Little Black Back Pack

May 27, 2013 //

It all started when Libby’s husband Kevin brought her to climb Mount Washington. Libby watched her husband as he strategically packed his Northface backpack for the trip and then with ease and grace, slung the pack over his shoulder and was ready to go. Libby looked down at her cumbersome weekender tote and realized that Kevin was on to something. Now, equip with her own Northface backpack, Libby prefers to travel with this piece of luggage over anything else. Leaving her hands free to email clients, snap photos along the way or to carry her token bottle of San Pellegrino, the backpack offers a convenient way to tote your belongings in a comfortable, supportive manner. With Libby’s recent 30 Days of Yoga challenge, the backpack travel method keeps her back in perfect alignment and works her core as she jaunts around the US. Below are a few backpacks that caught our eye!

The Power of Yoga

December 13, 2012 //

This time of the year is particularly stressful. Besides the holidays, the weather is getting colder and our bodies are at high risk for catching germs and getting sick. One of Libby’s favorite ways to combat stress and to stay healthy throughout the winter is to practice yoga. Lately, she’s been attending classes at Newport Power Yoga led by Dina Jenks. Dina began practicing yoga back in 1998 and loved it so much that she instantly felt her calling as an instructor. Receiving her certification from Nosara Yoga Institute in tropical Costa Rica, Dina has been teaching various different style of yoga ever since. With a focus on Ashtanga, Dina’s classes have a strong foundation in alignment, movement and breath- all of which will certainly aid in keeping your body and mind in pristine health through the winter months. We encourage you to try out Newport Power Yoga if you have not already! Namaste!
