#nothingwithoutyoga

Day 22 & 23 of #mermaidyogis is my half hearted attempt of insect pose and Badha konasana (bound angle pose). # The past two days have been tough. Betty has been struggling mechanically and we had been struggling to find Someone (i.e.:Anyone!!!) in the state of Nebraska who had parts and could help us out. Last night chris made the "safe" decision to sleep in Omaha and thank god we did. The guys at Transmissions Incorporated in Omaha Nebraska saved our behinds. Seriously, they are the best. 3ish hours later (& some delicious Mexican food) and we are back on the road. # It's funny. My expression in this picture is exactly how I've felt all Morning. I wasn't sure what was going to happen to Betty, if I'd make it back in time for my Kripalu adventure, how we would get back, you name it- the thought was going through my head. I'm still having a hard time processing the past 24-36 hours. I'm happy that we rolled with it, that we found good people to help and that chris and I are back on the road, together. Boston, here we come #nothingwithoutyoga #backinbetty (at Omaha, Nebraska)

Guys! I have an apology to make to you all. My goal was to make three essential oil videos while adventuring around in Betty and I haven't delivered them to you yet. # But here's the thing, I've tried. I have two videos I recorded sitting on my computer REFUSING to upload. 4G isn't really 4G in the mountains. And while I'm bummed I cannot share them with you, I'm grateful for the lack of service. The first four days in Yellowstone we had no service and we weren't expecting it. I've personally been going nonstop my last couple of months of graduate classes and chris had been pushing to finish some mechanical stuff on the van as well as working full time. To be cut off from everything. Instagram(I love you but still), facebook and email was freaking glorious. It was freeing and relaxing. I didn't feel the need to check my phone or even know where it is all day (minus some cute photo ops). So I'm grateful and I promise those videos are coming to ya. For now, instead of fighting with my phone and computer all night I'm going to enjoy a glass of wine while my wonderful boyfriend plays the mandolin around the fire. # I will leave you with one little EO trick though. Melaleuca/ tea tree oil is a LIFESAVER on the road. Cuts, scrapes, blisters. This bad boy has got you covered. 💯worth it. #offgrid #nothingwithoutyoga (at Mammoth, Wyoming)

Grabbed a grassy spot at a rest stop in Ohio to #stopdropandyoga for day 7 of #mermaid yogis. I floweed through the vinyasa or two while the lovely older couple next to us looked on with suite a baffled expression. Always making a scene #nothingwithoutyoga #kmholistichealth #backinbetty (at Mentor, Ohio)

Day 6 of #mermaidyogis is side plank (still catching up over here 😝). We are in the road 4.5 hours already so it was nice to move around even if it's a quick walk to the bathroom, a side plank in he parking lot or a couple of squats in the van. #mermaidyogi #backinbetty #kmholistichealth #nothingwithoutyoga #hittheroadagain (at Whitesboro, New York)

Day 5 of #mermaidyogis is core work. Core and plank work used to be my least favorite part of my yoga practice. Over the post year, I've felt my body grow stronger and more stable. I am continuously amazed by how strong my body is and the amazing things it can do! #mermaidyogi #nothingwithoutyoga #kmholistichealth (at Central Rock Watertown)

Day 4 of #memaird yogis 😍#nothingwithoutyoga #kmholistichealth (at Central Rock Watertown)

Day 2 & Day 3 of #mermaidyogis # Child's pose and downward dog: two of the most rewarding yoga poses in my opinion. #nothingwithoutyoga #kmholistichealth #mermaidyogi

Hip opening, hamstring opening, lower body love flow. I'm all about #bootyday but all that hard work needs to be complemented by slow movements and opening up. Hold each pose for 5-10 breaths(slightly sped up here for demo sake) #nothingwithoutyoga #kmholistichealth (at BSC Lab)
