On Commitment… Sort Of.

Posted on: May 8th, 2015 by Amelia

I am eating sweet potatoes and they are only halfway cooked. Oh the irony. Brent is the chef in this little family, but he’s at school learning to be the world’s best cinematographer, and I am here alone in this little boat, eating half cooked sweet potatoes and toying with this blog post. So this week, […]

I have it all figured out.

Posted on: May 7th, 2015 by Amelia

“I have it all figured out.” – said no one, ever. Up until about age twelve, I was pretty sure my parents had it all figured out. They managed to feed my sister and I, keep us clothed, pay for all our activities, have answers to most of our questions, and point us in the […]

Back to the Dark Side of the Moon

I’ve always been mad, I know I’ve been mad, like the most of us… Pink Floyd + Yoga =Magic. Dear Gentle reader, please scroll down and listen to the album as you read. Transport yourself to this experience. Breathe, listen, and read. Sunday. What a day. I had the pleasure of attending an incredible live […]

Confessions of a Dream Thief

Confessions of a Dream Thief

Posted on: April 28th, 2015 by Amelia

I’m a dream thief. Be careful what you share with me, because I may steal your dreams. Six years ago, at the age of twenty three, my dreams were vastly different than the dreams I harbor today. Back then, I dreamed of a big house with a nice car and a high-paying, high-powered, high-status job. […]

Best of North County Party

Posted on: April 16th, 2015 by Amelia

Though I live the mellow beach yoga lifestyle today, I didn’t always have such a zen and healthy groove… and I gotta tell you, the party girl in me is still alive and well! So I’m stoked that San Diego magazine is throwing the Best of North County Party next week. (And I want to […]

Spring is in full swing, and summer is right around the corner. That means full-on travel mode for this wandering yogini – and the time to figure out exactly what are my Stoked Yogi travel essentials. Our summer season means traveling all over the U.S., spreading the SUP Yoga love far and wide as the country […]

We are ONE | For the Love of Yoga

Posted on: April 8th, 2015 by Amelia

If there were a dictionary definition for the expression “labor of love,” then the video below would be shown. “We are ONE: For the Love of Yoga” is a collaboration of some of our favorite yogis in some of our favorite places, uniting breath, body, and movement in a visual expression of the meaning of […]

30 before 30

30 before 30

Posted on: April 3rd, 2015 by Amelia

30 before 30 I turn twenty-nine and a half this month, on April 11 – in one week, to be exact. Which means I have one hundred and eighty seven days until my thirtieth birthday.  I am married (quite happily) and have no children yet. I have built a company and a lifestyle that I love and […]

Desert Daze #fortheloveofyoga

Desert Daze #fortheloveofyoga

Posted on: March 15th, 2015 by Amelia

… A desert is a place without expectation. As we drove through the dark night, I looked up at the waning moon and wondered idly if this desert trip to shoot for the yoga project at 4am was really the best idea. Caffeinated yet bleary eyed, fueled by Perfect bars and coffee, I stared blankly […]

Dream It, Do It 

Posted on: March 13th, 2015 by Amelia

Death twitches my ear.   “Live,” he says, “I am coming.”   So in 2013, after being inspired by another blogger, I decided to create a list of goals and dreams I aimed to accomplish before the end of 2014.     The list sat in cyberspace, collecting cyber-dust, as I went out and lived – not according […]
