My favorite report cards, my medical test results. It may seem odd, but I prepared for a year with healthy habits and hope my scores will reflect my efforts. I assume they are nothing but stellar. Anything other will startle most eager patients as one recently did for me.

Annually, my doctor monitors potential damaging effects to my organs due to a long term autoimmune condition. Within hours of a recent test for the lungs my doctor prescribed a statin drug to fend off a potential heart attack due to a diagnosis of "Moderate Coronary Artery Disease/CAD". From checking my lungs to a heart issue I gasped and adamantly questioned the results. I declinined taking medication until we confirmed the test's accuracy. After completing more diagnostic tests such as a cardiac stress echocardiogram and the more detailed Cardiac CT scan, the diagnosis downgraded to a "minimal risk for heart attack". They confirmed my heart muscle is strong and no statin drug needed at this time. Phew!

Was my reaction just a form of denial or did this ignite my intuition to question the testing process, the interpretation by a stranger, and a prescription by my doctor who I respect?

Regardless, I believe this was my warning and to accept it as a gift. I have since researched for many hours new and traditional recommendations on how to prevent any further advancement of clogged heart plumbing, the coronary arteries.

Understanding the arteries locations, flow patterns and purpose was my 101 before the protocols.

Your Heart's Own Plumbing System:

The Coronary Arteries are the branches and suppliers for oxygenated blood to the actual heart. When the lower left chamber (ventricle) of the heart muscle contracts, known as Systole, it sends blood through the largest artery of the body, the Aorta. Then it sends oxygenated blood to the body. When it relaxes, the coronary arteries fill up to feed oxygenated blood to the heart during the resting stage, known as Diastole.

These arteries are vital for the heart muscle to be strong and healthy to then circulate blood in and out of it's 4 chambers as it receives and sends blood to the lungs and body. When they are blocked, vital oxygen is prevented from reaching our heart muscle, which in turn depletes other organs from receiving oxygenated blood to perform their actions.

Keep your plumbing lines clear, flexible, and strong so they may be healthy like finely tuned strings and pathways for the heart and body to perform like powerful instruments for a quality life. Your medical professionals, and your personal knowledge and wisdom will best advise what are appropriate steps you can take for prevention and treatment when needed for a healthy heart.  Seek proven methods in addition or instead of pharmaceuticals that may work too with less or no side effects.

My simple protocol is remembering that what goes in through me affects what my body gives back to me. Take in clean air and water, quality food, natural light, move and circulate your whole body to prevent stagnation of energy, rest when needed, induce calm thoughts and positive surroundings, and always know your body is programmed to keep you alive. Help it do it's job well.

Happy Heart,
Gina 💓

Meet Your Vagabond Vagus Nerve for Harmony.

Remember the "Operation" game? It was so hard to extract the darn "Writer's Cramp" pencil and "Spare Ribs". I played like a relentless child surgeon to get the elusive bone. I visualized a bunch of parts assembling to form one unique 3-D human form.This popular interactive board game with a red light nose and a jarring buzzer was the precursor to my interest in science.

I wish the cardboard cartoon patient in a box also illustrated and made us seek our Vagus nerve, running from the brain stem to the large intestine. Our longest nerve carries signals to varied and distant places in our body, like a Vagabond. Vagus mean Wanderer in Latin. So fitting for it's character as it includes left and right vagal nerves.

Part of the Parasympathetic Nervous System known for our "rest and digest" functions, it balances us with the more active Sympathetic Nervous System, our "fight or flight" responses. Both make up your Autonomic Nervous System.

The Vagus Nerve performs involuntary functions. Like regulating your heart beat to circulate precious blood to your organs, the digestion system for absorbing nutrients and eliminating toxins, passive lung breaths, and your immune system's ability to eradicate invaders like viruses, germs and bacteria. Less vital but important, it also allows us to produce saliva, ability to taste, sensations of touch, eye response to colors, sizes and beauty of all vision.

So this wandering nerve affects much of what we feel mentally, emotionally and physically. From our mood, sense of security, digestion, sleep patterns and healing.

