I use yoga to help intuitive women CONNECT with their BODIES to experience HEALING & GROWTH!

Where do you receive your inspiration, insight & lessons from?

I get a lot of mine from nature — trees, flowers, clouds, water… even my houseplants.

What I’ve learned lately:

1. It’s okay to change my mind when I’ve taken on too much — it’s an act of self love to make adjustments when I better understand my needs & capacity. (I went from 8 plants down to 4 this year) 🥹

2. When it’s time to grow & expand, it will look and feel like things are breaking apart. Don’t panic! (This is the 4th pot my firstborn rubber tree has inhabited in our short 3 years together… each new pot came b/c the previous one broke!) 😅

3. Look past what’s in front of you & observe how decay + regrowth coexist in perfect balance. (Many of the leaves have scars & breaks… but she keeps growing) 🌱

That feels nice, doesn’t it? 💖

I’ve used all sorts of affirmations over the years.

Some about money, some about my self-worth, others about who I am and what I’m here to do.

I found these specific ones, as they relate to my human design type — a projector.

It can feel hard to know what we are meant to do & who we are meant to be, and for that reason… what we need to AFFIRM within ourselves.

If you read these, you’ll get a taste for the areas within myself that feel like challenges. 🥲

It’s helpful to remember that we are conscious, powerful beings — and we all have an important role to play in this great web of life.

When we accept that our perspective & thoughts influence our experience of reality, it’s easier to understand why affirming ourselves is so helpful. And powerful!

We are the only ones who can offer this level of acceptance & love. Especially when we feel lost, confused, out of place or directionless.

I’m here to be a guide. To help others navigate their path & step into their own alignment.

Reminding myself of that every day helps me move through the world feeling connected… and like ME!✨

What’s a supportive affirmation for you right now? (Or if you don’t have any — what comes to mind?)

Feel free to share with (& inspire) the rest of us in the comments below! 🫶✨⬇️

Don’t you love it when things don’t go to plan? 😆 *A Biz Update*

2022 was like that for me. There wasn’t one thing that happened the way I planned.

I spent a good deal of that time in a state of sympathetic overwhelm — fighting, freezing, flighting, fawning.

I stopped taking new clients & did only what was needed - nothing extra.

And in that span of 8 months… so much happened!

I learned a lot about myself.
The beliefs that eroded my self trust.
The looping mental stories that kept me dysregulated.
The deep yearning for peace, ease, fulfillment & joy.

I faced the part of me that’s always believed “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE” — and asked through wails & tears, “Are you fu***ng sure?”

Amidst the questions & confusion, I kept showing up.

As layers of compassion & courage compounded, I felt peace about serving once again. Hello, 2023.

As you know, I launched the program that combined my 1-on-1 therapeutic yoga expertise with my desire to connect a like-minded community:

✨The Conscious Asana Blueprint✨

Then something crazy happened…

Private client inquiries started coming out of the woodwork.

One after another — people seeking out my guidance & expertise.

People interested in the group program have shared that the time just isn’t right yet.

So these past weeks of reflection have shown me this:
While IT IS time for me to serve, it will look different than what I had planned.

I’m going to focus on my 1-on-1 work a little longer.
I’m going to develop some ‘behind the scenes’ projects.

And in May 2023, The Conscious Asana Blueprint will start it’s inaugural cohort! 🎉

Thanks for being here.
Thanks for supporting the work that I do, however you do it.
Thanks for letting me be human, first.

Here’s to embracing the unplanned.

Let’s get it 🙌

I’ve been moving through a lot in my personal life, business life, & larger community life in the last two months.

I’ve taken space from actively “social media’ing” & tried to more deeply connect to my own essence.

Who is Anna? What does she like to talk about? What does she love to do? What gets her excited?

And I’ve made it a priority to disconnect from what I can DO (read: produce) — and make space for what I can RECEIVE.

I’ve tapped into the things that fill me up the most. I’m learning how to build them into my week. I’m giving myself small gifts every single day.

