It's almost a four letter word. But sometimes trust can be so intimidating and uncomfortable that we choose to avoid it. Since the start of the new year I have been asking my yoga students (as well as myself) to trust themselves on and off the mat. It's not a simple ask and I don't expect …

Stir-fry Sunday
The weekend is winding down and the kitchen is heating up. This simple stir-fry has been a go-to-meal since college. No two are ever exactly the same, but they are all delicious and soul-warming. Sauté some garlic and onions with a little bit of oil. Or, if you prefer to avoid oil you can use …
Dining Out While Cleansing
Today was day 2 of the cleanse and so far so good. The suggested guidelines for the first week include, removing flour and sugar from your diet and adding a green juice in the morning. Yesterday, when I would have normally reached for some cereal as a snack, I simply satisfied my urge with some peanuts. But yesterday …
Greening in the New Year
Happy New Year! 4 years ago to the day I started this very blog. Every day of 2012 I took a moment to share what I was feeling, eating, doing or not doing. It was a time when I was discovering my love of running and exploring my new home in the Bay Area. Since that year of …
It Only Took 28 Years
Well, to be honest, for the first three it would have been impossible to hold a golf club let alone swing it. However, now that I am reaching the end of my twenties (oy, where did the time go), I have finally given into my father's passion for golf. Believe it or not the first …

Boo!
I hope I didn't scare you. I know I haven't written in a long time so I hope my presence back on my blog isn't too startling. Life's been busy in this part of the world. Not only have I been writing blog posts all day for the start up I currently work for (if …
Where have I been
Let's just say that when you are blogging all day for someone else, coming home to write your own blog takes a back seat. For the past few weeks I have been settling into my internship at a tech startup (www.tipranks.com) writing daily posts about news in the finance world and coming up with clever …
Happy Birthday To Me
25 A year full of struggles, patience and triumph 26 A year starting with new beginnings, smiles and opportunity Last year was an important year of growth and this year I will continue to grow, but on my terms. Day one of 26 included plenty of delicious food, signing a lease to settle into our …
I am Jordan Faigen, and this was the longest day of my life
1.5 TV shows watched, 45 minutes of yoga practiced, 1 sunrise watched, 2 Israeli egg breakfasts cooked to perfection, and hundreds of steps taken all before 9 a.m this morning. Let's just say that our jet lag lacked the lagging aspect at 3:30 a.m. So with an early start we were off apartment hunting in order …