Turn down any overstimulation like the city lights and loud sounds famous in Las Vegas to more peaceful shores with calming waters.

Want to sleep better, feel more serene, heal and stay well? Tap into your inner wisdom. What calms you best in times of need? For me, stopping in my tracks, pause and contemplate. Take a breath, calm the emotional self, use logic with compassion for myself and others. I might do some yoga, take a walk, a nap (yes, I now do this), or get a relaxing massage.Then trust I will know whether to activate "fight or flight," or to "rest and digest" the situation. My higher self will usually know the best solution.

BLUES OF THE BLUE RIDGE TRANSFORMED
TO RENEWAL AND BEAUTY...

WITH HELPING HANDS & HEARTS FUSED WITH NATURE'S WAY TO REPAIR & RESTORE

Last October 2024, many of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain areas were devastated by the immense rush of water's powerful forces rushing into remote and populated areas. An unusual and unexpected storm, Hurricane Helene washed away much of what was in it's path through valleys and raveens. Much like Florida's historical storms, some waded physically and mentally through surreal destruction for survival.

After it passed, humanity rose to the challenge. Mules and their owners and volunteer helicopter pilots delivered supplies, including food and medications, some offering medical aid to those in need. Others used their manual and mechanical strength to do what they could to clear areas and provide shelter. All while grasping the intensity of what happened.

I recently witnessed the transformation of sites I visited in the past to newly formed vistas and terrain. Different but still worthy of appreciation. Accepting without despair and heartache during my most recent visit somehow. I believe it was with faith, good friends, and a gift of gratitude.

My dear and long time friend, Tammy from Florida at Hickory Falls, Chimney Rock, NC joined me on hikes last weekend including Lake Lure. She now lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina. 🥾🥾

The return of the landscapes regenerate slowly with determination through Mother Earth's natural abilities like warm rays of sunlight and seasonal shifts. But there is also the nature of compassion, the human spirit, and actions that are so amazing to see and feel as they help to restore.

In yoga practice, we learn to accept what we cannot change, wisely evaluate, then either surrender peacefully, or instill focus and courage to make positive transformations happen. I returned home last week inspired, and grateful for good friends like Tammy and company, our beautiful planet, and our unique human spirit.

Save the Date! July 2-5, 2026
Fusion’s first immersion in the hills of NC. Let's help contribute to the positive energy still needed to many.

Breathe. Move. Connect.

Some things survive big changes because they are proven, and bottom line, they work. This goes for my personal mantra and our Fusion slogan, jingle, mantra, etc. These 3 powerful reminders are the keys to center and ground us. I remember ordering those beautiful word graphics for display on our wall knowing they would be great reminders for our best yoga practice.

We will Breathe.
We will Move.
We will Connect.

Be prepared to settle in to your practice with intention, an open mind, and heart. Together we will first connect with our breath through a pranayama technique.

Begin to move as we gently warm up our limbs, muscles, and bones from head to toe, calm yet stimulate our mind and body circulating some good energy, prana. We will build strength, flexibility, balance and clarity.

When the time is right, we will transition to cool down, give gratitude for what we were able to restore, then surrender to stillness and reflection.

See you on your fatihful mat as we connect with the gifts we have received.

Your excited guide,
Gina

OCTOBER 🎃FUSION FUNDAMENTALS YOGA WITH GINA & PICNIC BASKET BOOK CLUB! 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻🧘🏽‍♀️ 🧺📚📗📕

So what do we do when we our future Fusion sanctuary eludes us? We bring our energy to old and new spaces to share with others.That's right, we spread our wings, roll out our mats in perhaps unfamiliar places we may have never been, then hop on for new yoga adventures. 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏻

I spent many months diligently searching for the best location to transfer and reconstruct a special sanctuary. There are many factors than what seems obvious. Replacing our Fusion space is no easy task as I searched high and low for ideas and inspiration, negotiating with landlords and business and building owners. This summer I contemplated on trains, planes, automobiles and even a helicopter and stopa in Arizona, bike rides along a historic river, and yoga studios. ✈️🚃🚁🚲

My BIG checklist: Must accomodate a class size that would not overly crowd our ability to move and breathe freely, minimal exterior noise, proper lighting and preferably some natural light, good air flow, access to separate reception area before entering the larger studio space, bathrooms located that won't disturb class, ample and safe parking with lighting, traffic flow and reasonable commute for our existing clients, storage area, and of course, financial viability for long term plan and I must consider construction costs and timeframes to be re-opened by the peak seasonal needs.

