Welcome to another edition of why my weekend was totally wonderful. (and I sincerely hope yours was too!)
On Saturday I traveled down to St. Petersburg, Fl to spend some time with the beautiful ladies of Yoga Moves, as they embark on a new journey in their studio: Aerial Yoga.

We spent the day exploring the benefits (and flat out fun!) of introducing aerial yoga into your established yoga practice.
I'll be doing a full review on my experience of the aerial yoga workshop soon, but it was an amazing experience I would suggest to any yoga lover.
Since it was Saturday, I was excited to visit the downtown farmer's market, during the break between the workshop's two, 2 hour long sessions.
The St. Pete Farmer's Market is one of the best I've seen in Florida. It is a mix of farmer's market, art show, and food festival, all set to to tune of live bluegrass.
After drooling over all the wonderful options, and reminding myself I still had 2 more hours of flying ahead of me...
...I ended up choosing a Mixed Vegetable Empanada and a Raspberry Iced Tea, which I enjoyed in the shade of a beautiful oak tree, in a park across from the St. Pete Harbor.
One of the things I miss most about St. Petersburg is all the beautiful parks and green spaces. So relaxing and perfect on a sunny, fall day.
After a second amazing session of freeing "anti-gravity" yoga, Tara, Denise and I, along with a few other attendees of the workshop headed down to Bangkok Thai for dinner.
This was just icing on the cake for me, since Bangkok Thai is one of my favorite Thai restaurants, anywhere.
I happily devoured an order of Nam Sod (a spicy ground chicken "salad"), plus a Yummy Roll (sweet potato and avocado with eel sauce) and the Futomaki Roll (krab, tamago, asparagus, carrot, radish and cucumber) while chatting away about yoga, travel, high schoolers and Facebook, relationships, cruises and fur coats. It was a blast!
A day in St. Pete is always worth the 6 hours of driving in my opinion. A HUGE thanks again to the ladies of Yoga Moves for such a great day!
Love to all,
~the, "flying high" on life gal, Jess

I love the aerial yoga article. Will be checking them out! I would love to introduce you to Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT). It is "The deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet!" I have the bars installed at my massage clinic, Touch Massage, Inc. It is a barefoot massage, gliding with consistent, soothing pressure down the entire length of your body. There is more even pressure because you use you feet and body (balancing by holding the bars over head), and control the movements and pressure. It is absolutely fabulous! I would love to share!
