Summer’s Gettin’ Away…. And Fit Couture for Review!

Filed under: Products — webmaster @ 5:29 am

This summer is rolling by way too fast! We’re on the road now after just too much busy-ness to get into here. But our vacation has begun….

And here on vacation, let me tell you what I brought for my running/yoga wear. Two things….

These: And this:

Both items from Fit Couture.

I am over the moon for the Saratoga Shorts. They have been run in, yoga’d in, swam in our lake in, gardened in…. they do it all. Their shape and size remain intact. And I really like the cut of the wasteband. Love. Them. In fact, I am about to order another pair.

I also love their Miami II Top. I use it for running and yoga. I am blessed with fried eggs for boobs so the support for me is more than adequate. I am planning on ordering the cropped version along with the new pair of shorts as I prefer the flexibility of more of a bra type top.

There is nothing like a hot outfit for motivation…. Thanks Fit Couture!!

Baptiste… When I’m Struggling With Motivation

Filed under: Practice, Products — webmaster @ 6:04 am

When I’m having a little trouble getting a practice going myself, I turn to Baron.

I don’t have the benefit of a class nearby to depend on when I’m in need of guidance so this handy dandy set of CD’s is great in a pinch… and when I just want to merely follow rather than be thinking about what postures I want/need to come next. I just plain love this set of CD’s.

There is the 75 minute Vinyasa. It never seems like over an hour and I feel like I’ve touched on every muscle by the end.

There are a couple of shorty 20 minute practices for when I’m in need of just a little perk.

Now that I have something of a dedicated space, with a CD player, and as I continue training through the summer (after this next fun tri, half marathon second weekend in August) I plan to be using these more.

I get so tired of my own voice in my head I have to remember I’ve got a session with Baron I can always turn to….

Products: Organic Cotton Yoga Mat

Filed under: Products — webmaster @ 6:29 pm

Great for dynamic forms of yoga. The organic cotton mat from agoy allows you to regain your footing - the more moisture it absorbs, the more grip it provides.

Handwoven in India using traditional techniques this beautiful mat is made from natural organic cotton, making it naturally durable and great for absorption and cushioning. These mats feature ten unique none slip woven ridges at either end, and brightly coloured chakra dots to aid with alignment.

It also provides great cushioning and safeguards your sticky mat from wear and tear. Plus, if you happen to use mats provided by your gym or yoga centre you can pop your cotton mat over the sticky mat and you’ll feel right at home, plus, it’s machine washable – so hygienic.

Do note that they are temporarily out of stock but will be supplying them again as of August. Worth checking back and certainly, consider reserving yours today!
