Okay let's get real here....

At what point did props become a sign of weakness?!

One of the biggest roadblocks I see as a teacher is a students hesitancy to use blocks/props.

The truth is- props can benefit your practice in SO many ways. To name a few:

1. Bring the floor closer to you. Flexibility takes patience and time. Why not try easy while that happens?

2. Allow your body to settle and relax into a pose. Try placing a block under your glute in half pigeon- you'll know what I'm talking about!

3. Help with balance. Blocks under your hands in standing splits or low lunge can create the stability necessary to focus on other areas of the pose.

4. Feel supported in general! There is no better feeling than having all the props placed in a yin class, and your body softens and you can allow yourself to feel supported.

If you are always hesitant to use a prop, ask yourself- where else in life are you hesitant to accept support?

6 things EVERY yogi NEEDS to know...
Love your yoga instructor:

1. Your instructor doesn't care if you can do advanced poses. If it serves your practice, by all means fly! But if you are ignoring your bodies cues and pushing towards pain or injury, don't do it. We DO care that you listen to your body 🤗

2. NOTHING makes us happier than seeing a student make the conscious decision to modify a pose. This means you are in tune with your body, and deciding what works best in the moment. THAT'S the yoga!! 🙌

3. We hold space for you to discover more about yourself. Yoga isn't just a workout. It's coming home to yourself. Mind, body and soul connected with breath. 🙏

4. We work hard to remember your names and your injuries. It's important to us that you feel seen. Often times we run through modifications before class to ensure that everyone has access to a version of every pose👏

5. It's OKAY to have a bad class. Life isn't all gummy bears and rainbows, and neither is yoga. Sometimes the struggle is real. You will feel disconnected, out of sync, and frustrated on your mat sometimes. It happens! What can we learn from the bad classes?

6. Your yoga instructor loves feedback! Our ultimate goal is to leave you with something impactful every class. If you learned something, had an aha moment, or even if you tried something that didn't work, please share if you feel comfortable! We become better at what we do when we learn how it lands in your body.

Thanks for reading!

See you on your mats 🙏✨️

Midlife isn't a crisis-
It's a call to rise.
As I'm waking up to my true potential, it's my job to listen to my body, and my intuition, and to trust in the process 🙌✨️

Sometimes I do.....

I often find myself missing the woman I was prior to peromenopause. The energy, the lack of joint pain, thicker hair, thinner waistline!

Sigh. But then I remind myself of who I am becoming, and what I am building. And that is fu***ng exciting ✨️✨️

I have to admit....
When I first saw this pic I didn't like it. Skin folds exposed in multiple different places?!

Omg!!

But after sitting with that feeling for a while, I realized that skin will fold when bending and twisting in yoga, and that's okay!

Lately, one of my top priorities has really been working on reframing that voice in my head to land on a more loving and accepting message.

The undoing of a lifetime of programming geared towards perfection will take some time, and I'm here for the growth that is happening as a result 🙌

Thank you .at.last_ .photography for capturing the authentic me so well.

✨️I'd love to hear how your journey to self-love and acceptance is going. Drop a comment!

✨️Share this with someone who needs a reminder of how ALL bodies are yoga bodies 🙌

New awareness= new experience! 🤯

It's amazing how poses I've done 1000s of times can suddenly feel brand new when I focus on something different.
I've been loving the spinal flow lately. Focusing on the spine as you flow through a sun salutation is a great awareness of the wave length quality spinal movement can imitate.
I'd love to know how this feels for you! Try it out and drop a comment 🙌✨️

Allergies all of a sudden? ⬇️
During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can change how your body handles histamine, increasing reactivity, gut permeability, and mast cell sensitivity.

This can cause headaches, congestion, brain fog, runny nose, itchy eyes, post nasal drip and mood shifts. Practical steps: track triggers, chat with your doc. I take an allergy pill when things get really clogged up.

Drop a comment if you've experienced histamine release in perimenopause!

Friends! I have some exciting news: I am thrilled to be able to bring Baptiste Inspired Power Flow to .lab.lacombe! Starting March 9th, I will be teaching one 75min class per month, on a Saturday from 10:15am-11:30am.
This is an all levels class with lots of opportunity to tone it down or spice it up. No prior yoga experience necessary...we learn as we go!
This class included for Iron Lab members, and open to non members at the drop in rate. Come 15min early if you are dropping in! Bring a mat, water bottle and towel- we might get sweaty!
Can't wait to connect with you all again 🙏
