![]() The act of taking away all that we know, all our habits (even unknown to us) in the hot room, taking away the mirror and lighting the inner flame…or, maybe just enjoying being in nature ). There was something so honest about taking our practice from the bright lights and hot sweaty room that we are used to and into a more quiet, natural and in the end, a MORE self reflective place. Practicing yoga outside was such a different experience from our usual juice box, and we all learned some amazing things about our practice through the week. Everything from our accomodation to our yoga classes was so wonderful, it was hard to leave! We practiced yoga outside, in the garden, with the palm trees to shade us from the morning sun and the sound of the ocean’s waves to guide our breath through the practice. ![]() We had 5 yogis join us, to make a group of 8 for the week. Our first yoga vacation to Troncones Bay was AMAZING!! We had SUCH a great and amazing time, we are so excited about the NEXT ONE!!! (more on that later…) You are already so much more warmed up to begin with, imagine what will be possible now!! And, of course, as we all have heard and all know for ourselves, everything we do in our yoga practice will help with EVERYTHING you do outside of the yoga room-all of your biking, swimming, running, hiking, driving, swinging, playing…etc…will benefit from your stretched out body and relaxed state of mind □ In the spring and summer, as the temperature OUTside is so much WARMER, you come into the yoga class already more loose and limber than before. ![]() It takes several minutes to just start to thaw out and get the joints and muscles loosened enough to start to feel better. In the winter time, you come into the yoga room with sore tight COLD muscles. The sun comes out, the weather warms up and we all want to take off our winter layers and GET OUTSIDE!!! As it starts to get hotter and hotter and the outside temp is turning up, it can be hard to get motivated to go in the HOT yoga room…but in fact, this is the BEST time to maintain your practice! You worked hard all fall and winter to stretch out your sore, tight cold body…now is the time to keep up the flexibility and strength you built up over the months of your diligent practice and continue on the upward path! You want to get out there this summer and use your strong body, so make sure you also give your body the stretching and relaxation that it needs…not to mention the calm mind and the slew of mental benefits we all receive from the practice! So…it’s this time of year that people start to question their attendance for yoga through the spring and summer…so we thought we would just jot down a few things about your yoga practice throughout the seasons and the year and how your next season can be impacted based on what you do now!! Whew! In all truth, we got off pretty easy this winter, the weather wasn’t too bad and, of course, we had our beloved juice box to keep us HOT all season long!

Get your tickets at any of the locations for $5 per ticket. Juice Box Yoga will be doing another raffle for your chance to win amazing prizes with all proceeds donated to Boxers and Buddies. However, the event is already sold out! But that doesn’t mean you can’t still help out Boxers and Buddies. This Saturday, the two organizations have partnered up for Puppy Yoga. Kaci Janson, the foster coordinator and spokesperson for Boxers and Buddies, and Amanda Christenhusz, the adoption and event coordinator, joined Bordner on the show to talk about their foster-based rescue operation. One of the ways she does that is by partnering with local non-profits like Boxers and Buddies, based in Virginia City, to raise awareness and money for their causes. She stopped by Morning Break to share her passion for getting small business owners involved in the community. However, founder Tanya Bordner is just as interested in giving back to the community as she is in helping people get into shape.
