I'm teaching public yoga again.
⠀
Starting this week, I'll be teaching vinyasa classes at San Mateo
⠀
Saturdays @ 9:00a
⠀
It's been a while since I've taught yoga classes, and even longer teaching public classes!
⠀
I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous to get back to it. That being said, my excitement to bring a blend of strength, mobility, and playfulness to new students outweighs any of the nerves I'm feeling.
⠀
If you're already a member, come check out my class and say hi. If you're not a member, but want to drop in on one of my classes, hit me up and I can get you a guest pass.for your first time in.

I'm excited to announce my first big accomplishment along my BJJ journey - blue belt promotion!
⠀
Starting BJJ back in 2019 was my first foray into martial arts. I was always intrigued by the challenge and discipline of the sport, but for years told myself "I'd like to do that one day".
⠀
I finally made the decision to just pull the trigger and show up, and I'm so glad I did. Starting as a complete beginner was initially intimidating, but has been incredibly humbling and has helped me be a better teacher to my clients and students.
⠀
The community at was both welcoming and supportive from day 1, and with the patience and skill of our top notch instructors I've learned so much about the sport and myself... and I'm still just scratching the surface! I can't wait for many more years of honing my skills and techniques.
⠀
If you've ever considered trying BJJ and you're on the Peninsula, definitely check out 10th Planet San Mateo - you won't be disappointed.

We have been tracking the updates regarding international travel guidelines closely and due to the recent emergence of the Delta variant across several countries, we are saddened to announce that WE WILL BE POSTPONING OUR OCTOBER RETREAT
⠀
During our planning phase, we understood the possibility that a second or third wave of disease communicability could arise and much to our disappointment, this current and unpredictable resurgence has coincided with the deadline to confirm with our vendors.
⠀
We are looking forward to hosting this retreat in Summer of 2022, and the silver lining is that we have a location that may be even better suited to the requests we were receiving!
⠀
📣We need you help 📣
Your responses to the following questions will help us determine critical details (date, location, etc.) and whether to move forward with booking a property
⠀
📍LOCATION📍
Would you prefer a retreat property closer to Lisbon (more urban and historical), or Southern Portugal (walkable beach, nature, and shops)?
⠀
📅 DATES 📅
There are two potential date ranges available for consideration at this time. Please let us know if you would be interested in June 25 - July 2, 2022 or July 9 -16, 2022
⠀
💲COSTS💲
Would you prefer more shared bedroom and bathroom accommodations, or solo ensuite accommodation options?

Thank you for your understanding, and please know that we welcome your feedback as we navigate this next chapter of the TBD state of our world

1030 burpees to complete the 1K burpee challenge!
⠀
Big shoutout to some of the other Twitch fitness streamers who have completed the challenge (and have IG accounts):

This was a crazy challenge, and I don't recommend it to everybody, but sometimes it feels good to test your physical and mental limits. As I said throughout the 5-hour stream, you don't have to be inspired to do 1,000 burpees, but if you're motivated to find more movement in your life, that's a win right there!
