You may have seen me getting my yoga on all over Instagram this month. That was PrAna and Sweatpink’s Flex and Flow Challenge. The truth is I’m no stranger to yoga. I’ve been down dogging it at home and in studios around the world since I was a teenager. I signed up for my first yoga class at a local YMCA when I was 19 and the rest is history. When I lived overseas in England and Belgium, yoga was like a universal language. I still have friends there I met in the yoga studio.
Yoga Benefits
Yoga centers me, challenges me and reminds me to go back to my breath when life gets stressful. It’s the yin to my running yang. We all know petrified runner’s hamstrings, hip flexors and calves need some extra love.I’ve been a PrAna fan for eons both for yoga wear and street clothes. I love that PrAna has partnered with Bluesign® so I’m assured the fabrics meet the highest safety and environmental standards. This means PrAna’s manufacturing process is free of harsh chemicals that could pollute the air and water supply.
I had a chance to test out Prana’s Quinn top. How cute is this blue? It’s super soft and comfy. I put it to the test with some inversions. It’s been awhile since I did either of these…
…and it was the first time I ever tried these. You just never know what your body is capable of unless you try.

Prana gear is pretty cute. Lucky me I’m just hoping to be able to enjoy my pre-pregnancy fitness gear again by this summer! It’ll be like all my old stuff is NEW. Some of it I put away in a tub and haven’t seen in over 10 months – so I might not even remember all that I have. lol
