About Me

Feeling blessed to be able to share the joys of yoga all day🙏🏼. And now here is a #tbt yoga picture because I am tired AF and cannot he brought to take a new one. ( 📷: @joncarrollphotography)

A huge congratulations to MyLinh & Jimmy on their marriage and the classiest, most gangsta wedding eva. #itsgettinHAinherre
Over the past 6 weeks I have had the immense honor of leading CorePower Yoga's Extensions Teacher Training Program - a sort of graduate program for newly certified yoga instructors. With a stellar group of trainees, most of which I coached through their original 200-hour certification, I have had a truly wonderful experience doing this valuable work. These beautiful, powerful women showed up every session hungry and ready to learn, to advance, and to find the best ways to share their yoga with the world. I am so proud of the work they have done, all they have accomplished, and the light filled beings that they are, ready to go out into the world and teach. This program has again affirmed that part of my calling is to teach yoga and to help educate new teachers and I am so grateful to continue to be given opportunities to do so.
A huge thank you to the CPY Management Team for entrusting me to lead such a deepening program. A gigantic thank you to Alexa Rodell for being the best possible partner to facilitate this program with - I love you so much! And lastly, a huge thank you to the new teachers in this photo whom I am so proud of and love. Go forth and spread your light omies! Namaste!

The theme of this week has been “Enlightened Italian”! With that, my dinners have been a clean twist on Chicken Piccata along with Zoodles, Asparagus, & Tomatoes!
Recipes below + tip for keeping Zoodles firm rather than watery! 🍋
🍋
🍋
Chicken Piccata:
-4-6 Chicken breast tenders
-Zest of a lemon
-Juice of 2 lemons
-1/4 vegetable stock
-2 tablespoons capers, drained & rinsed
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1 tablespoon garlic powder
-1 salt & pepper -2 tablespoons parsley, chopped *Pound chicken tenders thin. Season both sides with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the garlic powder.
*Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove from pan.
*Pour in the stock, lemon juice, and zest. Use a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
*Add Chicken back into the liquid.
*Add capers.
*Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. *Plate the chicken, pour the sauce over, and sprinkle with parsley.
🍋
🍋
🍋
Zoodles:
-2 large zucchini
-1 yellow squash -1 teaspoon salt
-2 tablespoons garlic powder
-1 tablespoon dried basil
-1 teaspoon black pepper
-Pinch red pepper
-1 tablespoon olive oil *Lay Zoodles in a single layer on a sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes as the salt draws out the water. Wrap Zoodles in a dish towel and squeeze the mother f***ing hell out of the zoodles to get as much water out as possible.
*Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
*Add the zoodles, pepper, red pepper, basil, and garlic powder. Sauté 3-4 minutes till warm.
*Serve as is or mix with asparagus and tomatoes like I did! *Eat!

If you’re not doing yoga this Saturday, you’re doing it wrong!
I’ve got all sorts of options for you:
I’m subbing 9:30am C3 for the amazing @matthasaninsta!
Then I’m teaching my normal 11am C2.
Then my trainees are teaching a FREE C1 Community class at 2pm which I’ll be overseeing!
All at CorePower Yoga Huntington Beach.
I hope to see you on your mat 🙏🏼