I realize the clock has been ticking as my overstuffed garage with Fusion's contents and our Fusion community has patiently awaited some announcement for our future plans.

For now, or maybe long term, I am honored to have been invited and gladly accepted a business agreement to teach a 1 hour yoga class. Starting Mondays on October 6th at noon, join me for our All Levels Class known as Fusion Fundamentals at our Estero Parks & Recreation Center.

This upbeat class with traditional, authentic yoga practices will include options to modify movements and postures to take it down a notch, or challenge ourselves to build strength to step out of our "comfort zone". I experience both options and honor where I am on any given day and time.

The Estero Parks & Recreation Center is centrally located in Estero just off the southside of Corkscrew Road between Tamiami Trail (highway 41) and Three Oaks Parkway/I-75. Just a few minutes from our previous location.

MOUNTAINS + YOGA + FRIENDS = NATURAL MEDICINE

As a Floridian, I often feel a void without the natural medicine I get from the energy of the mountains. So recently I experienced a 4-day yoga immersion in the Smokies mixed with misty mornings, fiery sunrises, new friends, and some quiet time to restore my body and spirit. Natural Medicines that positively affect us all through our senses.

Eyes see the beauty of Mother Nature at her best with her vivid seasonal changes and vistas that span vast horizons.

Ears hear the rustle of leaves, branches blowing in the wind, crispy sounds as we traverse a forest floor, and gentle chirps and tones living creatures make to communicate in their habitat.

Noses take in the aroma of natural vegetation and pure air that awaken and cleanse our nasal cavity and spark our olfactory nerve.

Hands brush and explore the grooves of a tree's bark, the soft, cool green moss, and even soil that may calm or heighten our sense of touch.

Healthy foods, beverages to savor and fuel your body for yoga practices that take you to your edge.

When you fuse the elements of creating intentions in an incredible space to practice yoga, inspiring teachers to guide us, and new like-minded friends to experience majestic mountains, you will discover my favorite formula for renewal. I came home transformed, lifted and truly grateful.

Unusual for me to place myself in the front row. Vulnerability allows us to build courage and be brave. I didn't just survive, I thrived!

Mychal, our passionate and gifted teacher who challenged us all in a powerful 2 hour practice to reach to a higher level with focus, belief and determination! I am grateful.

The most powerful sense was when kind people touched my heart. Meet my sweet, new friends, Jen and Becky. As I sat down to dine solo for lunch, I noticed a woman get up from her group to invite me to join their table. I gladly accepted as I packed up my belongings.

Later, I entered a full event, searching for a space for my mat. Suddenly I noticed this same woman motioning to me from the front row. To my surprise, she already created my place next to her. I knew I gained a beautiful gift of friendship, never to be taken for granted. Jen, I appreciate your memorable acts of kindness. I got that warm feeling like when someone saved you a seat next to them on a crowded bus.

This was my fourth retreat to the mountains when seeking a reset, a reboot to prepare me for what's ahead. They are all unique and powerful to transcend to the next level.

Stay tuned for a future announcement for my Fusion Explorers Retreat in western North Carolina in 2026. Dates and details are being finalized soon including the options to explore and restore in the healing forests viewing spectacular summits! Who's in?

JOURNEY TO FIND THE POWER IN SHIFTING TO PEACEFUL WARRIOR

Instigating a Warrior

Once an innocent little girl who later became an impressionable teenager, I recall some sad times feeling bullied, ostracized, and belittled. My immature mind took it all personally. In turn, I became defensive, and as I have said before, a bit scrappy.

Self-Serving Warrior

Sadly, I processed my feelings poorly wanting to protect myself and reacted negatively. Thoughtless words in response were sometimes unkind and hurtful to any recipients as I expressed myself. Those words once out were irretractable.

