Hi all! If you read my post last week, you'll remember that I asked if you thought I would make it to teach my last Friday yoga class before Baby Tayoga arrives. The answer: NOPE! I had to call in reinforcements (AKA Kaycie Hall) to teach my Friday morning class because active labor was in full swing by Friday afternoon. Luckily, active labor was "only" 11 hours long and Edison Andrew Huff was born at 12:56am on Saturday, September 5, 2020. He is a big boy weighing in at 8 pounds, 12 ounces, and 21 inches long. I am pleased to report that I was able to have him naturally; because of that, recovery is going smoothly. My hubby, Andrew, and my Doula, Vanessa, were my rocks throughout the whole thing. I could not have done it without them.  Mama, Daddy, and Baby are all doing well. We are all so happy. Edison truly is perfection.  I still plan to keep up on this blog and my Patreon page. I'll likely be sharing Baby Tayoga updates because he is such a big part of our lives

Want to hear something crazy? My due date is this Thursday, September 3rd. Say what?! Where has the time gone? This has certainly been a crazy time to be alive, let alone pregnant! I'm still feeling pretty good but starting to slow down. That's why this Friday will be the last Tayoga class for a little bit. Do you think I will make it? Or will the baby going to come first? I think I'll make it but we shall see! Don't worry though, I'll be back to teaching on Fridays when my body is ready for it. I've already worked it out with Kaycie at Elevate Community Yoga. Let's hope the studios have opened up again by then, because teaching in the park while it is cold does not sound appealing! I guess you've got to do what you've got to do to get your yoga in, though. Am I right? Have a great week, my friends. Namas(tay).

Hello my peeps. This blog is going to be short and sweet. I am currently 37 weeks and feeling good. My plan is to continue to teach on Fridays until baby boy decides to make his appearance so if I'm not there on a Friday you will know why!  I was hoping to go to park yoga this morning but it was already 87 degrees at 8:30 this morning so I decided against it! I thought my 9am class this past Friday was hot but today definitely wins. I hope you all are staying cool in this crazy weather. Have a great week! Namas(tay).

My bad, my peeps! I just started my maternity leave and apparently my brain has gone to mush which is why I am writing this post on a Tuesday instead of a Monday. I'll do my best to not let it happen again but at least I got in some yoga time yesterday! Even though I wasn't doing my blog I was still doing yogi things. I was able to attend my first yoga class since everything got closed down again. Kaycie from Elevate Community Yoga led a 75 minute (pregnancy friendly) Hatha class at Ashby Park in Modesto. It was lovely. Even though I was the only pregnant one there I think everyone appreciated that it was pregnancy friendly!  The rest of the day was pretty chill. I took a nap after yoga (which was also lovely) and the rest of the day consisted of doing whatever the heck I wanted to do (re-organizing the house and baby's room, start packing my hospital back, watch the Giants game, eat gummy bears from Sprouts, snuggle with the hubby). There was a slight glitch in my lovely d

FUN NEWS EVERYONE! On August 1st, I will be hosting the first leg of a triathlon! It is not your typical triathlon - it sounds far more fun! There's a local group called the Fukari Tribe that enjoys doing different outdoor activities and they have decided to put together a triathlon that features yoga, a 5K, and a swimming portion. A friend of mine, Teresa Wright, is putting it together and she asked if I would host a 75 minute Vinyasa class at the park to be the first leg of the race! Naturally, I said yes. This special Tayoga class will take place at 7:30am at Ashby Park in Modesto on Saturday, August 1st. If you only want to do the yoga portion you are more than welcome to head home after it is over. If you want to continue on with the rest of the race then participants will head out to Lake Turlock for a 5K - you can run it if you want to but if you would rather walk, bike, skateboard, or roller blade then that works too! After the 5K, the final leg is a swim in the lake which

This past Friday was absolutely AMAZING! I got to teach a 75 minute Vinyasa class IN PERSON to 8 lovely ladies. A friend of mine suggested I should do yoga in the park, which sounded like a fantastic idea! There are so many parks to choose from in Modesto; I wanted to find one that would be somewhat quiet and would provide some shade if needed (I don't want my students cooking in the sun!). With the help of Andrew (who knows this town very well) we settled on Ashby Park. It is a small park nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The park is grass and trees - no playground, no benches - it was PERFECT! Speaking of perfect, please tell me you were able to get outside this past Friday because the weather was absolute perfection. I'm sure God planned it that way for my first live yoga class back. As you can see from the picture, it was comfortable to practice in the sun with a light breeze providing relief when things started warming up! I will definitely will continue to do Tayoga in A
