Hairapy

I was in desperate need of a haircut, and I do mean desperate. The other day I got so sick of my dry, split ends that I took extreme measures and went ahead and tried to cut my own hair. Bad idea, it turned out even messier and unkempt than ever. I had been trying to grow my hair, […]

How much water do you drink?

I am sure I drink more than the “recommended” daily dosage of water per day, isn’t it something like six, 8oz glasses? I drink roughly 3 or 4 Nalgenes worth every day. If you are active, especially in this dry climate, the body just screams for water all the time! I seem to be craving it, […]

“what is Hatha Yoga” by Trishka - certified Iyengar Yoga teacher in Aspen
