by Julie Peoples-Clark, RYT | Seven years ago, I gave birth to my daughter Ella. My husband and I were so excited to be having a baby. I had a wonderful full-term pregnancy. I ate right, exercised everyday, didn’t drink alcohol, and stayed away from anyone who was smoking. My due date came and went and I was two weeks overdue when I finally went into labor…

Sure it’s still cold somewhere, but it’s warm and wonderful behind-the-scenes of our Spring 2010 catalog photo shoot…

They’re yoginis and runners, skiers, triathletes, surfers, cyclists, and the list goes on. They’re moms, wives, friends, daughters, and professionals.

For years getting to a yoga class was a trial I could not accomplish. I’d find more often than not, when I was done with cooking, cleaning and making sure my husband and son were content that classes had concluded.
