Relaxing in Atlanta
Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a yoga party here in the ATL. The theme of the party was Relax, Recharge, Reclaim Your Personal Time and it was sponsored by SC Johnson the makers of Off! Clip on Mosquito Spray. I truly looked forward to relaxing after the hectic pace of BlogHer '09 and since I have been out of yoga practice for awhile this party was just what the doctor ordered. The party was held at the new Palomar luxury boutique hotel which is beautiful.
The contest is open until 11:59PM EST on Monday, August 10, 2009. The contest is open to U.S. addresses only. Winner will be chosen randomly and contacted by email.
The weather was not on our side(summer thunderstorms rained down intermittently all day) so we were unable to work out al fresco on the roof top terrace but we enjoyed our comfy (dry) indoor accommodations. Our class was led by instructors from the Urban Body Studios and they were fantastic. The practice was about a half-hour, slightly challenging because we all were experienced in yoga and completely relaxing. The class was excellent and I know I am going to take advantage of the deeply discounted classes offered to all attending the party.
After the practice we ate appetizers and drinks that were to die for!
Literally. My favorite had to be the melted brie with apples, delicious! The tuna tartar was also a favorite as was the bruschetta with basil, mozzarella and tomatoes. Yummy. I have to admit that I don't remember the names of the non-alcoholic drinks we had but they were just as amazing as the food.

After great conversation we departed with a great gift bag including a travel yoga mat, a sample of Off! (which by the way works great. I use it when I am outside reading on my patio and it keeps the mosquitoes at bay.) and the bag is a reusable flip and tumble that tucks away into a little ball that you can carry in your purse. I love the flip and tumble, I have one in every bag I carry so I am never without a reusable bag when shopping!
GIVEAWAY!
Although most of you were unable to attend the party I want to share the love and am giving away a gift bag.

I like to spend a relaxing afternoon in my craft room or reading a book and feeling decadent.
I love to go in to my bedroom, light a candle, play soft meditating music and meditate! This helps me to clear my mind and recharge.
I'm already subscribed to your blog!
Morning preparation - I go into my backyard and pull veggies from the garden then I sit under the canopy and write out whatever is in my head.
Night rest - I go into my studio and turn on the little fountain on my table and work making paper or cards or read a book.
Mind you this is at 5am some mornings and 11pm some nights. It takes that long just to finish cleaning and washing dishes, etc.
Blessings

To unwind, I lay on the floor or on the bed in corpse pose (kind of morbid, I know), and let the stress fall away from me.