A cup of black coffee.
A beautiful bike ride.
Swimming in fresh water pools. Showering naked in an outdoor locker room.
Stretching in the grass.
Staring at clouds.
Meeting new friends.
Eating a deeply nourishing meal.

Everything I do — I want it to come from a place of joy, abundance, generosity, excitement, compassion, love, authenticity, fulfillment & connection.

Inevitably, this space to receive has opened me up in new ways — and shown me what I want to GIVE, too.

My voice - in an community choir.

My energy - volunteering my services to non-profits in my area.

My time - committing to continued higher education to help me further my path of service.

My expertise - to my future clients who want to learn how to strengthen their connection to themselves in a deeply nourishing way. **more on this soon**

I’m just excited to be here & to have a place to share my experiences + insights. I hope this offers you whatever permission slip you need for yourself in this moment. 💕

This is a gentle reminder that just because you CAN… does not mean you MUST.

Discernment, or in Sanskrit, Viveka (विवेक) is a skill that gives us back our autonomy & power.

How can you practice discernment in your life this week?

1️⃣ When you feel anger or frustration bubbling up inside of you, pause & breathe — will my outburst help or harm myself or others?

2️⃣ When a new task or obstacle presents itself — am I really the only person who can address this, or am I just taking on more work to make myself feel important?

3️⃣ This negative feeling I have toward this other person — is this really about them, or is there something that is trying to be reflected back for me?

These examples show how you can use your own discernment: pausing before you react, pausing before you add more stress to your life, pausing to learn something about yourself when you feel the negativity bubble up inside.

Discernment sets us free from the burden of others & allows us to be more conscious about what we do with our own energy.

And if you haven’t been told yet today…

Your energy is precious, my friend. Use it thoughtfully. 💕

Once upon a time, there was a young college student at a TOMS warehouse sale.

She spotted a pair of beautiful sunglasses (valued $150) & snagged them for $30.

It was the first time she had actually bought something *really* nice for herself. (Even if she didn’t spend the full amount on the shades, she knew what they were WORTH!)

And so for the next 5 years, she’d take great care of them.

From everyday activities to life-changing adventures, these sunglasses were there. Ready to protect her eyes & keep her looking cute AF.

She’d repaired them multiple times over the years b/c she loved them so much! She took pride in knowing that they were one-of-a-kind at this point.

Then one day she hopped on a bike and put the glasses in their case - like she always did. She placed them gently into the bike’s basket.

As she rode along the trail, she didn’t have a care in the world!

She rode 2 miles down the trail before realizing that the sunglasses were gone.

She turned around frantically & rode ALL the way back - retracing her steps in the hopes of finding her beloved shades.

Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be found.

Of all the close calls over the years of misplacing the shades… this time, they were gone for good.

The sadness & anger flooded her mind & body instantly. She felt as though she had lost part of herSELF.

This item that she had looked after, kept safe, & fixed multiple times- gone in a moment.

After a few hours of sulking, she realized that those glasses represented her journey over the last five years.

And she wasn’t that young woman anymore who needed to be looked after, saved or fixed.

So the next day she spent $125 on a pair of sunglasses worth $250.

Then she smiled b/c she realized something else…

She was now stepping into her next phase: BOUGIE, UNAPOLOGETIC SELF-LOVE

What phase are you stepping into right now? ✨

16/04/2022

I’m sharing my musings following a powerful conversation with a fellow body worker & healer. She shared her current struggles with adopting a new useful habit & we questioned reality together.

I want to show you how powerful you really are. And more specifically, how powerful your beliefs are. They shape almost *everything* about your experience of reality.