Aware Warrior

Fortunately I was born and raised with a good conscience. I personally knew the effects of the negative ripple effect and realized I must stop my own damaging ripples. If I could take back some things I said or did, I would. Words and actions, like the ripples, may make some commotion but they are stoppable while on their paths.

Reformed Warrior

So I decided any change starts with me. I leaned in to see things from others' perspectives as I brushed myself off from any residual damage. A fresh start began by relocating, getting closer to my family, and pursuing further education. I witnessed lots of other's suffering as I became a nurse. This provided great lessons to foster true compassion with positive results from any kind words or actions I offered. The shift was real.

Spiritual Warrior

Connection with a divine and higher power guides our hearts and minds. I believe that's where our true conscience originates, and is eternal. Once I tuned in to that frequency I became more understanding, forgiving, and calm even if provoked.

Lessons:
🔹Identify what triggers you, then breathe through it as you reflect and consider options before responding.

🔹Consider the short and long-term effects of your responses.

🔹React always from a state of calm, compassion, and understanding.

🔹Forgive and ask for forgiveness when appropriate.

In yoga philosophy, Ahimsa is the behavior a yogi adopts for compassion and kindness, and discipline to do no harm. Learning this as I became a yoga teacher amplified my understanding and commitment of becoming a Peaceful and Powerful Warrior for life.

Angel wings are beautiful, gentle reminders to stay on course with ease and grace. I love these sculptures I keep within my line of vision. Oracle cards when used with mindful intention may offer divine guidance.

September is National Yoga Month, offering us a time to learn and sharpen our behaviors for peace, a happy heart, and improved physical, soulful wellness. Get on your mat, stroll in nature or simply find stillness in silence. Practice mindful meditation. Then notice the effects of being a peaceful, powerful yogi.

Aiming to be a Peaceful and Powerful Warrior,
Gina

WE WON! 🏆

I am thrilled to announce Fusion Yoga & Wellness received the honorary 2025 Community Choice Award by the Naples News and Bonita Banner for our area businesses! The finalists and winners are highlighted in a special print section that's inserted in Sunday, September 7th Naples Daily News, and the September 10th Banner editions. The award category for Fusion was Sports & Fitness,Yoga/Pilates Studios.

I usually brush off any invitations for nominations to potentially win awards in any competition. I either think they are sales scams, or a way to make a winner over others who are making an effort also to serve others with their own unique offerings. This time was different.

Maybe I just wanted a morale lift after losing our lease, and my connection with all of you. And, to be in the midst of other business professionals to network and get inspired, maybe to help me determine our future. As much as I wanted to invite the whole Fusion team, I was limited. I decided my date would be my trusted supporter and advisor since Fusion's launch, my son, Jesse. We curiously just expected a fun evening at a glitzy sold out event.

We enjoyed meeting many at the large gathering in the Naples Grande Beach Resort ballroom. Many adorned the event in sparkley dresses or nice suits as we enjoyed dinner, talked about our special businesses, got excited as they announced nominations, and glowed just to be considered.

When I heard Miss Miami announce, "Fusion Yoga & Wellness". I elevated out of my seat, an enthusiastic Woohoo erupting from my table. I admit, I think it came from me. I felt like my feet never touched the ground as I fled to the stage, and may have been prancing as I retrieved our award. I was surprisingly elated like a child winning a prized ribbon at a Science Fair.

Why did I react so differently than my usual perspective on awards and contests? I contemplated this alot. I suppose I felt rewarded that what I hoped for and envisioned was fulfilled. I named us Fusion, gathering a dream team with authentic teachers and practitioners, encouraging them to share their own signature voice, passion and talent. To share wisdom, knowledge and focused wellness oriented methods for all who were seeking. Filled with hope to all witness healing through focused determination and holistic practices, revealing powerful evidence we could transform into our healthiest lives.

So yes, I am grateful that we were recognized by real people that matter, our clients, who shared their voices and nominated us. And we won! Our small but mighty business with a special blend of gifted and passionate guides made a difference I believe.

