I'm bringing blogging back

It’s happening. I’m pretending it’s 2012 and I’m bringing blogging back. I miss it. It’s really interesting how the landscape of media changes. Long-form blogging was it for so long, and then it was all about real life photos on Instagram with a blown out filter and witty captions so carefully curated to look like you’re not trying too hard… and then it turned into highly curated perfect-looking photos on Instagram. Then it was Reels, and then short form TikToks, and now apparently longer TikToks are the thing - and as a creator, it’s hard to keep up with because as soon as you feel like you’ve got the algorithm down, it changes and you’re just sitting there like -_-

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to have a little blog on this site for a while. I’d gotten away from YogaByCandace as my work changed to include mobility, corrective exercise, postural alignment stuff, and personal training. YogaByCandace just no longer felt like an accurate representation of what I do.

Further, from an SEO standpoint, it’s important for this website to be continually ‘updated’ and a blog does that, which will help my little biz be discovered by potential clients.

I’m not sure how frequently I’ll update the blog. My goal is at least a few times a week, but I have this bad habit of putting too much on my plate and then getting overwhelmed, so I think I’ll reduce the goal to just once a week and see how it goes.

The things I’ll share? A little bit of work stuff - postural and mobility tips, musings from my personal training sessions and my own workouts, and a little bit of life - I just bought a house - the closing date is next month, and I’m excited to share decor stuff and renovation projects and things like that. I’ve also noticed I get a lot of the same questions when I do Ask Me Anything’s on Instagram, so I figured I’d create blog posts out of the answers so I can direct people here. It’s especially helpful for when you’re looking for a list of recommendations - whether it’s hair products, books, travel tips, etc.

Thanks for reading and hanging out over here on this little corner of the internet. I appreciate ya!
