    A recent BlogHer event I attended reaffirmed the importance of community to the success of any blog. Since my move I’ve experienced firsthand the awesome population of bloggers in the city, and meeting them has given me more of an incentive to be part of the community. Today’s round-up of posts covers every part of a superbly single lifestyle—from fashion to fitness, travel to tavern. I’m lucky to have met these fabulous girls and urge you to add them to your list of blogs to follow.

    I had never regretted my decision to take a yoga class… until last Wednesday.

    I headed to this studio, new to me, with anticipation. It was on my list of studios to try ever since I moved back—probably because it was one of the few with free and easy parking; unlike L.A., here nowhere you go has valet. The studio was warm (I’m talking temperature), and I’m much more comfortable in airy (read, air conditioned) studios but I let go and embraced the fact that I would likely leave the class feeling relaxed and refreshed.

    With my limited experience, I believe yoga is a practice of constantly letting go of the ego, calming your mind, focusing your breath, listening to your body. On this evening, the night before the full moon, what our instructor led us through was the complete opposite of that. The class started in a seated position focusing in on the breath. I felt myself center. And this was the last time I would feel calm for the rest of the evening.

    Catherine shares her one-month experience on ClassPass

    classpass

    Already available in New York. Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago, ClassPass launched last week in Washington, D.C. ClassPass hit San Francisco by storm in August. In the land of the start-up, ClassPass had the city jumping at the chance to tour and support the boutique gyms and fitness studios that generally require dedicated membership at each respectively. Now we all had an excuse to check out a studio or a class that we had been meaning to. Hate the gym? Like to mix up your fitness routine? Shopping for a new studio to call home? ClassPass is for you. Read on for my experience on ClassPass and my visits to studios around the city.
