We had an interesting comment come through on a Facebook post a few weeks back. It read like this: “ As an aging athlete, my mind still thinks I’m in my 20s, but my body reminds me at all points I’m 55. I simply can’t do what I used to be able to do and …
The best strategy for foam rolling your IT band? Don’t do it. Just stop. Man, that was easy! But enough of this negative talk – let’s move on to HOW you might be able to address IT band problems better with a foam roll and WHY smashing your IT band directly isn’t a good idea. …
DURING A YOGA CLASS I OFTEN ASK MY STUDENTS TO BEGIN THEIR PRACTICE BY SETTING AN INTENTION. This intention should reflect the best of what life has to offer.

I have the great pleasure of introducing another #FindYourWhy post by Ryan Pierce. Ryan and I have been best friends ever since the bowl cut was cool… Ryan is a wanderlust at heart, and one of (if not THE) most adventurous people I’ve ever known.