I’d love to hear what stands out to you! Catch you in the comments ✨

13/04/2022

A reminder to:

- show up for yourself each day, as best as you can

- start before you feel “ready”

- show love & respect to your beautiful body

- appreciate each win as it comes in… don’t hold off celebrating

- drink plenty of water

- ask for the support you need

- eat some fruits & vegetables this week

- set up an adult play date

- move your body in ways that make you smile & give you those excited feels

- sit with your feelings when they come up

- cook or bake yourself something to eat

- say NO when your gut tells you to

- voice the boundary that feels scary

- tell the people you love that you LOVE them

- meditate when you’d rather scroll your feed for 5 minutes

- take big, full, mood-altering breaths

- make that phone call

- get high

- question ever rule that you cite for why you “can’t” do something

- witness the sunset

- snuggle your fur babies… I mean really shove your face in there

- do the thing

I’m out here life’ing with you my friend ✨

What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Chronic Pain

When you see your doctor about your pain or injury – did they suggest one of the following?
1️⃣ Pain Medication
2️⃣ Surgery/ies
3️⃣ Just rest & wait it out…

I thought so.

If you opt for medication, then you’re reliant on pharmaceutical substances for relief – & the underlying cause of your pain is ignored.

If you opt for surgery, you could end up with more physical complications. (As many surgical interventions are overly invasive and unnecessary) And no, I’m not talking about situations where surgery is the *only* option.

If you opt to rest & wait it out… you walk around babying the area, never feeling confident in using it for fear of making the injury worse! (Or maybe you go back to activity once the pain subsides… and definitely make it worse.)

This is how pain becomes CHRONIC.  
Where it is consistent, recurring, and difficult to eradicate.

So what isn’t your doctor telling you?

Well, they’re not telling you what they don’t know.

And that is that many injuries and chronic pain issues can be relieved without medication or surgery. Just you and your body.

Yep, that’s right! 🤓

Doctors learn SO MUCH in their training – but unfortunately, body mechanics aren’t a big part of that training. (Neither is nutrition… but that’s a topic for another day)

Here’s the truth: you have all the tools that you need to heal your own body.

It’s all about finding the right guide. ✨

Something I’d thought I’d NEVER do again (that I just DID):
 Lead a group of obstacle course racing (OCR) hopefuls through a wall climbing technique session.

The OG’s around this page know that OCR was my first true love in movement. 😎💪🔥

Doing what I do now, it seems almost absurd that I would ever volunteer myself to do something like this again!

As a therapeutic yoga teacher, I empower people to find healing.

Not hurt themselves! 😂

Then I thought about it.

Why am I making the assumption that OCR only hurts people?
 I realized that I used to blame OCR for my injuries and problems. In telling my story over the years, I’ve painted OCR as a vice that kept me from truly dealing with the deeper issues in my life.

But upon reflection something else has become much clearer:

OCR helped me overcome a lot of obstacles in my real life, that at the time I needed help with.

My experience coaching & running OCR molded me into the type of coach, leader, guide & human that I am today.

Those events back then gave me the gift of self confidence that I could BE, DO, and HAVE ANYTHING I wanted!

And THAT is healing. ✨

** Permission to reflect on & release current beliefs or assumptions about yourself that are no longer serving you **

Moving Through An Anxious High

We all get high for different reasons.

You might do it to help you fall asleep, to stimulate your appetite after being sick, to wind down after a long day at work, to elevate your yoga practice, or make whatever it is you’re doing a *little* bit more exciting.

But perhaps after ingesting, you start to feel antsy….

Your mind begins to wander and race. You feel sensations throughout your body. You sense anxiety creeping in.

What was initially an attempt to ease your mind and body has suddenly catapulted you in the opposite direction.

But why did this happen? And how can you prevent it in the future?

(B/c we both know this isn’t the first time this has happened. And it probably won’t be the last.)

I want to share with you a few things you can do when you find yourself in the thick of it. (B/c becoming “un-high” ain’t an option)

1. Close your eyes & take a few deep breaths. Your body is trying to communicate with you - & you can only listen if you slow down & get present. 
2. Grab your journal & write, “What do I need to know right now?” This is a Q you’re presenting to your subconscious. Let yourself free-write for +/- a few minutes, see what comes up. Resist forcing anything, just let the thoughts & words flow.  
3. Get into your body. Whether this is on your yoga mat, taking a walk outside, or dancing! Anxious energy in the body is best dispelled through movement.  This is where I would start.   If you find that you usually just sit there all anxious, or go to sleep b/c it feels like you can’t do anything else… then give this a try!   Sometimes, what you need to know is BIG. And sometimes, what you need to know is NOT big.   But if you never ask, you’ll never know, and your body will continue to signal for your attention.  So be BRAVE - & give yourself that attention. You deserve this. 💛

✨ A reminder for when you’re stuck in the hard place of healing ✨

Despite the fact that you’re a work in progress…

Or that you have so many lessons still to learn…

Or that you have made so many mistakes that have hurt so many people…

You are not broken.

