The universe never ceases to amaze me. Last week I

The universe never ceases to amaze me. Last week I started focusing less on what everything that has been happening in the world has taken away and decided to start focusing on all of the opportunities that are now available to me. So, when @saraclarkyoga reached out to see if I would like to join her for an IG live chat on “Loving Your Body” I was like…UMMMM… YESSSS!!! Tomorrow, Tuesday 8/11 we will have a candid convo on the subject at 11am EST on @saraclarkyoga IG Live. ⁠
This chat coincides with her 5 day workshop “I Can Love (My Body)” which she is hosting virtually starting Today Monday August 10th-Friday August 14th. These 30 min sessions of soul care will create a safe space to compassionately explore your internal landscape. Breath, mediation, mantra, journaling and movement will be your guide. All shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and genders are welcome. If you have not had the opportunity to share in Sara’s energy, I’m telling you it is infectious… you don’t want to miss this! Head over to @saraclarkyoga (linktree in bio) to join in on the workshop and TUNE in to @saraclarkyoga IG Live Tomorrow 11am EST for our candid conversation. Wishing you a beautiful week…Happy Monday!⁠

Yoga +Meditation for your mind, body and a great c

Yoga +Meditation for your mind, body and a great cause! ⁠
⁠
I am partnering with the @fdascholars non profit organization to raise scholarship funds for Black and Brown high school seniors at the Frederick Douglass Academy (FDA).⁠ We're coming together for a "Social Distance" Vinyasa Flow w/LIVE DRUMMERS and meditation that will pour into you and into someone else. ⁠
⁠
Join us in Prospect Park Saturday August 22nd at 6pm. ⁠
If you can't physically be there you can also join us via Zoom. ⁠
⁠
The Frederick Douglass Academy is a high school located in Harlem, NY and serves predominantly Black and Brown students.⁠
⁠
In 2016, a group of high school alumni from the Frederick Douglass Academy (FDA 1) came together and kick-started a scholarship fund to provide financial assistance to graduating seniors of FDA.⁠
⁠
Since inception, over $10,000 has been raised and awarded to over 15 students. Each year they set the bar higher! And now more than ever these students need our support. ⁠
⁠
All funds raised from this class will go to benefit the @fdascholars fundraising efforts.⁠

Happy Monday! I must admit last week I found myse

Happy Monday! I must admit last week I found myself feeling like every day was ground hog day. As this pandemic continues to drag on I had a few moments of “Why is everything changing” ( I am not a big fan of change I have not initiated or cannot control) and a strong feeling of loss as well as an overwhelming “I want my life back”. Add the oppressive heat to mix and needless to say, it was a long and somewhat emotional week. So, this weekend I took some time for myself, by myself. Long bike rides through the park and a deep clean of the house gave me time to think. Not only about all of the things that I’ve been feeling like I have lost, but to find some gratitude for all of the opportunities this pandemic and the overall state of the world has brought my way. I started to think that even though I miss the energy of an in- person yoga class, I am now reaching so many more people via online classes, IG Live and partnerships with brands that may not have noticed me before. This has resulted in a whole bunch of new followers and lots more engagement with the blog and social media, which has really moved all of the work I have done over the last 3 years leaps and bounds forward. While my business is not as robust as it previously was, it has forced me become more creative in how I interact with my design clients and challenged me to learn new things. Since I am typically go, go, go, it has forced me to slow down which has brought me closer to my family and allowed me some time to reconnect with my husband and myself. So, while I miss my previous life, the theme moving forward is “Opportunity”. Finding opportunities, creating opportunities, asking for opportunities. While this pandemic may feel extremely defeating, use this time to take advantage of the opportunities that may not have been readily available in a time of abundance, but are here during this time of uncertainty. #opportunityexists #mondaymood⁠

Are you a lover of the look of a room filled with

Are you a lover of the look of a room filled with big green leafy plants? Over the last several months I’ve been doing a bit of a refresh on the house and adding some new plant babies has been a huge part of the décor, but plants can offer so much more than just an amazing design aesthetic. Choose wisely and you can you get a fabulous look coupled with a world of major health benefits, since plants are a beautiful way to filter toxins and microbes that lurk in your home and ultimately help you breathe better.⁠
⁠
Some plants do a better job than others to help clean and humidify dry air removing and or absorbing the chemicals associated with paint, dry cleaning, carpet fibers, mold and bacteria and so on, so I’ve compiled a list of the hardest workers to get the job done...all while adding color and luxe to your space.

Watermelon Feta Salad. 3 simple ingredients....1

Watermelon Feta Salad.

3 simple ingredients....1 incredible Summer salad!
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
Watermelon (seedless)⁠
Fresh Feta⁠
Fresh Mint⁠
⁠
Remove watermelon rind and cut into cubes⁠
Chop mint loosely⁠
Toss 3 ingredients in bowl⁠
Enjoy!⁠
⁠
Tips for picking a perfectly ripe watermelon:⁠
⁠
Pick it up: Whether it's large or small the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.⁠
⁠
Look for the yellow spot: Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it’s ripe.⁠
⁠
Give it a tap: Tap the underbelly of the watermelon. When it's ripe it will make a deep hollow sound, which means it is full of juice and at the peak of its ripeness. Under-ripe or over-ripe melons will sound dull.⁠

Happy Monday! I came across a quote this weekend

Happy Monday! I came across a quote this weekend that I wanted to share since it got me thinking and I believe it will resonate with you too. "Whatever you are not changing you are choosing." Read that again. It made me start think about some choices that I'm been making lately in my daily life, prompting me to make a mental list of a few things that I have been wanting work on. It's the never ending quest of continued personal development, but things can get put on the back burner. You know the drill...I'll focus on that next week. Well next week is here and it's time to get focused. What are you choosing? I hope the choice is you! Have a fabulous week!

The essence of health does not lie in the perfect

The essence of health does not lie in the perfect BMI ratio or what size pants you wear. There are plenty of people who from the outside seem “healthy” but bubbling just below the surface there is so much pain, sadness and self-loathing. While the physical can be one part of health it 's also about a calm mind, kind demeanor, and a happy attitude. It stems from the unity of the mind, body and a place of perspective. Our inner peace is the key! The mindfulness practices we choose which allow us to pause and take note of how we feel, can help us to make positive choices toward all aspects of our lives. That is what brings about true and long lasting health. Let's stop looking just to the exterior for what we think healthy looks like and dig a little deeper... #thisismyfit #wellnesswednesday

Happy Monday! I am back from vacation and feeling

Happy Monday! I am back from vacation and feeling ready to take on the new week. So grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. It was definitely different navigating social distancing in terms of traveling and dining out, but not impossible and worth it to have had some sense of normalcy. ⁠
⁠
I’m jumping right back into the swing of things with several opportunities to move together this week! ⁠
⁠
I am excited to be adding a new class to my schedule starting this week. Join me every Thursday evening at 5:30pm EST for Vinyasa Flow w/ @sacredbrooklyn from now through the end of August.⁠
⁠
Hoping that adding this in addition to my Tuesday 6:30pm EST class w/ @namastuy will help me to stay moving and connected to all of you since it has been especially hard during Covid to keep a routine. ⁠You can sign up for these Zoom classes through each studio or the mind body app.
⁠
Also, this Friday I’ll be partnering with @athletanyc for a Fundraiser offering a 45 min IG Live Vinyasa Flow so tune in at 10am on @atheltanyc IG Live to join us!⁠
⁠
Hope your week is filled with all kinds of great things and lots and lots of joy!⁠
⁠
Xoxo⁠
