Hot. Detox. Flow.

I am most at peace when I am continually taking part in physical movement. Not the chaotic movement from place to place that is the result of a typical busy day, but movement of the body. Dancing, stretching, yoga etc...I must always have some form of physical movement in my life, because I am simply not myself without it. I feel more connected with myself...mind, heart, and body...when I take the time to stretch, to release, to make shapes with my body. I love the resistance I feel in a stretch. I love that after one hour of yoga, my mind feels clear, my body feels lighter, and my heart is fuller.

When I ignore my desire for movement, I can feel myself disappearing. My mind becomes cluttered, my body feels thick and heavy, my heart is somewhat empty. I like being sore, I need to feel my muscles working. When I am not experiencing some degree of soreness, than I am unaware of the presence of my own body. I need to challenge myself, I need to increase my flexibility...in my mind and my body. Not doing so just isn't an option. Movement is a beautiful thing.

I recently took a Hot Detox Flow Yoga class, and I loved every second of it. It was my first time to experience Hot Yoga, but it definitely will not be my last. I'm pretty sure that I have never sweat that much at any other time in my life. I became aware of every single pore in my body. As the sweat poured over my skin and I focused on my breath alone, I felt so much relief.

For Tressa...

A few weeks ago, I had an unforgettable night filled with delicious wine, organic pizza, and wonderful people...Audrey, Tressa, and Katherine (Emily, you were very missed). We all decided that we should start blogging in order to remain a part of each other's everyday life. Everyone began their blogs immediately, I am the slacker who is just now starting mine. I'm not really convinced that I want to blog...but Tressa has been at my throat about it. I have titled my blog "Blah Blah Blah" because that is the song I am currently listening to. It is by Ke$ha...she is a recent favorite of mine. "Blah blah blah, think you'll be gettin this? Na na na. Not in the back of my car car car." So touching, right? Anyway, its good for a dance party.

Now that I have given in and agreed to blog, I guess I should talk about my life a little bit. I just moved to Charleston, South Carolina about three weeks ago. I am working for a bridal gown and bridesmaid dress designer, the company is called LulaKate. I am LOVING Charleston. This city fits me really well. I am so glad that I decided to pick up and move here...but I miss my friends. Anyone want to come to Charleston!?!?!?