There’s nothing you could do right now that would make you MORE worthy of love, care, acceptance, or joy.

You just are.

If you’re finding yourself in the depths of your own “stuff,” & you’re feeling like you have so much work to do on yourself…

Remember that you are inherently good. You are not broken.

23/02/2022

I used to think I knew everything.

I actually thought I was the exception to the rule of unfounded arrogance in early 20-something’s.

It’s cool, you can laugh. 😂 Maybe that was you too? (Or is? Listen, we all go through it.)

During those years — I was on a self-righteous crusade of fixing as many people as I could.

I thought that if they could just adopt MY perspectives, habits & skills… they’d be “fixed”!

Here’s what I know in retrospect: I NEEDED to FIX people in order to prove that I was worthy to be a coach.

When I look back, it becomes abundantly clear how much I really DID NOT KNOW.

Things like: Nuance. Context. Life experience. Privilege. Accessibility. The list goes on.

I was so focused on proving my own worth & validity, that I was actually making it impossible to help anyone at all.

The focus on “fixing” kept me from helping.

I think this is why my calling has shifted. I consider myself a guide & healer now… above all else.

Now I know I don’t know everything. But here’s what I DO know.

I’m not here to fix you - I’m here to help you. ✨

03/02/2022

I know what you want.
And I know why you struggle.

Here’s what you need to know to confidently start processing & healing…

I also offer a message of vulnerability, hope & love, from me to you. May we all get actualized AF. ✨

The most painful reality is knowing your potential – & not living up to it.

You know your general trajectory in life, and yet you feel lost every step of the way.

What should you do next? What haven’t you faced? What is the piece you’re avoiding?

And so the cycle goes.
Most days feel like torture.

You make your plans & create your lists & do all the “right” things – but you don’t feel the sense of PEACE that you’re searching for.

The contentment that comes with knowing that you’re living in your purpose – & trust in your own journey.

So what’s holding your soul hostage & keeping you stuck in a loop of “good enough”?

You haven’t cultivated an intimate relationship with your body.

Your vessel.

Your physical temple that you are joined with in this lifetime.

I know what you’re thinking…

“Anna! I eat plenty of really great food, I exercise multiple times per week, I meditate, I go to therapy, I stretch, and I rest! WHAT am I missing!?”

Here’s what you’re missing: You Are Going Through The Motions.

Whew! Okay. I said it. 😅

I know that’s hard to hear & I’m not afraid of your rage. (It means that you give SO many righteous f***s, & I’m here for that!)

You are on a mastery-level soul mission of serving humanity, & yet you’re holding back with YOURSELF!

The physical body holds more wisdom, knowing, & intuition than most humans have ever experienced.

And this is the KEY.

The physical body holds all of the secrets.
Your secrets.
Your deepest desires, fears and programs.

Letting your body SHOW you your truth is what is going to stop the cycle.

It is going to catapult you into your most alive, connected, & exciting reality imaginable.

As a therapeutic yoga practitioner, it’s my soul’s mission to open YOU up to yours.

I’m going to be opening up space for one-on-one clients in the very near future.

If this is interesting to you, then comment ANY emoji below! I’ll reach out.

I felt her energy when she walked through the door.

I heard the words she said. And the ones she didn’t.

I lit the incense, took a deep breath & smiled. Then I laid out the props.

“Lie back here. Bring your arms into this position. Welcome & affirm your arrival in this space,” I said.

Within 5 minutes, she was lucid. Present. Self-aware. She was ready for me guide the journey.

As we began, I could feel her body’s messages that needed to be felt & released.

