Happy Tuesday!

Unfortunately, today was the second Tuesday in a row that work has kept me from my favorite class at Equinox.

But, unlike the past, I didn’t let a stressful day keep me from my yoga dreams.

I came home, rolled out my pink yoga mat, lit my favorite new candle, and searched iTunes for some yoga videos.

Luckily, I found that Yoga Download has a free podcast which means I can enjoy 20 minute guided workouts for free! Each podcast also features an easy to print yoga pose guide. Just search Yoga Download on iTunes for over 40 free podcasts!

After a long day at the office and sitting in front of the computer, I chose the Yoga Download: Shoulder Opener #1  podcast.

It was the perfect mix of relaxing poses like the above and challenging plank and thread the needles poses.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about these wonderful 20 minute sessions. They are free, easy to follow, can be done in the comfort of your own home, and leave me feeling relaxed and ready to conquer a homemade dinner!

Tonight’s dinner was another healthy and easy dinner inspired by Theodora’s pasta bowls: whole wheat pasta+vegetables+protein. In less than 15 minutes we whipped up a delicious dinner that was a nice change from our usual takeout or chicken and vegetables.

Tonight’s mix included spinach with garlic, white wheat rottini pasta, chicken meatballs, and vegetable primavera.

What is your favorite easy dinner combination?
