A rush this morning to get from one appointment to the next, a moment to breathe before a brunch date, followed by a hike around Colliery Dam, the perfect prerequisite for the day.

Hoping the sun would make an appearance, it finally does as soon as I get home. I should be on the patio in the sun but my sunglasses are downstairs. Instead I am listening to 90s rock and realizing how long ago that was. Where did the time go?! I love how music can just take you back to a certain time in your life.

There's nothing better than hiking around the island, breathing in the crisp air, getting lost on the trails, saying hello to the puppies, sharing, laughing and enjoying the beauty of the scenery around us. Spring has sprung! Join me this Sunday April 1st @ 930am for our first Yoga Hike of 2018! Register through Nanaimo's Activity Guide. Each week we will take a gentle hike through Nanaimo's various parks, finding a few spots along the way for some Yoga. No experience necessary, just a love of the outdoors required!

I love this time of year, there seems to be many more reasons to be outside and any excuse to getting as much sun as possible. I feel energized by the fresh air, vitamin D and warmth! Anything to keep me moving, after getting through a long winter! I seem to crave that time to get away and get out of my head. Now that it's still light out til 8, there's really no reason I couldn't be outside every night. So far I've been out for the past two days, I think I will plan to continue this pattern for the rest of the week. Guaranteed I will be out on the weekend, so just need to make sure the next two days happen.

I look forward to starting my patio garden again! Last year was pretty successful considering in the past I've killed every plant I've ever had but one. I can't wait to be eating fresh veggies again and the farmer's markets will be starting soon too! Just a few more reasons to be outside.

What has you excited for spring?!

If I don't see you out on the trails, I'll be at the studio Monday evenings and Saturday mornings!
