Do any of you guys know more details about holistic medicine?

Are there nutritional aspects to it? Do you know any colleges? Or just a basic overview of the whole thing and jobs that come along with it? I’m so interested I just never even looked into it before now. Basically any information you guys can pass along, I’d be grateful for.

im sorry if i offended you with the college question! ): I did not mean it offensively at all! I know people can make a living and I was just curious because making enough money to love off of from being a yoga instructor is like my dream.

i didn’t take it offensively don’t worry! :) everyone always says how yoga doesn’t pay enough- but, those people who say that are usually the ones who have never downdog-ed in their lives. what do they know? good luck with your future as well then! hopefully we’ll both find good opportunities.

what is the dining dead?

you know those bored couples you see in restaurants? the ones that have clearly lost their spark? maybe they’re older, with their couple of toddlers. the couples that look completely miserable just to be sitting where they are. the ones that don’t talk. the ones that clearly force conversation just so it’s not so unfortunately quiet. the pity smiles, and the looks of exhaustion. you can clearly tell whatever they once had is diminished. i think you know what i’m talking about by now. i notice them almost every time i go out to eat… and i will never let myself get like that.

claireruns replied to your post: if you are only going to community, then what do you want to do when you are older? you cant really make enough money by being a yoga teacher. :/

Uh….yoga teachers, if popular, make a fair amount of money, actually.

oh my god right? i can’t even imagine how much teachers like kathryn and tara are able to make. they get paid to do all those fabulous retreats in beautiful locations. they completely deserve the success though, they give SO much! it’s inspirational! :)

doing what you love will always bring anyone more happiness and prosperity than money.

i completely agree with you. i always say that i would rather be struggling doing something that brings me happiness than stuck doing something i dislike. money is important, but it’s not everything.

don't let stupid anons tell you what you can't do. i wish you the best of luck with whatever path you do decide to take and hope you successfully achieve your dreams no matter how big :)

i don’t think they we’re telling me what to do exactly, but thank you! <3 i believe that if you really want something, you will get it eventually if you work hard enough. yoga is the one thing i care enough about to pursue with my whole heart, and i can only hope everything works out in my future. :)

i have no idea! i have some ideas, like everyone else. but, nothing is definite. i personally think it’s kind of silly how teenagers are supposed to know what they want to do with their lives when we are so young. i’m hoping to get lucky and have a successful enough yoga career to support myself in the future. i am interested in nutrition though, and i love helping people improve their lives. i would LIKE to get a degree in that just so i have that to support me so people will take me seriously, you know. i’ll figure it out eventually…

(not that I don't love your blog the way it is now! but..) I loved when you would talk a lot about your recovery! And I completely understand if that is something you feel is behind you now and you don't want to talk about it. It's your blog! but I was just wondering where you are in that sense. Do you think you are recovered? or is it still hard for you sometimes?

i know, i haven’t been posting much just because i feel like i’ve been in the same place for quite a while now. i definitely am not fully recovered, but my mentality has progressed so much. i still worry about calories, eating enough, and eating too much. but, i’m trying hard to let all that go everyday. it’s definitely still hard for me, some days harder than others. i get through it though!

i like that you have never taken a group yoga class. there is a lot to be said about singular practices. i love doing yoga by myself, i can keep my own pace and there are absolutely no distractions. also i spend most of my money on food (health food is expensive) and gas. yoga classes can never quite squeeze into my budget and i have felt badly about this for a long time. thank you

i love it! i’m really independent, and i hate following rules. so i enjoy listening to myself and following what i feel like doing that day. there really is nothing to feel bad about! :) i don’t feel like i missed out on anything, really.

What keeps you dedicated, motivated, and happy in school, yoga, and life in general? How do you cope with stress?

i just try and focus on my goals in life, look on the bright side, and try and also find balance. nobody can be happy all the time, you know. yoga helps me with stress, but i’ve never had a problem with that.

2 questions.. first question, When you were gaining did you use to check your weight regularly and when did you stop checking, because I know that now you don't know how much you weigh. And second question, You said you do about 90 min of yoga during the day, what do you do the rest of the time?:)

I checked every week or so to make sure I was on the right track. I stopped checking when I got my period back. On weekdays when I’m not doing yoga I’m probably super tired so I like to relax and watch shows I DVR, watch movies, read, dance around because I’m cool, go on tumblr, etc. I normally would do the same on Fridays or weekends except I do hang out with friends sometimes.

Have you ever attended yoga classes?

Nope!

I've been the same weight for about 2 months now. What do you recommend I do if I want to lose 5 more pounds ?

I’m really not the person you want to ask this… I’m sorry. The only advice I can give is to just eat whole foods and find an exercise that makes you happy.