We activated the spine.
Opened the channels.
Expanded her to think and feel more deeply.

The session was fueled by intuition.
I could see the layers of self-doubt melting away.

She finally laid on her back, arms and legs splayed, taking up space.

As I placed my thumbs on her temples & third eye, suddenly the wisdom she’d been waiting for came through —

“Trust yourself. Your intuition KNOWS what’s next. It KNOWS what to do,” she said.

Tears of gratitude poured from her eyes.
She was speaking to us both.

The thing about these sessions is that they’re for YOU… & they’re for me.

When you step into my space - there’s an agreement.

You’ll show up for your part, I’ll show up for mine, & the universe will meet our needs simultaneously.

“That was the most badass, energetically charged, life-changing session that I’ve ever had with you,” she said.

I allowed her words to pe*****te my heart & accepted this compliment graciously.

The truth is, I don’t always know what’s going to happen during a session.

But when I listen & trust — everyone wins. ✨

20/01/2022

Taking yourself too seriously is a recipe for good ole-fashioned STUCKness.

Create and take opportunities to laugh, to be playful, to make fun of yourself.

Let THAT decision clear you of the stuck energy — let that action of your own free will show you the next step.

Do you really have to be sober to heal? 🤔 
There are plenty of spiritual healer types out there with a self-righteous air about them, saying that sobriety is king on this path.

They’re implying that if you’re under the influence of a substance… then it’s not “really you” doing all the work.

You’re not really present. You can’t really remember.

I call bu****it.

There was a time when cannabis played a sinister role in my life.

I spent every second of every day plotting for when I could take my next hit.

It was my escape — I felt like I couldn’t really be myself without it. So much so that, for five years, I really didn’t know if I could stop.

Then I took a year off. (The story about how I got to that point? That’s for another time.)

That year brought on some of the most real feelings I’d ever faced. But I learned about who I *really* was during that time.

And I fell in love with myself.

You might be asking (like my mom) — “Then why did you start smoking again?”

The truth is, I really really LIKE IT!

It took learning how to be myself WITHOUT cannabis, to be open to the concept of using it consciously.

Now when I get high, it amplifies the BEST parts of who I am and opens me up even MORE!

And that’s what healing is all about.
Being open. Being honest. Being vulnerable.

So do you NEED substances? Abso—fu***ng-lutley not.

But if you really like cannabis and want to use it as a tool in your own healing and life…

You abso-fu***ng-lutely can.

29/11/2021

There was never a more self-fulfilling prophecy than my passion being mistaken for anger.

Uhhh… I wasn’t angry. But you can bet your ass I am NOW!

(Have you had this experience too?)

Being emotionally misunderstood by other people is one of the most isolating experiences you can have.

The constant wondering… Why can’t I be more chill? Why can’t I just shut up? Why can’t I just be normal? Nobody else has this freaking problem.

Being misunderstood is not your problem. You do not have to *change* how you express just to appeal to other people.

It can’t be said enough that THEIR inability to understand you… is a THEM thing.

That is to say -- they’re already dead set on NOT understanding you.

And this, my friend, brings me to the POINT. (I know you were wondering where I’m going with this. But you’re still here. Because you are set on understanding me. Thank you for that.)

When you see this misunderstanding as a THEM thing, you give yourself space to behave differently. You open up the door to take control over what is yours to control… and leave the rest.

You can control how you respond to these experiences.

Where once you felt the need to explain yourself, you now have the understanding to say “Okay!” and leave it at that.

And this is VERY important!

When you let go of the need to explain yourself, you are choosing YOUR PEACE over SOMEONE ELSE’S ACCEPTANCE.

DO NOT:
-          Overanalyze yourself
-          Dim your shine to make others feel more comfortable
-          Dilute your essence to make yourself more palatable

You don’t owe anyone comfort in your presence.

You deserve the peace that comes from knowing that there is nothing wrong with you.

21/11/2021

I know you don’t like to cry. And that you hurt when it happens.

I know a lot of s**t comes up that you haven’t thought about in years.

