It’s like there’s a cardinal rule that if the first session gets rained out, the rain check will be twice as beautiful as you could have hoped for in the first place.

Catherine and Michael have been wonderfully loyal clients who happen also to dish out great travel advice. They were the impetus behind the Crazy Bitches’ stop in Tofino (go if ever you get the chance), and are currently on a two-week road trip with their dogs in a pop-up camper which is about as awesome as it gets in my book.
I always loved taking yoga classes with Josie, not just because I like the way she teaches, but also because she radiates coolness. She just opened a new studio in Columbus; if you’re in the area be sure to check out Thank Yoga.
