pilates!!!

hi my friends!  hope you are doing well today wherever you are, taking time out of your day to nourish your mind, body, and soul!  today i went out to breakfast with my sister and janice, the sweetest lady she takes care of.  after we went on a walk at butterfly beach, dropped jan off, and then headed over to la playa pilates for a work out!

so kate and i took a KICK ASS pilates mat class at la playa in montecito with colleen!  man it was rough!!  but so good :)  just what i needed after a few days without an intense work out.  i don't think i've ever worked my abs so hard- it was incredible.  i felt like i might collapse at times, but the euphoria and feelings of well being afterwards were well worth it.  

  

col and i post class :)  feelin' good!

colleen has been kate and i's bff for about 20 years now.  so awesome! so much love!

colleen was actually the person that inspired me to start teaching yoga.  she is such an awesome teacher and an admirable athlete.  i feel so lucky to be so close with her, it is an honor.

taking care of business at the lil office after class!  cute!

col's sweet sweet ride.  she bikes from her house to work!  

gorgeous and lusciously fragrant wisteria growing outside the studio. mmmmm!!

after pilates whooped me colleen, kate, and i decided to take our exercise even further.  we went on a perfect and blissful run at hendry's beach.  it was sooo windy but very enjoyable :)  .  now we are all making dinner together and about to chow down!  

i am loving this break from my everyday life, i could get used to this!  i miss my man and liam, but i also feel so fortunate that i have such gifts from the divine waiting for me when i get home :).  what a wonderful life!
