Must have OMcandy Jewelry and the NEW line of 'Liquid Flow' Tanks!!
written by: Sarah Finn

Here I am wearing one of my favorite pairs of Ashley Reid's OmCandy hoops with gold bird shaped beads hanging down. I wear these (and all my omcandy) when I teach and when I dress up- they flow well with an active hip lifestyle. These pieces are so cool and look earthy yet funky and fun! Ashley's parent company Clewis Reid is an eco-friendly take on fashion - www.clewisreid.com. All her pieces have gold filled clasps, are long lasting, and easy to wear with all your fav pieces. Get yours today!
I have decided to blend my two loves: yoga and comfortable effective fashion into one great line of shirts called "Liquid Flow". The shirt itself will be the soft alternative apparel burnout material we all know and love and the sayings will be consistent with what you are hearing on your mat and what you want to continue to flow with on the street! They will have sayings like: shift happens, grace. , centered, and more!! We look forward to introducing the line early December. Call now to reserve yours as first batch is a small order!!

Why I am addicted to lululemon.....

Hi, my name is Beth, and I am a lululemon addict. I simply can not get enough! From Groove Pants to Shape Jackets, Scoop Neck Tanks to Crops, Bags, Hats, Pocket Puffys, you name it... I LOVE lululemon!! It all began at my first major teacher training with Baron Baptiste. After a grueling 3 hour practice, I was a sopping mess, my cotton crops and tank were clinging to me, drenched with sweat, practically falling off. But somehow, the majority of the room still looked put together in their super cute yoga gear. How could this be? Then I noticed thier gear all had the same omega-like symbol, where did they get these magic clothes?? In asking around I learned this ultra exclusive line based out of Canada, could only be bought in lululemon stores, the closest to me being 800 miles away. I was determined to get my hands on some of these fantastic clothes! Thanks to some friends on the West Coast, I blindly bought my first lulu crops and tank. From the moment I put them on, I was hooked. The first thing I loved was how small they made my butt look!! Amazing! And the luon fabric really hugs your body with no visible lumps and bumps. Then I practiced in them and thought I must be dreaming! The pants don't ride down (no more worries about your crack showing in down dog!) and the tanks don't ride up exposing your belly, but the best is they wick all the moisture off your body so you aren't a sopping mess after a heated class! You can actually stop in Whole Foods on the way home with out looking like you peed your pants:) Very important to a girl who spends 99% of her time in yoga gear. The colors are bright and fresh, the designs flattering, even a little sexy, they make you feel like a million bucks! Most pants are reversible (2 for the price of 1!) and every piece I have ever owned is still in prime condition, no shrinking, no fading, no pilling! lululemon is an investment in your health, one you will not regret. You will WANT to go workout just to wear these clothes! You will love the 4 way stretch, moisture wicking, flat seamed, super cute line. And, lets be honest, pants that make your booty look this great? They are worth every single penny!! Come see why I love lululemon and start your addiction today at Charleston Power Yoga! New lulu just dropped, and it won't last long.

Teacher Training in Park City, Utah with Baron Baptiste!!! What an amazing journey of surrender, strength, sweat, and flexibility in mind, body, and soul. Allison Zimmerman, Angela Finley, and myself (Sarah Finn) all had the pleasure of traveling up to beautiful Park City, Utah last week to move and shake things up with Baron and his team of wonderful assistants. The City is so beautiful , earthy, and coooool! Baron kept things heated and fun... we learned how to "stay liquid" while still be rooted and grounded in our space. The biggest take-away for me was about surrender... after the 12th full wheel and 157th time jumping into handstands it finally hit me.. "stop trying to guess whats coming next and control things... ride this wave... be here now.. and surrender into the energy that is! Its not a "work-out" but a "work-in"... I had more energetic shifts in my body in this one weekend then I have had in the past year...no joke! AMAZING!". Allison says her "intention is to inspire the students to come to class and find true health and sense of wholeness. And my biggest take away is "if you can, you MUST!" and "If not now, when? If not you, who?" And the frog kicks for Handstand!! Loved them!! =)"!!! Angela really resonated with all the inspiring talk of breath and letting go... she too loved all the challenging 3 hour practices and the sweat and flow that came with them! For MORE come check out our classes at CPY... sure to inspire and lift you up and out of your comfort zone and into a place where energetic shifts happen organically! See ya on the mat!
