I am pleased to report that I do remember how to teach yoga! My first class back was last Friday. There were only 2 people there, but they were 2 lovely individuals and it was the perfect way to get back into the swing of things. I am also pleased to report that Edison did great hanging out with Granny C while I was away. Whew!  On another note, Black Friday is this Friday! I love teaching on Black Friday because there is always a lot of energy in the room. People are usually off from work and want to come work off some of the turkey they ate the day before. We shall see if this year is the same. Whoever decides to attend will get an updated Black Friday playlist. Last year's playlist was pretty good, so it may be difficult to top, but I will give it my best effort! Hope to see you there. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. Namas(tay).

You read that right! I am back to my regularly scheduled Tayoga class this Friday at 9am at Elevate Community Yoga. I'm a little nervous because it has been a while since I taught, but it should be like riding a bike, right?! Haha. Sign up online and I hope to see you there, my peeps. Happy Monday. Namas(tay).

My lack of posting has been due to being a new mom (duh), but also because my little family of three has been traveling! Edison completed his first road trip, which consisted of 10 days worth of adventures. We visited family and friends. Andrew's cousin got married in Vegas, so Edison is already familiar with the Vegas strip! We also visited Death Valley, Mammoth, and Pinecrest to name a few. He was a champ! I think he is going to like traveling just as much as his ol' folks. We recently just got back from 4 nights at the beach. The whole family goes for Mom's birthday. This was our fourth annual trip and it was a blast. Edison is a natural at the beach. The weather was nice but windy. We still managed to have a great time.  Now it's back to "normal" days (whatever that means). Unfortunately, I caught a cold and now Edison has it, too. Pray that we both get over them quickly! This Friday was supposed to be my first class back to teaching, but I don't want

I definitely have the whole "Mom bod" thing going on. If I'm being honest, I kind of like it. I figured I better write that down because I'm probably not going to always think that. I haven't done any yoga in over 4 weeks, so everything is definitely softer than it used to be (arms, legs, belly, butt!). It's ok though - It's for the best reason! Edison is 1 month old today. He's such a handsome boy. Both of us want to wish you a happy and healthy week.  Namas(tay).

  Here's the picture it wouldn't let me upload last week. Apparently, I just needed to refresh my screen! Why couldn't I come up with that last week? I don't know, but, here it is now. Edison is now 3 weeks old. Yesterday I did some stretches and used my bolster for the first time since he was born. It felt amazing. I'm excited to ease back in to yoga. I've read a lot about this time being the fourth trimester (which is a contradiction, I know). Our culture praises women for getting back to their usual shape, exercises, routine, etc. after giving birth, but I've learned that it is a slow healing process (even if you are feeling good). So that's what I'm doing: I'm taking it easy. Slow walks and stretches are where I'm at, as well as lots of snuggles with my boys (I haven't forgotten about Andrew!). Have a great week and maybe take a little extra time this week to take care of yourself. Everyone needs it. Namas(tay).

Well... I'm pulling the Mom card out as my excuse for my lack of posts this past 2 weeks. The good news is: I'm working on a long post for you. The bad news is: it takes a while to complete when you have a newborn. I figured you understand! In case you are wondering, Edison is still wonderful. We had a rough day yesterday; but that's part of the job. Today has been much better. My Mom came out to help, so I got a nap (wahoo)! Andrew is also back to work, so things are constantly changing around here. It's a good thing we like to try new things! On the yoga front, Elevate is opening back up October 19th! Yay! Not sure when I'll be back to teaching on Fridays, but I will keep you all posted. Hope you are having a great week and happy almost Friday! Namas(tay). P.S. I tried to upload an image of Edison, but, of course, technology does not like me so you will have to wait for another picture. Sorry!

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