My Fusion Family may not have been there physically, but every one of them was with me in appreciation. So, this is for all of us. Without them, we would not have been the special place to come 7 days a week for that little extra lift, growth, support and community, known as a Kula in yoga terms.

Thank you all for your support, to those that acknowledged us in their special ways, and for nominating us as a Consumer's Choice for Yoga.
Elated and grateful,
Gina

Fruits of Your Labor

I am an American born citizen with 4 grandparents who emigrated from Italy and Poland to find better work and living opportunities. During our traditional Sunday gatherings I sat at many dining room tables witnessing their inspiring stories of their incredible journey and determination. I wish I had asked more questions and kept a journal as I now realize there was much more to be learned and understood.

They told of many hardships like enduring crowded ships crossing over the Atlantic, learning English, preserving their culture while embracing mixed ones from other countries, feeling like an outcast, and then there's the dreadful labor stories.

They called them Sweat Shops, factories with low wages, long hours, war times with shortages of materials and supplies, no heat or ventilation, lack of transportation and money, food rations, and more. They all surprisingly said it was worth it. They believed they earned the Fruits of their Labor.

Opportunities, better living conditions, pride in their special talents and contributing to a growing country and industrialization. They wanted more for themselves and their families than their previous lives had to offer. They found the Golden Ticket, like entry to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Over 140 years ago a federal holiday was eventually sealed, Labor Day. The first Monday of every September so we may observe and celebrate all who shared in the past and present to serve others. Whether with tools of trade, hospitality, farming, health care, education, public service, there should be no service for others unrecognized.
This weekend I hope you enjoy barbecues with your favorite foods, swim in the sea, bask in the sun, play in the park, read a book, do whatever makes your heart hum. I wish rest for the weary, peace for the troubled and reflection with a smile on a job well done. Thank you for making this country a better place for me, and others.

Serving happily with a smile,
Gina

Perseverance and Persistence with Passion Pays Off ☄️ 🥾🥾🌈🌈

I was once told I hang on to things like a dog with a bone, apparently known to be tenacious. Some are naturally disciplined, but I need a strong reason and urgency, then I get going! I have also been called a "fireball", having high energy with determination but need purpose for any passion in the process.

I recall a motivational poster that inspired me, "You don't fail until you stop trying", reportedly by Einstein. Quitting a mission not being a good option unless the outcome is no longer desirable. Wisdom is evaluating that possibility to make the best decision.

Sometimes we have no choice but to take a path of persistence and perseverance. Like preparing for a storm, a challenging trip or work project, or then there's the annual tax filing. You get the idea. In yoga philosophy it's known as instilling Tapas, inner drive and self-discipline to get things done. In a physical practice it would including hiking to a summit or achieving a powerful yoga balance pose.

In 2021 at a Yoga Festival in Telluride, Colorado, I tackled the strenous hike up to over 11,000 feet, feeling bitter cold, winded and tired. But Natalie and I made it to the spectacular view including double rainbows, one for each of us. The bonus reward for our Tapas.
I have sometimes wondered if my weekly blogs that need time and energy to create are worthwhile, an option but not a requirement. Because I received much positive feedback over the years and I learn and share in the process, it makes them worthwhile. Using old school thinking and writing from the heart without use of artificial intelligence except an occasional spell check and a dictionary. For now I do all the administrative duties with ingenuity to get blogs formatted and timely posted, tasked to keep my maturing brain stimulated with forgotten software programs.

Mission accomplished. My blogs get done, sent out through complicated technology systems, social media programs and remembering of new passwords. I have learned the ins and outs through trial and error. Yes, I see the same "oopsie" typos and formatting you may have witnessed although I proof them many times. I cringe when I see what was blind to me previously. So kind of you for enduring them anyway. I feel empowered and rewarded.

Please share any themes and events you would like to see in the future. And, if you prefer blogs weekly or maybe monthly.

So, what's your proud "pay off" moment because you persevered and kept the fire in you burning no matter the difficulty? Reflect and enjoy the memory.

Your Passionate Fireball,
Gina ☄️
