To answer this statement I first have to answer, where is home? Growing up, home consisted of the house I grew-up in and my immediate family. But, now that I have reached my mid/late twenties (I'm not letting go of that "mid" just yet), I have created several different homes and my family has grown. Two weeks ago I left …
Author: Jordan
Hi, my name is Jordan, and I am a 29 year-old yogi. At the start of this blog I was a half marathoner, and while I may not be running around anymore, I still have plenty of steps to take, so come join me :)
Namaste
Ok, so it's been a while since I checked in on your progress this March. And, believe it or not, today is the last day of the March Meditation Challenge! It has been 31 days since I proposed this mental and physical assignment, and now it's time to see how you did... Personally, I can't …
Meditation March – Day 8
If gold stars were still given out in adulthood then I would already have 8! Every day since last Saturday I have incorporated yoga into my daily schedule. I have attended three vinyasa yoga classes at my gym, completed 4 yoga classes via the internet, and added 15 minutes of sun salutations, poses, and binds, …
March: a Month of Meditation
March first. The first day, of the third month of the year. What better day than today to start a monthly challenge? I have decided that March shall be the month where I practice yoga every single day. This doesn't mean that I will be spending hours each day bound in warrior two, but I …
Getting My Sweat On
...in the living room. Yes, sometimes time for the gym is not a luxury I have, and other times, I am just tired of working out on the same old machines. So, that is when I grab my trusty yoga mat, some tunes, and my Pinterest board to do some home workouts. I usually like to …
Spin Cycle
I am a runner. Or, well, I was more of a runner before the accident, but I still love running. However, I have been advised by my doctors and family to not run at all due to the high likelihood of damaged cartilage and inevitable arthritis. So, while I still hit the pavement about once …
Taco Night
Spicy salsa, crunchy shells and velvet guacamole - sounds like a typical taco night. However, here in Israel taco nights are few and far between, replaced with Mediterranean flavors and lots of fried chickpeas (aka Falafel). Over the weekend, the itch for Mexican flavors was satisfied with a homemade spread of dips, chips and tacos. …
Jordan’s Day
No, it's not my birthday. But, today was a day devoted to simply doing things I enjoy. For the first time in a long time I had a day completely to myself where I wasn't working and responsibilities were shrugged to the side. To begin with, I went for a long walk to the outdoor …
Sabotage
Sabotage is the name of the game and I get caught up in it for more rounds than I would like. I'm not talking about deleting someone else's file to get ahead at work, or even letting the air out of someone's bike tires to make him or her late, I'm talking about self-sabotage. You …
You’ve Got Mail
Sometimes you live in a far away land. Sometimes you enjoy living in said far away land, but also miss your loved ones. And, sometimes you enjoy living in said far away land and simply ache for some Ziploc bags. That's where the loved ones come in. My dear family put together a care package …
