I did swear off climbing (or trekking should I say) a mountain ever again. My trip to Mt. Arayat several years ago was such a traumatic experience I’m not sure I want to do it again. No amount of cute gear and even one of those nice dakine backpacks will entice me. Or at least [...]

In the past few months, sports buffs, yoga enthusiasts, and gym rats have quickly gone nuts for coconuts. Coconut water, that is. It is one of the latest and fastest fads in the health beverage industry and even celebrities have been seen touting little packs of coconut water. Dubbed as the world’s best sports drink, [...]

Last night the balikbayan box my sister sent a couple of weeks ago finally arrived and at loooong last, the new mats I have been waiting for arrived! Yeeeey! Although I have a wonderful Jade mat for my regular practice, I was looking forward to the extra one because I needed a spare so I [...]

If you recall, last December I posted about my experience with AntiGravity Yoga. I really cannot wait until the AGY studio of Beyond Yoga opens in February! I know Tomas Morato is super far from me, but it’s soooo well worth the trip! Seriously Sometimes I kinda wish I had one of those AGY hammocks [...]

I’ve been making a lot of progress in my yoga practice, I’d like to think I am able to do a lot of the poses that I used to wish I could do and I have seen a lot of changes in my practice. One pose I am still trying to get at, though, is [...]

Yesterday I was talking to some of my yoga friends and we got into the discussion of how I don’t dance but I love to hula hoop and then out of the blue, Lady Gaga’s song “Just Dance” suddenly played in the radio. Oh my talk about signs And so this morning when I woke [...]

I wrote about the Flow Surf Yoga Samba retreats some time ago and they’re having another one this November…and still I cannot go!!!! Arrrgh!!! I’m sure it will be an exciting weekend and that I would love it more than anything (well, except for the dancing part perhaps haha!) so I am hoping that someday [...]

Yes, asana, not asa na hehe. I am coming to realize that many of the poses I never thought I would be able to do are now more accessible to me and I can’t help but feel quite proud of those little accomplishments. Binding, for example, was something I could never do before because my [...]