And it makes you feel unsafe & out of control.

I know you’re scared to open the flood gates — because honest to GOD, you don’t know how to close them.

I also know you’ve made a habit out of ignoring bad feelings & distracting yourself.

And that you’ve done this to protect yourself. And that’s okay, friend.

But lately you’ve got this nagging feeling.

Like you woke up and said…
“Who the f**k am I?”
Even though your whole life you’ve been SO SURE.

And maybe that makes you wanna cry.

This is a big moment for you - because you have two options:

1. Distract.
2. Engage.

Distraction is the easy choice. Nothing has to change. You don’t have to reconcile your fears, grief, sadness or guilt. You can go on pretending like it’s “alllll gooood.”

But deep down you know this means nothing will change.

Engaging? That s**t is SCARY. You have no idea what’s waiting for you on the other side!

Engaging means EVERYTHING will change.

If you want to find peace, you have to engage with the scary unknowns.

You HAVE to welcome your tears.

Tears represent feelings unfelt.

And when they are released… you’re free. 💛

“When we emphasize the outcome of our personal growth work over the process, we deny ourselves an important gift.

Healing through slow, steady work enhances our self-esteem. It gives us the conviction that we can tackle anything.

When we focus on healing progressively, we embrace the idea that we evolve throughout our lives.

We begin to understand that the process of evolution is as healing as the outcome.”

— Bo Forbes PsyD

How often do you REALIZE that your body hurts? (Either when you wake up in the morning or anytime throughout your day)

Is there tension in your neck and shoulders? Are your back & hips feeling sore? Do you sometimes injure yourself, moving quickly without thinking?

If this sounds like you… read on… 🔍

What if you were able to intuitively address any and all of these aches and pains in your body, from the comfort of your home?

What if you could learn to progressively relax and release various muscles in your body that feel tight and rigid?

What if you could go about your day without noting an area of your body that’s “not working right due to old age”? (You youngin’s know who you are!)

What if you moved through the world kinder, calmer, more clear-headed & intentionally?

This is completely possible for you. It’s available to you.
This version of reality is just one decision away.
And it’s a decision that YOU get to make!

The secret to all of this is a mindful & therapeutic yoga practice.
It can offer you the tools to bring this reality forward.

And you’re in luck! ✨  Because you STILL have the opportunity to enroll in my November virtual group yoga program! (6 hours of classes done live or via recording!)

The best time to start your yoga practice was a year ago.
The second best time is now.

DM me for *all* the deets — or check my story highlight titled “Group Yoga”.

If this is something you’ve been thinking about doing, reach out!
I would love to be able to empower you on your journey! 💖 We start in TWO DAYS!

(B/c becoming “un-high” ain’t an option) 1. Close your eyes & take a few deep breaths. Your body is trying to communicate with you - & you can only listen if you slow down & get present.  2. Grab your journal & write, “What do I need to know right now?” This is a Q you’re presenting to your subconscious. Let yourself free-write for +/- a few minutes, see what comes up. Resist forcing anything, just let the thoughts & words flow.   3. Get into your body. Whether this is on your yoga mat, taking a walk outside, or dancing! Anxious energy in the body is best dispelled through movement.  This is where I would start.   If you find that you usually just sit there all anxious, or go to sleep b/c it feels like you can’t do anything else… then give this a try!   Sometimes, what you need to know is BIG. And sometimes, what you need to know is NOT big.   But if you never ask, you’ll never know, and your body will continue to signal for your attention.  So be BRAVE - & give yourself that attention. You deserve this. 💛 #anxiousmind #therapeuticyoga #emotionalhealing #ganjayoga #nervoussystem

