Fun in the Sun - Summer Vacay

Poolside Yoga

@fitnesswla

I can't believe that it's almost July. Half the year has gone by and soon, it'll be time to go on a road trip. Last year, I went to San Diego and had a lot of fun. Sparky and I played tourist and we loved the Balboa Park! We walked a lot and did yoga together. I can't wait to take her on a short trip soon. Vacations are good for the soul. I love to explore and enjoy nature. I'm sure Sparky loves the outdoors as much as I do. I'm looking at my calendar and planning something in mid July. Half the fun is in planning the trip.

Do You Feel It?

@fitnesswla

Despite the June gloom, Summer Solstice is just a few days away. Do you feel the days getting longer? I've been waking up around 6 am almost every day. I slept in a bit during the weekends but I was usually awake by 7 am. I get a lot done in the morning, so I can relax and enjoy myself in the afternoons and evenings. I love morning yoga and a healthy breakfast. I feel more centered and energized after my yoga practice. I've been doing yoga at the beach with my dog Sparky. I love the sound of the ocean and how it makes me feel free. I hope you feel the call to go outside, to move more and have a healthy happy Summer.

I loved the rooftop yoga last year and can't wait to celebrate GWD this Saturday! I did a double class of yoga fusion and stretching last Saturday. Not sure if I have time to teach a class but will go to a stretch class this Saturday. Here is the 7 Step Global Wellness Manifest:

1. Walk for an hour
2. Drink more water
3. Don't use plastic bottles
4. Eat healthy food
5. Do a good deed
6. Have family dinner
7. Sleep at 10 pm

I do all of the above except 7. I go to sleep around 10:30-11 pm. Their Manifest is similar to Blue Zones and I blogged about it here

International Yoga Day is on June 21st (Summer Solstice). www.iyd.yoga
There are many other health events in June. Hope to see you at one of them.
