I'm Alison, a homeschooling mom, lifestyle blogger, yoga instructor, and Long Beach native sharing our family's adventures in Southern California.
This blog has grown right alongside me over the years. What started as a place to share my adventures in fitness, food, and travel has evolved into a space where I document our family's everyday moments from homeschooling and motherhood to family-friendly adventures, local Southern California guides, travel inspiration, and the little things that make this season of life so special.
Whether you're looking for homeschool encouragement, pregnancy and motherhood tips, the best parks and family activities, or ideas for your next getaway, I hope you find something here that inspires you and makes life just a little easier.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm so happy you're here!
Feel free to say hello or shoot me a note any time — I love connecting with fellow moms, homeschoolers, and adventure seekers :)
Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured. - BKS Iyengar
Though I will always be a student of yoga first and foremost, it brings me great joy to share the practice of yoga through teaching as well. I started practicing while in college (2011) and completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Jenn Bobbitt at Yoga Centre in March of 2014. Since then, I have taught Vinyasa and Hatha-based classes at the Yoga Centre SLO and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, as well as community classes at lululemon, and corporate fitness classes at Google and around the bay area. I completed a CorePower C2 Intensive training in summer 2018 and taught weekly classes at the SF Financial District location for over a year.
With a background in anatomy and physiology, I have a strong appreciation for the positive effects yoga can have on your health and your life -- not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually too. To explore some of the endless benefits of a yoga practice, check out my schedule below and make sure to visit my Fit page for pose how-to’s, videos, and more.
