out loud) to come back, all the kids shouted "YAAAAA!" Oh, it was so much fun. Afterward, I was able to speak with the teacher a little bit and she said in her 22 years of teaching, she had never had someone come do yoga with her students - She loved it. Of course, now Olivia is itching to have me come teach her class - which is 4th grade. 4th grade seems even more intimidating, but, I&#
