Nostalgic for the Yucatan – Spin and Life
https://spinandlife.wordpress.com/2016/11/28/nostalgic-for-the-yucatan
Unexpected life lessons from spin class. Nostalgic for the Yucatan. I’m shifting gears on my spin blog for a few posts. In writing my last two posts, I felt a strong nostalgia for a recent vacation two weeks driving through the Yucatan. The trip in a few stills:. Skeleton motifs were everywhere. This one was far and away my favourite. Why? Just look at it. It’s a gleeful skeleton! It upends most people’s conception of macabre. Mayan ruins in the city of Tulum. The Ek Balam ruins. Permissible to climb...

https://spinandlife.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/lesson-5-in-spin-and-in-life-be-more-like-marisa-and-enjoy-whats-in-front-of-you
Unexpected life lessons from spin class. Lesson #5: Be more like Marisa – enjoy what’s in front of you. My dear friend Marisa has been my spin partner since the outset. She spurred my interest in the class, and after each workout we spend an hour or more hanging out over dinner. I love her approach to life humble, honest, extremely kind, and positively cheeky with her humour. She’s one of the most endearing and lovable people I know. December 11, 2016.

Comfort food still has its place in a balanced world – Spin and Life
https://spinandlife.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/comfort-foods-still-have-their-place-in-a-balanced-world
Unexpected life lessons from spin class. Comfort food still has its place in a balanced world. This blog began as part of a class assignment and it turned into something quite meaningful for me. I’ve enjoyed writing about spin class and probing my thoughts to surface life lessons. In my profile, I introduce myself as having mild anxiety, a very loud laugh, and being pretty convinced that I’m on my ninth and last life. There’s a spillover effect, you start to think about mind-body balance outside of class...

Spin and the Yucatan – Spin and Life
https://spinandlife.wordpress.com/2016/12/10/spin-and-the-yucatan
Unexpected life lessons from spin class. Spin and the Yucatan. Spin classes, much like vacations, help me decompress. It puts me in a playful space a little like my silly voice in this video. This video was taken on a beach in Tulum. When on that spectacular beach, I was transfixed on my surroundings, taking in the waves, the sky, the sand. Even as I write, I’m remebering what I felt on that beach – completely overtaken in the moment and absent of any other thought or worry. December 10, 2016. December 1...

Unexpected life lessons from spin class. Lesson #4: One must make time for spin and other rewarding, non-essentials! If you’ve been following my posts, you’ll know I’m a fan of spin. It is in part the class itself the music, the dark room with strobe lights, and an electrifying instructor. My fondness is also in big part connected to what I learn from spin. There are a few lessons of note that I’ll retell here. In Spin and Life, we are the masters of our own tension. Excerpt from post 3. December 11, 2016.

https://spinandlife.wordpress.com/2016/11/27/72
Unexpected life lessons from spin class. Lesson #3: In Spin and Life, Keep Your Head Up. It depresses me when I see your head down. Lesson #3: In Spin and Life, one must keep her head up, even when things get hard. It was a remarkable trip in which I learned how much I needed to still my mind, particularly at that time. A significant part of the trip was spent vegetating, meditating, relinquishing to the sun and surf (board omitted). November 27, 2016. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
