Restorative Yoga Treat

happy sunday bloggie friends!  i wanted to share this restorative yoga clip from tara stiles.  when i'm super stressed, need to clear my mind or just feeling pretty chill, i love to indulge in some restorative yoga.  i'm very drawn to power yoga and vinyasa, but variety is the spice of life and sometimes restorative just hits the spot! 

i'm feeling pretty amazing tonight because i literally taught yoga all weekend and got to do everything from active vinyasa to gentle yoga to deep stretching and relaxation yoga. total bliss.  tonight is the survivor finale and while i may very well be the only person left that watches this show, i just love it!  i have popcorn all ready to go!

excited much?

before bed tonight, grab some pillows and a fluffy blanket and enjoy this totally indulgent treat!
