I admit, I am a very late convert to hot yoga shorts. My instructors back at Boulder Bikram Yoga used to come over and say, “Where are your knees? I can’t tell if your legs are straight. Don’t be shy.” I’d smile and think something along the lines of, Don’t bother me. I’m concentrating. That particular […]

One day late August, videographer Brad Clement and I spent the day filming some of the many things a woman can do wearing the Liberty Skort. From fishing and cycling to in-line skating and yoga, this skort works for many athletic endeavors. I especially like it because while I love wearing skirts, I am also […]

My summer bucket lists typically include at least one backpacking trip. This year, my friend Bridget and I decided to test our wilderness skills—alone. Some may say you’re not alone if another gal is going, but in our eyes no boys = alone! Neither of us had been backpacking more than a couple of times, […]

Most tops that have a built-in bra are not supportive enough or comfortable enough, because you can feel the elastic below your chest… The Lyra Top is a wonderful exception…here’s my actual day-to-day that happened last week… I wore my Lyra top to teach indoor cycling on a Thursday morning and realized that the built-in […]

I got my first pair of Rockin’ Pants 3+ years ago. They quickly became my go-to climbing pants, and I wore them on Yosemite National Park’s big walls, England’s gritstone crags, and Colorado’s granite cracks. I chose them whenever cool temps and rough rock warranted burly, stretchy pants. For alpine rock climbing, the deep zip […]

I stumbled my way through every childhood sport I was forced to participate in. Swim team? I would hide under my towel, only to fall asleep and upset my coach. Soccer? Stomach pains. Basketball? Well, I’m 5-feet tall (OK, 4’11 and a half). Roller hockey? I was the only girl on my team, and much […]

I’m a selective shopper. When your height is on the short side, and your bust is on the big side, you sort of have to be. It took me many years to figure out which styles flatter me, and which do not. My shopping companions often tell me I’m too picky or critical, but I […]

“Cancer is a word, not a sentence.” –John Diamond Cancer. It’s one of the most terrifying, mysterious words in the English vocabulary. They say it will affect one in three people. It’s one of the most popular plotlines in Hollywood, and we all know someone who has lost a grandparent or furry friend to the […]

Tonya Clement may be a little lady at just over five feet, 3 inches tall, but there’s nothing small about the amount of energy, enthusiasm, and excitement this 48-year-old brings to life. Whether it’s writing a book about post-Everest married life, climbing mountains for peace or to save mountain gorillas, or running Colorado’s most successful […]

My favorite Buddhist teacher, Pema Chodron, teaches that any person, of any faith, can awaken her mind and expand her viewpoint with the 59 traditional Buddhist Lojong slogans. Essentially proverbs, these slogans offer us methods for relating to the world in a more positive way. You don’t have to be Buddhist to understand the meaning […]

“I’m going to make it!” I think running up the rocky, 3-mile mountain biking trail. “Sweet! I’m going to make it,” I shout to the pines and the blue sky. And then I gasp. Still a half-mile to go. I’m no FloJo. Pace yourself, Lizzy. For the 20th or so time this winter I jog up […]
