A Yoga Story By: Savina Brown   “Yoga? I tried it once, but it wasn’t for me.” “Don’t you need to be flexible to do yoga? I can barely touch my toes.”   When I inquire about one’s yoga experience, I can almost always guarantee I will receive some variation of either of these responses. The funny thing is that I, myself now a yoga instructor, have even used a version of these in my pre-yoga days. We all seem to have the misconception that all yoga is the same and that you need to be some kind of Cirque du Soleil performer in order to do it. Neither of these is true! But I’ve been there, in those very shoes, and believed the same thing.   My yoga journey began in high school, taking a few classes here and there at the gym because it seemed like the “hip”...Read more

One of the hardest things to do as an athlete or just as an individual, is to always stay motivated. In fact, it is impossible. No one can stay 100% motivated every day. If you have ever met anyone that tells you this, they are lying to you. What isn’t impossible though, is to never quit. I will use the pursuit of a greater fitness through athletic performance as an example, being a competitive Welded athlete that is. There are days when I am lacing up my shoes that I just feel torn down and beat up. In fact, as I write this I am so sore and tired that it seems like a strenuous effort just to type on my keyboard. One thing I know though, is when that 1 o’clock time (workout time) comes around I know what I am going to be doing. I will be changing...Read more

Many of you know little baby Claire has come into my life recently.  Having her has been the greatest thing ever, but with being a new dad I have to reevaluate some things about my personality.  Joel knows the best, my struggles with being overly competitive.  I really hate loosing at anything.  This has been a great strength but also a great weakness.  Ever since my wrestling career ended, I have been looking for that next thing to compete at, and then competitive exercising came around.  Alvie introduced me to Welded about 5 Years ago and from that point on I was...Read more
