beauty, brains + balance.

growing up, athletics did not come naturally to me. i'm super clumsy, often tripping over my own feet - or others' - and even getting a concussion at discovery zone (remember that place?!) by running into a tube when i was nine years old.

my incredibly bendy little sis, on the other hand, is so much more graceful and balanced than me. case in point? this pic:

she looks so carelessly cool in perfect pose on this floating yoga mat of sorts, looking like she was practically born that way without any fear she'll topple over into the water. 

and she even knows how to properly style an outfit for headstands on a yogaboard in the middle of the water too, so you know i'm proud. she's wearing her new favorite workout apparel - nike pro print compression shorts - which she wears to run, spin, yoga, trx or practically anything these days. i'm tempted to get a pair too, like this playful pattern sure to make a statement from dick's sporting goods:

while i'm still uncertain about trying yogaboarding, she claims that flexing and posing on a paddle board is not so difficult, thanks to the boga yoga stand-up paddle boards. 

want to try it yourself? if you missed it last night, blueline paddle surf, just across from the iconic lighthouse in sunny jupiter, offers a number of classes and rentals. this was taken during a yow class (yoga on water) tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. the cost is $10 per person or $5 if you byob...b for "board," not "beer," people. even cheaper than a regular yoga class...pretty good deal, if you ask me!
