Normally Pao Fit entries are limited to more heart-pumping, endorphin-creating exercises or outdoor activities. Yet I think being Pao Fit also means ensuring you are taking care of yourself and your body’s needs – and today what my body needed was a manicure/pedicure. Maybe it was the fact that backpacking the Napali Coast trail last [...]

I’ll be taking a bit of a vaca for the next week to Kauai, and more specifically to the Napali Coast and Hanalei. Despite living on Oahu for three years as a kid, I never took a trip to any of the other islands so I’m excited! SF Tao of Pao will be taking a [...]

I chase new experiences. I chase adventure. I chase my upper limits and seek to fulfill a persistent curiosity for the unknown. And sorry, TLC, I also happen to chase waterfalls. When I delve deep into the multitude of California hikes I’ve enjoyed over the years, my favorite ones always seem to include waterfalls. [...]

My Path to Pilates The last year I’ve integrated more yoga into my routine, doing 1-3 classes regularly per week. I’ve embraced vinyasa flow, power yoga, hatha yoga. I think I’m about 5 years past when it was “white hot” – you know the days I’m talking about. When classes were filled with [...]

The Runner’s High and Playlist

Run hard. I believe that wholeheartedly. I make a rule never to run less than 4 miles. I honestly think it’s a waste of time because usually my body is still ramping up between mile 3 and 4, so why stop then? I don’t believe you get the full benefit of a run unless [...]
