Gifts that Give Back.by Kathryn Budig on Dec 9, 2010 I love presents. Giving and receiving. There’s so much excitement and thought that goes into choosing the perfect gift to make someone’s face light up. Also in knowing that someone has put the same kind of effort in for you. The only thing that makes my face light up more is knowing that my gifts [...] 1,629 views |

The Boy with the Koi Fish Tattoo. ~ Kathryn Budigby Kathryn Budig on Oct 14, 2010 Nothing like heading to the City of Love right after your man has said, “au revoir.” The Universe has such a wicked sense of humor. I’m boarding a plane for Paris in a few hours with a new rose quartz mala around my neck, sent to me from the designer telling me she met her husband right [...] 4,183 views |
Land of the Midnight Sun.by Kathryn Budig on Jul 30, 2010 I’m sitting in bed in the land of the midnight sun. It’s 11:30pm at night in Juneau, Alaska, and the sky is still lit up like a shining sapphire unwilling to cease its majestic glow. The land of permanent twilight—a vampirelier’s dream come true. The air is crisp, the landscape is staggering and the omega [...] 2,676 views |
 Poses for Paws—Confessions of a Professional Dog Snugglerby Kathryn Budig on Jul 15, 2010 It’s not easy being a Professional Dog Snuggler. The training is excruciatingly intense. You have to be able to endure 10 no-stopping-to-breath minutes of puppy kisses. A full half hour of a dog sleeping directly on your head. Ten puppy faces looking up at you as you eat your dinner without sharing a single bite, [...] 1,444 views |
You Are Beautifulby Kathryn Budig on Jul 2, 2010 Just in case you didn’t know. You are. Just as you are. Share this with someone who should know. beautiful new wall art outside of Yogaworks, Santa Monica. 2,211 views |
Stop Spinning and…Eat Something.by Kathryn Budig on Jun 29, 2010 I always thought vertigo was for Mel Brooks and Hitchcock headliners. Turns out, a major con from getting on several planes a month can result in an inner ear infection resulting in some trippy vertigo. I’ve been doing the vertigo-tango for about a week now, and it has seriously inhibited my activity—to the point where [...] 2,209 views |
Come Live the Life You’re Given.by Kathryn Budig on Jun 8, 2010 Music rocks me to my core. I just made my rookie trip to teach at the prestigious Kripalu Center in the Berkshires. I was filled with a mixture of gratitude, excitement and the feeling in my tummy when I’ve eaten a whole pint of Ben & Jerry’s—I was intimidated all the way to my core. [...] 3,199 views |
“Bone Appetit”—A Review of Planet Dog Eats.by Kathryn Budig on May 20, 2010 Ashi Budig. Imagine a beautiful, sparkling afternoon in Venice, California. Ashi (my puggle, my partner in crime, my best friend) and I are in the kitchen. She sits fully animated at my feet watching each and every move I make with her attentive Disney eyeballs. I’m preparing a rather gourmet meal tonight. I’ve decided on [...] 569 views |
Yes, May I Have Another?by Kathryn Budig on May 12, 2010 Words of Wisdom from Joseph Campbell: “If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who [...] 3,910 views |
Why It’s Okay to Not Be Nice.by Kathryn Budig on Apr 21, 2010 Growing up Catholic can do a serious number on you. I grew up with the famous phrases, ‘Love thy neighbor’, and ‘Do unto those as you would have them do to you’. I’ve gotta say, overall—sound advice. It pays to think before you speak. And it’s incredibly important to see both sides of the coin [...] 16,809 views |
 Spring Cleaning for the Soul.by Kathryn Budig on Apr 10, 2010 West Elm can now officially call me their #1 stylish stalker. Spring has sprung and with it my urge to redecorate my home. I’ve moved out all vibrant colors and replaced them with soft neutrals, whites and textures. My fauvist style art has been replaced with soothing white landscapes and flowing pale curtains. My orange [...] 2,253 views |
Yoga, Cooking & Giada de Laurentiis: A Delectable Union.by Kathryn Budig on Mar 24, 2010 I love to eat. I came into this world malnourished as a C-section baby. I don’t think I ever kicked the ‘must-eat-to-survive’ instinct I entered this life with. It has turned into a full on zeal for eating, cooking or even admiring delectable food. You could basically paste a curly tail on my behind and [...] 12,677 views |
 Jamie Oliver, Superhero.by Kathryn Budig on Mar 13, 2010 Jamie Oliver may have never stepped foot on a yoga mat, but he is doing and living yoga every single day of his life. Before you get images of Jamie ladling soup from his nimble toes in scorpion, know that doing and living yoga doesn’t mean attending your favorite asana class five days a week [...] 1,693 views |
I See You.by Kathryn Budig on Mar 1, 2010 I think we can safely assume that a huge chunk of the population has seen “Avatar”. Some people thought it was a cliched, box-office monster full of computer-animated blue people. Others thought it was simply a visual masterpiece. Some were spiritually moved by the message of the film. I personally loved it, and walked away especially inspired by the [...] 2,978 views |

 I Have a Yoga Crush on Elena Brower.by Kathryn Budig on Jan 31, 2010 Move over, Waylon. I have a yoga crush on Elena Brower. I must start by saying how grateful I am for this social networking age we live in. Facebook and Twitter have given me the opportunity to connect with fabulous fellow teachers around the world that I have yet to meet and practice with. One [...] 5,428 views |
 Happiness is a Warm Puppy.by Kathryn Budig on Jan 27, 2010 Happiness is A Warm Puppy by Kathryn Budig I’m feeling the effects of being a spoiled Southern California resident. We’ve had non-stop rain (in Los Angelenos speak, hell on earth) for the past 3 days and I’ve come down with a sore throat while my dog, Ashi, is getting cabin fever. When I say cabin [...] 2,428 views |
 A New Moon.by Kathryn Budig on Nov 29, 2009 A New Moon: my psoas, unrequited love, New Moon & an iPhone turned off. A year ago on this day I suffered an awful psoas muscle injury. The worst part was there wasn’t an actual movement that brought the injury on, I simply started to feel pain. I had just taken a huge emotional blow a few [...] 7,706 views |
 The Yoga of Mending a Broken Heart—Fast.by Kathryn Budig on Aug 8, 2009 How to Mend a Broken Heart. Fast. You could call me a bit of a pro in the “I’ve been dumped” department. Sure, I’ve ended plenty of relationships myself, but I know all too well what it’s like to be on the opposite end. I’ve had my fair share of heartache—but to be fair, I’ve [...] 7,547 views |
 Love Bitten & Drained Dry: My Ex-Boyfriend, the Vampire.by Kathryn Budig on Jun 27, 2009 A yoga teacher talks about a relationship that left her feeling…drained. I have many passions in life, but if I had to narrow it down to just a handful, they would be yoga, cooking, fabulous footwear, dark innovative chocolate and vampires. Yup, you heard me, vampires. In fact, I consider myself to be fairly schooled [...] 5,315 views |
On Yoga, Chocolate & Periods.by Kathryn Budig on Jun 4, 2009 To Yoga or not to Yoga during one’s Period? via Kathryn Budig For years now, an epic battle on whether to practice yoga during a feminine cycle has been raging. Some yoga teachers simply promote no inversion practice during a period. Pattabhi Jois, head of the Asthanga tradition, encourages a woman to take her entire [...] 13,405 views |
