PITUSA MUSE OF THE MONTH: GABY LANZ

Thank you! I’ve been practicing every single day for a little over 2 years.  I had started getting interested yoga right before I got pregnant with my youngest son but it wasn’t until after he was born and I was trying to get my mind and body back, that I became serious about it.

What’s your favorite thing about Yoga?
It’s so simple yet so hard to explain. Yoga has showed me how to see the beauty in everything, including myself.

Do you teach?
I’m currently finishing up yoga teacher training. Only two months left and it will be official!

How about your sons, are they getting into Yoga?
I’ve got two little yogis for sure! It’s been an adventure creating a solid home practice with kids around but sharing it with them has only deepened our bond. We have a space in our home filled with mats and props and that’s where the family mainly hangs out now so yoga is always going on. Asher (6) and Logan (2) both make appearances on my Instagram if you want to see them in action!

What does your diet mainly consist of? Tell us some of your fav things to eat and drink!
I don’t follow a “diet” or fall into any specific box. I try to eat as clean and healthy as possible and only drink water (and lots of coffee). It’s important to know where the food I eat comes from and I try to choose the choices with the least environmental impact. I believe that we are what we eat, that food is medicine, pizza is its own food group and if you want the chocolate then eat it.  Some staples that are always in the house: fruit (mmm bananas), couscous and quinoa, tons of frozen veggies, rice, beans, avocados and of course chocolate.
