Meet Frozen Yoga

First things first -- why don't you check out our store on Etsy? www.frozenyoga.etsy.com I think looking at our items can tell you a little about us --- we're fun, we love color, and apparently we love wine quite a bit. Keep checking back to see how much we evolve (I have been thinking about a mosaic involving the word Beer --- see? I'm growing already!)

There are two of us that make up Frozen Yoga -- Sara and Gina. I'm Sara -- by day I work in the mortgage industry out of my house. I'm married with 3 crazy little boys and my husband is a stay at home dad with a growing sportscard business (shameless plug for him www.footballcardsandmore.com). I live in SC but grew up in OH. My very favorite thing in life (other than my family) is creating. I love to make jewelry but I will try my hand at just about any art or craft at least once. I will be getting into some metalworking and possibly glasswork in the near future. I also like to make mosaics but my buddy, Gina, is the one who's really talented at that.

So, Gina - besides being the best friend I could ask for, she's also an elementary art teacher, makes wonderful cakes for weddings and other occasions, and she's the one who makes those highly desireable melted wine bottles in our store as well as beautiful mosaics and other fun things. We have been friends for about 17 years and creating has been one of our main common bonds. We used to practice bubble letters and doodles in high school calculus class. I don't remember anything from calculus but I can make you a great poster if you're having a car wash or bake sale.

One question we get a lot is "I love the name Frozen Yoga. Where did it come from?" I'm afraid if I tell you the full story of the origination of this name that it will lose some of its luster. While Gina and I think the story is hilarious (as we are easily amused), I'm not so sure others would feel the same way. So, to keep with the mystery of all that is Frozen Yoga, I'll give you a very brief summary of how Frozen Yoga came to be. It involved a high school class project (oh, about 12-13 years ago), a very informative albeit unconventional video about yoga and its stress-reducing effects on the body, and our love of all edible frozen delights. See? Now you know but you are still intrigued...

I will be adding to this blog and making it glorious over the next week or so. Please check back often and feel free to leave comments (nice ones are preferred, of course). Thanks for reading our very first blog! Whoo hoo!
