For years I’ve been trying different holistic he

For years I’ve been trying different holistic healing modalities but was always afraid of Cupping. I would see the “trendy” marks on the back of celebrities and perfect yogis alike and think…ok what kind of cult is this? It looked terribly painful and since I bruise and scar easily, I was afraid that the marks would never leave and my beautiful back(which is the only place on my body that doesn’t have a stretch mark) and it would be ruined forever. Then last Summer I injured my left shoulder during a weight-lifting workout.⁠
⁠
I never fully understood when someone would tell me they had chronic neck or back pain until that moment. For weeks I could barely turn my head to the right, the pain would keep me up at night and I was aware of my shoulder, neck and jaw all the time. I tried massages and several rounds of acupuncture (which had always worked to ease any pain in the past) but apparently this injury needed something different, and the difference was cupping.⁠

Happy Monday! Moving into the new week feeling a sense of newness and joy!

Yesterday I led my first in person yoga class with @sacredbrooklyn in almost a year and it felt so amazing to move in community under the trees in the park on a perfect sunny day.

I left feeling hopeful about the change ahead as the city and world start to fully reopen and so much excitment for the summer months ahead.

Carrying this feeling into the new week with the mantra:

"I will let joy guide me."

Have an amazing week!

It's that Friday feeling...

It's unfortunate that we live in a society that promotes shame around size, celebrates smalless instead of fullness, has created so much bias around what we think able bodies look like and pushes movement as a form of punishement for what you eat. Being fit is not a number on the scale or a dress size. Only you know your body and what your fit looks and feels like. Celebrate your body and what it can do for you every day!

This Sunday June 6th, I will be leading an in person outdoor vinyasa flow class in Ft. Greene Park at 10:30am. Sign Up @sacredbrooklyn at @mindbody or LINK IN BIO to join me to celebrate and connect with your body while tapping into your fit.

The official start of the summer is here and I'm all about easy dresses that you can throw on from beach to errands to cocktails and look chic. ⁠
⁠
This Free Fall Oversized Maxi dress from @sweatybetty is definitely going to be in heavy rotation this summer since the fabric is super breathable and lightweight and I'm obsessed with all the colors in this fresh floral print.⁠

Is it just me or has it been difficult to stay moving this past year for you too? When I look at the slow-down of the world I also see the slow-down of my body. ⁠
⁠
One of the things I use to enjoy the most about fitness was keeping it social and meeting my girls for yoga, pilates, bike rides,or long walks in the park, but all of that stopped in 2020 and I found myself feeling less motivated and less in tune with my body. ⁠
⁠
With things starting to open up a bit again, I have spent the last 4 weeks really focusing on myself and re-connecting with my body. It was hard at first not feeling as strong as I did the year prior but instead of beating myself up, I have been continuing to show up for myself, cheer myself on and subsequently have gotten back to a pretty regular routine.⁠
⁠
It feels great to be back in the pilates and yoga studios sharing space with others, feeling stronger, more relaxed and more in touch with my body again. It is a reminder how movement has a serious effect on your mind and spirit and how important it is to add to your daily routine in some capacity.⁠

Sometimes rest is the best medicine of all. I rare

Sometimes rest is the best medicine of all. I rarely spend an entire weekend doing nothing but this weekend I took my own advice and seriously slowed it down. I read books outside in the sunshine while sipping rose'. Took a yoga class, took lots of naps, got off social, didn't answer the phone or email, went to sleep early and finished the weekend off with a life changing massage @lifewellnessbk

I didnt even realize how much I needed all if until I was crying on the massage table letting go of everything. Now I'm stepping into the new week feeling recharged, re-inspired and ready to take on the world.

Hope you found some much needed YOU time this weekend and if not get it on your schedule sooner rather than later!

Have a fabulous week!

This week was soooo long. Between work and this side hustle it's easy to forget to slow down (because we don't awlays practice what we preach) and it can be overwhelming being on go go go all the time. ⁠
⁠
This weekend self-care is going to look like getting off social media, re-connecting with Ron, NO work (until late Sunday) and long naps in the sun.⁠
⁠
What's on your agenda?⁠

Have a a wonderful weekend!

Balance is never the same from day to day and not always easy to find. The balance in your body...the balance in your life. Each day is a reminder to meet yourself where you are at. ⁠

Happy Monday!

We're 14 days into Taurus season and I am totally feeling it, are you?

This Taurus season is all about giving yourself a mental break and getting into nature.

The universe is sending us some seriously chill vibes with an overall tone of R&R and I'm totally into being comfortable relaxed and connected to nature. Meeting up with friends for long hikes and bike rides in the park, or taking day trips outside of the city and appreciating the change of weather is what has been feeding my soul these days.

It's also a time you'll feel more connected to your body and put work into feeling body positive. You may even ask yourself what can you do to feel even better in your skin?... and implement a plan to do it.

Lean into this season and enjoy all this positive energy!
