That is until, about a year ago now, I received an email from Go Light Our World Founder, Kayla Nielsen, that would change everything.

GLIDE SUP: A COMPANY WITH CONSCIENCE

I really dig the fact that Glide is so concerned about reducing (and reversing) the impact that board manufacturing has on the planet. It is a company that is constantly driven to keep searching for newer and better processes and products in order to reduce their carbon footprint as much as possible.

LIVING MY YOGA

LIVING MY YOGA

Yoga is: stretching, breathing, meditating, union of the body,mind and soul… And while these answers are not necessarily wrong, through my own practice I’ve come to learn that yoga is so much more.

LET'S GET ROLLING

LET'S GET ROLLING

After that one Tuesday morning Class, I don’t think I ever looked at a foam roller the same way again. I had to have a roller for my home. Rolling needed to become a part of my daily routine.
