Vacationing at the New Jersey shore is relaxing, but I can’t forget about my workouts! I am not very good at working out in my home, so I teamed up with my friend, Leslie, and we went to this awesome bootcamp in Avalon.

One of my favorite recipes is an easy one! All you need is chicken, a lemon, and McCormick’s Lemon and Pepper seasoning. I pair it with some rice and lots of veggies. It’s great on the grill in the summertime! I just wrap it in aluminum foil. It’s easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Name: Shanteel Yoga Sanctuary
Location: Sellersville, PA
Instructor: Jennifer- She greeted us with a beautiful smile, and kept it that way. But don’t let that smile fool you! She asked us on a scale from 1-10 how we were feeling and we said 10, so she gave us spicy yoga. We were sweating!

Welcoming: Yes! Before we even entered the studio, we felt welcomed. The facade was beautiful, as it felt like you were entering something special. The studio is in an older building and has character that made it feel like no other studio we visited. We were able to check in and head upstairs to the open yoga studio. It felt like the studio and decor helped us get in the right mindset for our practice.
Cleanliness: Yes
Unique Features: Shanteel Yoga is a true sacred place that allows for physical practice and healthy minds. When we left, we left at peace. We worked hard and really paid attention to our breath. Jennifer constantly reminded us to listen to our breathing and notice why it was fast or slow. Making the mind-body connection is so important when trying to live a healthy lifestyle. The mind and heart are just as important as the body.
Thank you, Shanteel Yoga, for having us! We enjoyed our practice and felt wonderful when we left. These mamas could have taken a nap we were so relaxed at the end which was not the case at the beginning of class. Remember we wanted spicy! We can’t wait to come back!

I *knock on wood* have never had a broken bone. My son is 22 months and he just got his first cast. The mommy guilt is in full force, especially when we’re in public. The looks and comments are inevitable. It makes an unforgettable story for later in life. What I do care about is going with my mommy instincts.
Have you ever heard the saying, “You gotta tabata!”? Every time we hear “tabata” that phrase comes to mind, and that is exactly what we did with our gear from Tabata Bootcamp. When we received our package from them, we were so amazed and grateful for all of the cool stuff they sent us. T-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, bags, hats, balls, resistance bands, sliders, ropeless jump ropes… you name it! WOW!
We decided that since we got all of these amazing items, it only made sense that we try them out. We picked a great location and got to it! Who doesn’t love working out with a gorgeous lake in the background?
