Zumba Convention 2012 (Part 1/2)

August 14, 2012

I must start this post by saying that I wasn’t even sure if I was going to blog about convention this year. Not because it’s not awesome, but because it’s so wonderful, I really wanted to spend the majority of my time enjoying the experience instead of trying to capture it in photos. So, I [...]

Zumbatomic Instructor Training {Fitness}

Baby Steps Back

August 5, 2011

I’ve been taking baby steps back from my injury. The other day, I decided to spend a few minutes before work doing some simple yoga poses. Please forgive my poor form. I haven’t done real yoga since Kath’s last day in Charlotte, so I was going off of rough memory. Let go and feel your [...]

Benched (Injuries Suck)

July 25, 2011

It’s funny being a blogger sometimes because although much of your life is so public, not 100% of your life is typically published. Some of you may have noticed my hiatus from blogging a couple weeks ago. In fact, my sister noticed and g-chatted me to see what was up. Here’s what I’ve been hiding [...]
