Something a little different for you this week (I know I say that a lot). This is a quick tutorial on how to do a proper Triangle pose. There's always so many cues I want to give for this pose during a class but I don't want to overwhelm everyone so I pick and choose a few. This video has ALL the cues! Another trick is doing this tutorial against the wall so it makes your back stay flat (like it's suppose to). Hope this helps! Namas(tay). Tayoga - Triangle Pose Tutorial

I tried out something a little different - I know you're shocked! It may sound strange, but in this flow you will not have to get down on your mat - all the poses are standing poses. On the day I made this, I did not feel like getting down on the ground; thus, the "all standing" idea was born. It was a nice change from the usual up and down flow while still giving a good workout. Since it is all standing postures, it has a good amount of balance involved. Before you begin the video, pick out a couple of focal points in front of you and up toward the ceiling - make sure these points don't move. This will help you to balance. Enjoy something a little different, my friends. Namas(tay). OPTIONAL PROPS: Blocks (or heavy books) Strap (or belt, leash, dish towel, etc). Tayoga - 45 Minute Hatha - All Standing

New video is up! I came up with this flow when I was feeling really good so it was a challenge but it felt great. For all my YouTube videos I do the flows twice. The first time is when I come up with the flows on the spot; the second time I do the flow to the audio. Let's just say I was not feeling as good as I did the first time and this flow really kicked my butt! I still felt good at the end but it seemed like it took a long time to get there...and it was less than 50 minutes! I told you this little story because if you're having a good day this flow will add to the goodness. If you're not having your best day this flow will help make it better - it will kick your butt in the process - but your day with definitely improve. Basically, do the flow, feel good, end of story.

Good morning my lovely friends! Just wanted to let you know there is a new Tayoga YouTube video up and running. It is a quick gentle sequence that you can do first thing in the morning before you even get out of bed. Start the day off a little yoga and feel good the rest of the day. Namas(tay).

Another Tayoga YouTube practice is up and ready for you! It is a Hatha flow so, good news, NO CHATARUNGAS! When I made this particular video I needed something that was going to open up my upper body. Working from home with all this craziness going on was causing me to hold tension in my chest and shoulders. I have to admit...this flow feels really really good! If you notice you're stressed and holding tension in your upper body I highly recommend this practice.  Suggested props:  Strap - if a yoga strap is not available then a dish towel or belt would work Bolster or 2 blocks - if neither of these are available then using a couple pillows or a rolled up blanket is also great. Fun fact: In case you didn't already know, the hubby and I just found out we are expecting a son! This is the reason I wore blue yoga pants and put the blue balloons in the background.  Nams(tay).

Amid all the world's craziness, I felt so much joy this weekend. This past Thursday, I had my 20 week ultrasound and anatomy scan at my OB's office. I was a bit bummed because Andrew was not able to go in with me due to Coronavirus precautions. He still went, but had to wait outside the building. He even got all dressed up for the occasion (see picture below). Woof.. .he is so handsome! Anyway, we had planned to find out the gender at the appointment. But, since he couldn't go in, I had them put it in an envelope. The appointment went well, and both baby and mama are doing good. It's always amazing to see the ultrasound with your baby moving around in there! After the appointment, I hurried outside to Andrew so we could open the envelope. As you may have guessed from the title of this blog... IT'S A BOY! We are so very excited! I even decided to tell the nurses working the front door at the doctors office. They were excited, too. Why is finding out the gender s

Hi all! Just wanted to let you know I posted a new YouTube video this week. It is quite a bit shorter than the last one so if you're not in the mood for a 75 minute practice then maybe this is the video for you. It features me guiding you through 10 Sun Salutation A's in 10 minutes. If you feel like doing 20 Sun A's then do the video again! I'll keep count for you. Just remember some movement, even if it is just 10 minutes, is much better than none at all. Stay moving, my friends! Namas(tay). Tayoga - 10 Sun Salutations in 10 Minutes

BIG NEWS! Tayoga is now on Youtube! I will admit that I created the Tayoga Youtube channel a while back, but just haven't had the time to make a video. At least one good thing came out of this whole quarantine thing! I am pleased to report that the first official video is up and it features yours truly. 🧡 As with most things that you do for the first time, it was definitely a learning experience. Andrew and I put quite a few hours into this video. My goal was to have the audio be VERY clear since that seems most important when doing a home practice (especially if you want your own music to go along with it). Trying to do a flow and talk at the same time is rather difficult. When you add in that I'm in my second trimester of pregnancy, then talking and flowing together is most certainly not going to happen! With Andrew's help, we managed to put together a video that features me doing the poses and also me doing a voice over. I hope you can check it out and let me know
