The Importance of a Time Out

August 9, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

The Importance of a Time Out

We all know that taking time to ourselves is vital when it comes to rejuvenation of the spirit and body. Sadly, many of us don’t take our vacation time every year or we take time off only to spend that time clearing out our houses and crossing things off the “Honey Do List” that we […]

An Awesome Yogi Resource

July 25, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

An Awesome Yogi Resource

When your job involves spending several hours a day on the computer, like mine does, inevitably, your mind will occasionally wander. And when my mind begins to demand something other than the written word, I tend to cruise the web for websites that promote my other interests, like yoga of course! And, when writing for […]

Are you into yoga for two?

Are you into yoga for two?

Hello all! It’s good to be back to yogaflavoredlife.com! I took a month off in order to take a summer course for my masters degree in writing, so life has been manic and hectic, only to be soothed by the power of my pen and the occasional yoga class. It seems that in the soothing, […]

Yoga For Kids!

June 13, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Yoga For Kids!

Okay, I admit that it seems weird that I’ve recently written a post on yoga for dogs, and then the yoga for kids post follows after. But hey, we write what we know and I’m a dog owner and not yet a parent! Anyways, we all know how great yoga is for adults but the […]

Forgiveness

June 6, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Forgiveness

The last sentence of my previous post got me to thinking about forgiveness, and how I often find myself relatively incapable of it, both when it comes to myself and those who might have hurt me or the people I love. In short, I hold a mean grudge, despite knowing it really isn’t a good […]

All the Extras…Do We Need Them?

May 23, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

All the Extras…Do We Need Them?

Straps, bags, sweat-wicking clothing, toe socks (with grips no less), blocks, cushions and mats have all become tools of the yoga trade. Every corner we walk on seems to have a new yoga store selling wares to both new and experiences practitioners, and I’ve even taken to writing about many of them who make amazing […]

Could I Be a Yoga Warrior Instructor?

April 20, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Could I Be a Yoga Warrior Instructor?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Yoga Warriors, a practice designed for people suffering from PTSD, and Nicole Taylor, the only trained instructor in all of Canada. Nicole, as it turns out, has become a part of our family in a very short period of time, with my father now proving to be one […]

Will Yoga Help You Catch Some Zzzs?

April 11, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

Will Yoga Help You Catch Some Zzzs?

I am quite possibly the worst bed partner anyone could ever hope to have. I am a painfully light sleeper, am woken by the tiniest of sounds and wake up a million times a night, my mind restless with thoughts (combined with a tiny bladder). It also takes me eons to finally slip into slumber […]

The Power of Visualization

March 28, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

photo credit: ariefhary As of late, my Grave’s disease symptoms have returned with a vengeance and I’ve been feeling quite sick. I’ve learned through my yoga practice that the power of visualization can be vital to my body’s ability to heal. Now, I’ll admit to being a little skeptical about this. With the number of […]

So Many To Choose From!

March 21, 2012 by Kelly Thompson

photo credit: hang_in_there Recently, a friend of mine was over at my house, flipping through my (bizarrely organized) book of DVDs, when she came across my section of yoga videos. “How many do you need?” she asked, with an annoyed look on her face. (Needless to say, she is not a yoga buff.) She pointed […]