A note on conscious cannabis consumption. The best gift you can give yourself on your cannabis journey: INTENTION When I started incorporating cannabis back into my life after 6 years of unconscious use + a 1 year hiatus… I realized that it wasn’t the plant that was doing me dirty. It was my lack of intention when using the plant. (Read that again.) I’m the past, my consumption didn’t have any purpose. This is what I mean when I say “unconscious use” — I didn’t have a good reason, or at least, didn’t understand what I wanted from the experience. Each time I got high further etched negative experiences into my mind and my body. This led to years of anxiety, overwhelm & self-doubt. Years of running away from myself… staying just far enough ahead to not get caught up. After I took a year off from using the plant… I felt called to start again with my use, but I truly was scared to start smoking again. I was afraid that I would resort back to those behaviors that always left me feeling negatively. I had to do something differently. When I started approaching my use of cannabis with intention, suddenly my experience shifted. I was seeing & appreciating the plant for what she truly was 👉 MEDICINE Whatever it is that you are seeking, start with that intention. Open yourself up to it. Approach it with a conscious awareness. Resist the urge to blow through it quickly… the urge to use more than you need… Prepare to be taken on a journey. Trust & allow that conscious awareness to guide you to where you need to be. Hot tip - I like to keep my journal close by, to help me process some of my thoughts, feelings & ideas. As you get better with this, insights will really start to flow! #ganjayogaytt #ganjayogateachertraining #ganjayogapollination #ganjayoga #deedussaultsganjayoga #yogateacher #yogatherapy #consciousconsumer

How To Eat Right? There’s. No. Wrong. All eating is right eating. 🙌 The trick is this — what’s right for YOU, may be wrong for ME! Here are some questions to consider when it comes to determining what to eat: ⚡️ What do you enjoy eating? ⚡️ What is locally available to you? ⚡️ What makes your body feel energized? ⚡️ What do you get excited about eating? ⚡️ What foods are in season? ⚡️ What food have you always wanted to try? Other factors to consider might be: allergies, intolerances, appetite, & cooking mechanisms available to you. Remember that ALL eating is RIGHT eating because your body NEEDS to be nourished! 😍

A day in the life of a chronic dieter’s metabolism - can you relate? 😂 #wellnessguide #habitsofhealth #coachingtips #coachinglife #wellnesscoach #f**kdietculture #metabolism #dietculturedropout #nutritiontips #wellnesslifestyle

When a casual conversation about “health” and “fitness” leads to doubt about what you know and do... 😳 Friend A: “I stopped eating fruit so I could decrease my sugar intake - do you know how much sugar is in fruit?!” 🤨 Friend B: “I’m doing a power flow yoga class 5x/week @ 5am - studies show that mornings are the best time to workout!” 😜 Friend C: “I put ACV & lemon into my water.. it helps you burn fat! Holidays here I come!” 🥸 ** Psssst! If any of these statements make ya feel cringey, this is for you! ** What’s the most important skill needed to stop comparing yourself to others, & keep your health in alignment with your own values? ✨ DISCERNMENT ✨ (the ability to judge well) This doesn’t mean to be judgmental, but to judge for yourself whether something is meant for you or not. 👉 So you hear a new thought/opinion/perspective - how do you practice discernment? 1️⃣- Take a breath. Hear what is being suggested without judging it. (Maybe that fits the other person’s values?) 2️⃣- Check in with your own values (ex: connection, joy, grace?) & decide if this thing aligns with them. 3️⃣- Integrate, or walk away. Either it will fit (in which case you want to find a way to integrate that) or it will contradict (in which case you’ll leave it there.) You don’t ever have to explain yourself to anyone else — you’re the one who lives with you 24/7, & the one who gets to decide how that time is spent. 🙌 Practicing discernment breeds confidence, & confident humans don’t require the approval or permission from others to do what feels right. Like a breath of fresh air 🍃

