This is the first yoga studio I ever visited. It was Stillwater Yoga in Atlanta and my teacher was Kathleen Pringle. She planted the seed for me to be a life-long learner of Iyengar Yoga. I took this photo during one of my last visits before this special space closed. I’m grateful for it, along with […]
The courage to teach
I took a long break of teaching yoga since Covid hit. Parenting four kids in a pandemic was a full-time job, plus some more. While studios across the country offered Zoom classes and eventually opened back up with various mask policies and social distancing. I just wasn’t ready for that. I was giving everything I had […]
Being a runner again
It still sounds strange to think of myself as a runner again. I haven’t defined myself as a runner since before I had kids. But I loved it then, Walkman and all. Last month I found out I love it again. I was fine taking my daily walks. Until I felt the need to be more […]
A summer spent in the water, being brave
One positive thing about Covid was we spent a lot of time outside and at the beach. By Summertime we were ready to travel beyond the beach and mountains where we had family to visit. Since our 20 countries in 20 years Scandinavian wedding anniversary trip, we had to postpone a scheduled trip to Cuba as well as […]
Rebecca’s Yoga Schedule
The doors to my home yoga studio are open again. It’s a beautiful space that I’m grateful to have and grateful to share. If you live in Knoxville and are interested in joining a yoga class or scheduling a private session, I’d love to hear from you. Class offerings at my home studio. Thursday at 9:30 […]
Reykjavik, Iceland
We flew in and out of Iceland for our Scandinavian trip mainly because Iceland Air offers the cheapest flights in and out of Europe. Especially when booking a last minute trip in July. So from Sweden, we went back to Reykjavik for two nights before flying home. On our first stay in Iceland we did not visit […]
Stockholm, Sweden
Sweden was our 20th country visited for our 20 Countries in 20 Years Anniversary Trip. Traveling with four children presents it’s own unique challenges but we find it worth every penny to experience this life with our children. Prioritizing experiences over things has become a way of life for us. I envy young families becoming […]
Tallinn, Estonia
One of the reasons I love my husband and we’ve been married 20 years, is because when I say things like, “Hey honey lets go to Estonia this summer.” He says, “Okay!” And he knows I’ll really do it! So just like that, an overnight ferry to Estonia was added to our last minute Scandinavian […]
Copenhagen, Denmark
Flying out of Faroe Islands offered five options of destinations to visit next. Since my goal for our 20 Countries in 20 Years Trip was visiting four new counties, while avoiding peak travel crowds in July and European heat with no AC, Copenhagen was the perfect next destination. Planning a trip with four children ranging in ages from 3-14 requires strategic actions to meet […]
Faroe Islands
In the last five years the Faroe Islands has had a 10 percent increase in tourism each year. They are in the beginning stages of navigating how to welcome people on their remote soil where generations are used to having the mountains to themselves, and how to control how many people they want to welcome to this untouched […]
