Just a reminder!

07/04/2026

Eight years ago I stepped into the YMCA and picked up a barbell for the first time.

I was seeing too many examples of what happened when we didn’t build or maintain our strength. I was 49 and I didn’t want to become frail and helpless as I aged.

I had used machine weights and dumbbells many times but never very heavy. I had certainly never picked up that intimidating looking bar.

It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I was alone, nervous, had very little idea what I was doing, but I did it.

The numbers have certainly changed over the years. There have been ups and downs, injuries and setbacks, and plenty of times I’ve wanted to give up. But I’ve kept lifting consistently, in some way, shape, or form, for 8 years. I have no intention of ever stopping.

The benefits have been numerous. Strength to do all the things I want to do, of course. But also a sense of achievement and empowerment that is hard to explain.

When you prove to yourself that you can do hard things, like lift heavy weights, it gets easier to take on hard things everywhere else in life.

Thank you to my biggest supporters, Scott and Joshua. And thank you to the many that have encouraged and supported me along the way. And taking a cue from Snoop: most of all I want to thank me. For showing up, over and over again.

To my ladies that have been inspired by me to start lifting and those that have lifted with me…Don’t ever stop.

Happy Independence Day!

In yoga, santosha means contentment. It’s learning to be at peace with where you are and what you have.

In our physical practice, that might look like appreciating what we can do today instead of judging it against what we could do yesterday or wishing it looked different.

We can still want to do and be better, but that desire doesn’t stop us from appreciating who we are and all we’ve achieved right now.

Santosha reminds us that our practice doesn’t have to be perfect. Just show up, breathe, and accept yourself in this moment.

See you on the mat, my friends.

Start your holiday weekend moving your body and centering your mind.

I’ll be subbing for the 12:15 yoga class tomorrow and would love to see you!

And if you want to get your groove on before yoga, Rochelle will be shaking it in Zumba at 11!

It’s the best of both worlds!

Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years, but modern science is catching up to what practitioners have known all along.

Research consistently shows that a regular yoga practice can improve strength, balance, flexibility, and mobility while reducing stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. It has also been linked to better sleep, lower blood pressure, improved heart health, and enhanced overall well-being.

The best part? You don’t have to be flexible or experienced to benefit. You simply have to begin.

Every time you step onto your mat, you’re investing in both your physical and mental health. That’s a habit worth building.