🤔 Have you ever been stretching, but instead of focusing on what you’re doing, you find yourself daydreaming, having a conversation or scrolling through your phone? This is the most COMMON mistake I see for people who are trying to build more flexibility! 🤭 Go ahead and tag a someone you know who struggles with this… 😅👇 There’s no shaming here – that used to be me! I used to feel frustrated with my progress, and desperate for something that would help me find the mobility in my body that I was looking for. 😖 Once I started my yoga teacher journey, I uncovered an approach to flexibility that now leaves me feeling confident and excited! I want to share with you 3 Ways to Build Your Flexibility! These have been life changing for my body and I know they can be for you too! 🙌 3 WAYS TO BUILD YOUR FLEXIBILITY 1. Learn to focus on your breathing 💨 The breath is what connects our minds and our bodies. In order to move oxygen through our muscles we have to consciously be moving the air in and out of our lungs. It’s easy for the mind to wander, but focus on keeping your attention with your inhales and exhales. Deepen them as you’re able. 2. Get comfortable with discomfort ⛈ Typically the pose where you feel the most unsettled is the best place for you to be. (NOT injurious pains, just positions that you can be in, but they don’t exactly feel fun.) That unsettled feeling is your body’s way of saying, “Hi hello this space needs some attention please!” 3. Prioritize breath cycles over time spent 🌒🌓🌔 Focusing on the breath, instead of waiting for 60 seconds to be over, will help you progress faster. I start with a minimum of 15 breath cycles and go longer as my body begins to settle. There you have it! 👏 When it comes to building flexibility, it is less about the pose that you’re doing, and more about HOW you’re doing it! 👀 It’s time to look at your stretching routine differently and ex

For many of you, the idea of yoga is very appealing! Having better body awareness, mobility, confidence, peace of mind, and a self-care practice, who doesn’t want that? 😀The problem is… there are too many barriers. Right? You’re not thin enough, you’re not flexible enough, you’re not patient enough, you’re not _______ enough, and so it goes. I feel you, friend. 😒 You could wait until you “become” those things, sure. But who knows if that’s where you'll end up or how long it will take. I think you’re better off just meeting yourself where you’re at. I’m on a mission to 👊 break down these barriers to help you see that you can do yoga, and the only prerequisite is that desire that you have. I’m hosting a 3-Part Workshop Series just for YOU! It’s designed to help you build strength, improve your flexibility, and learn how to meditate. A well balanced yoga practice requires skills in all of these areas to be safe and effective - and I want to introduce them to you! The link in my bio will give you all the extra information you need. It’s 3 sessions, 2 hours each, $75 total. Let me be your guide to beginning your own yoga practice. 🧘 I want you this practice to feel accessible to you. I want you to feel confident in yourself. I want you to give yourself permission to experience the benefits that a yoga practice can bring. Namaste, friends. 🙏 #yogainspiration #yogisoul #yogabeginner #truthseeker #innerself #innerguidance #mindfulnesspractice #mindfulnessmeditation #perspectiveiseverything #newperspectives #startyourjourney #femaleentrepreneur #smallbusinesses #inspirationseed #entrepreneurwoman #entrepreneurgoals #healthierme #mindbodygram #coachingonline #bebetterthanyesterday #growthmindset #investinyourself #allbodiesaregoodbodies #bodyacceptance #strengthening #flexibilitytraining #meditationpractice #yogaworkshop #yogateachers

I’m diving into some real talk about my personal experience with eating seasonally. You’re not getting a step by step guide here... you’re getting a (maybe?) comical self-actualizing monologue about how shopping seasonally can help you avoid burnout with your favorite foods and expand your own pallet! And guess what - YOU DON’T HAVE TO EAT FOODS YOU DON’T LIKE 👏 Enjoy. And feel free to tell me how to cook squash or zucchini.. or how else hummus fits into your life. 😂 Sharing is caring! 💕

There’s something I’ve been wanting to talk about with you all for awhile now, but never felt truly compelled to - until now. Collective trauma has a physiological (& psychological) impact on all of us, and denying our realities based on that truth is blasphemous if we are in the wellness field. Don’t be a predator, & don’t allow yourself to become prey. Weight gain in the wake of a global crisis is not only normal... it is expected, and you do not deserve to be shamed... you do not need to be fixed! 👏 #quarantine #quarantinefifteen #quaranweight #quarantine15 #quarantineweight #shame #shameless #shamestorm #stopshaming #encourageothers #encouragement #globaltrauma #collectivetrauma #youareokay #yourfeelingsareokay #yourbodyisokay #weightguilt
