Oh, Spring Break! You’ve looked forward to it, planned and then planned some more, made the travel reservations, and even bought a new bathing suit. You’re ready to let the fun begin, but don’t want to let all the pre-Spring Break ‘New Year’ intentions and hard work go down the drain.

Join Jessica Baker on Thursday, Feb. 23rd from 10:45-11:30am for a mini posture clinic and discover safe and fun ways to work into crow pose (Bakasana) and transition to headstand. It's great for beginners or those looking to transition from headstand back to crow or even in and out of side crow.

Dear Twist Tribe,

As we approach our fourth year serving this amazing and inspirational yoga community, we’ve arrived at the point where we need to raise our rates for the first time. We’re proud that even as our operational costs have increased, we have not had to raise prices until now.

First of all – welcome! We are so thrilled to have you as part of the Twist Tribe. You have made the decision to invest time in your wellness, and take time from your busy schedule just for yourself. Sometimes, that’s the hardest part. Congratulations!

Sometimes, we get to a point in our practice where we are ready to really break down our asanas and shed some light on proper alignment, and take things to the next level. Ali Matt and Jessica Baker, two of our Twist Yoga Teacher Training leaders, take individual poses and present them in a way that's easy to understand, and really feel in your body.

Eating before a football game is serious business. Players need to have sufficient energy to last for anywhere between 48-60 minutes. In order to do this, players must have energy in immediate reserves. Nutrition and sports go hand-in-hand to really take your craft to the next level. Well-rounded nutrient intake is vital for performance, while maintaining good health. Carbohydrates are especially key when it comes to game time.

Hydration is the key to good nutrition, healthy muscles, and peak performance. It reduces injuries, heat stress, and illness. Players must stay properly hydrated before, during, and after games and practices. But, how much do you really need to drink and why? And, how about sports drinks?

For several weeks after their Wednesday morning regular practice this summer, the entire Lake Oswego High School football team took off their cleats and joined the coaches on the field for a one hour yoga class. Lead by certified yoga teacher Ali Matt of Twist Yoga in Lake Oswego, the classes focused on the speed and agility that players need on the gridiron.

When you think of collagen, you may think of augmented lips and a lack of wrinkles. Although the popularized beauty enhancements of collagen come to mind first, its internal benefits are a powerful contributor to overall health.

Summer is here and it's a perfect time to rethink our summer beauty and wellness routines! Twist Yoga students Jen Albertini and Dede Lamont, local Arbonne District Managers, created this fun and informative video with their top 5 summer "must-haves". 

When reminding my kids to wear sunscreen last week, they asked me, why we need lotion with UVA and UVA protection. Usually, I am in a rush (or perceived rush!), and make up an answer. This time, I decided to refer to the ol’ Google machine and came across the nifty little video below. It has a brilliant and easy-to-understand message.

Are you making your list and checking it twice?

We don’t care who’s naughty or nice … we have just the right gift for everyone!

If you’ve ever been pregnant (or happen to be right now) you know that the intention to eat well can quickly give way to the reality of cravings, morning sickness and food aversions. What follows are a few insights designed to inspire a healthy balance between the ideal and the realities we all face:

Twist swag, machine-washable mats and bras that flatter (and don’t flatten!) Twist Yoga personally tests all products, clothing, and retail items before stocking the shelves.

A typical runner can experience anything from achy shoulders, tight legs to a sore back. Running often lends itself to tightening and shortening of muscles and high impact on the joints. Yoga, however, elongates and lengthens muscles, finding ease and stability in joints.

Let’s face it. Your hands don’t lie. I wish they did, but there’s no getting around it. If we’re lucky, we all age, and our hands seem to age even faster than the rest of us. Sun damage, dishes, and yard work leave our hands beyond anything a typical moisturizer can combat.

Often times, mine wanders to what I am going to eat after practice. Or, what I am going to eat at lunch? Or, what I am going to buy to eat at the grocery store? Or, what I would eat if I could eat anything in the entire world? You get the drift.
