It’s always been me versus me.

Every day, I show up ready to go a little deeper, to keep learning and growing.

I’m not chasing someone else’s version of success or comparing my progress to theirs.

Sometimes, we set goals or want certain things without having a why. We do it subconsciously and end up comparing our journey to everyone else’s. Or start desiring what they have. It’s easy to fall into this trap, especially with so many of us documenting and sharing our lives online.

But remember, we’re not all meant to be on the same path or take the same road. It’s okay if someone else’s journey looks different.

I’m very comfortable doing things a little different. And letting my journey unfold as God intended.

Their journey is theirs. Mine is mine 🫶🏾

Grateful for yesterday, today, and tomorrow 🤎

I honestly can’t believe my body can do this. My scoliosis, mom-of-2, 30-something body can do THIS! Each time, it’s a sweet surprise. I’m literally shocked.

It’s a reminder that the limiting beliefs I placed on my body were wrong. I don’t come from a gymnastics or dance background. Actually, I’ve always been very inflexible 😩 But my practice has taught me that the body and mind are capable of so much more.

I’ve learned that the hardest part isn’t the skill or the drills. It’s showing up every day and working toward something, even when it feels like it’s not working. Can we continue to practice and trust the process along the way? Not just on our mats, but off our mats too.

I still have so much work to do. Honestly, it feels like I’m just getting started, with so many new things happening at once 😭 But the growth I’m seeing this season is enough to keep me putting in the work.

So, we did it. It happened. Today was more than I

So, we did it. It happened. Today was more than I envisioned, but what stood out to me the most was when someone said after class, ‘Wow, thank you for this experience.’ That’s when I knew all the hard work was worth it. It’s not just a class—it’s an experience. These are the kinds of experiences I’ve always sought in other places but found challenging to find. I’m beyond thankful that I now get to curate experiences like these for others. We moved our bodies, meditated, sipped on mocktails, mingled, and laughed a lot.

I’m thankful for everyone who helped in one way or another. Thankful for family and friends who always show up and support—whether in person or by sending kind, encouraging messages. I appreciate all of it.

Thank you to @lululemon for donating these mats to me two years ago. At the time, I had no idea they would be used in this capacity, but here we are.

Thank you to @eldersensei for leading us through a beautiful guided meditation.

Thank you to all of you for joining this journey with me.

And a big thank you to God. I’m literally nothing without Him.

Due to the size, space was very limited, but we’re getting together next month for something extra special. Stay tuned and act fast when you see something 🤎

Want to know how I really felt? I didn’t care on

Want to know how I really felt? I didn’t care one bit. Do I listen to Se❌yy Red? No. But did it bother me? Nope. It’s her preference, and when I take a public class, that comes with the territory. Did I judge the teacher? Nope. Her class, her rules. Now, would I play this kind of music in my class? Heckkkkkk naww. Maybe Glo. Heavy on the maybe.

Watching those two students walk out in that moment was an instant reminder of how much I’ve grown in my practice. Years ago, something like that would have bothered me so much. But over time, I’ve realized I don’t care anymore. I used to let it bother me when teachers played really LOUD music. I’m talking hard rock and pop. Now, I can attend most yoga classes and not let the music throw me off. I’m so focused on moving with my breath as I flow through the poses that most of the time, I can’t even remember what songs were played. To me it’s truly a moving meditation.

For my personal practice at home, I actually prefer no music. Rarely do I have anything playing. I want to listen to my body—literally hear it as I inhale and exhale. I want no distractions, and to me, music is a distraction. Recently, I’ve been loving in person classes that mix moments of silence with music.

So if Se❌yy Red comes on during your class, are you walking out or staying? 😫

Be kind. But also set boundaries. That’s just as important as being kind 💗🦋

Painful periods? Try these poses a few days before

Painful periods? Try these poses a few days before and during your cycle. Staying active while listening to your body and being gentle is key. It’s okay to rest and opt for a more gentle workout. We don’t need to push through it.

It’s been five years since I haven’t had any symptoms from my stage 4 endometriosis, so trust me—I know what it’s like to have painful periods. I also know that our cycles aren’t supposed to be painful. I went from experiencing excruciating pain to no pain at all. Even when they tell us it’s normal, it’s not.

Give these a try and let your breath (the most powerful pose) guide you. ❣️

Remove all the distractions and focus on your prio

Remove all the distractions and focus on your priorities.

Imagine setting down the noise, the endless to-do’s, the comparisons, the clutter.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do for our growth is to simplify—removing the distractions that pull us away from our center and refocusing on what truly matters.

Log off the apps, turn off the news, move your bod

Log off the apps, turn off the news, move your body. Take a mental health day. Be gentle with your mind and heart. Don’t let life consume you.

May we hold a vision of a world we’re proud to leave for future generations.

May we live consciously, knowing future generations will inherit the world we shape today.

May our thoughts, words, and actions contribute to peace and joy for everyone.

May we all experience joy and freedom.

May we be the example for our children and our world.

May we honor the resilience of those who came before us.

May we continue to lead with hope.

May we be the light when we cannot find it.

When I started documenting my journey here in this

When I started documenting my journey here in this space four years ago, I had zero expectations for where we’d be today. We were in the middle of the pandemic, I was six months postpartum, and breastfeeding around the clock. I was yearning for a space to share my health, infertility, and yoga journey. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was here with three yoga certifications—the last two in prenatal and Kemetic yoga.

During that time, I was also working full-time from home as a math teacher. My plan had been to step back from work to settle into life as a new mom. But, like so many, the pandemic shifted everything. The teacher shortage was all too real, and with my husband also home due to the lockdown, I chose to take on a remote teaching role. That was an experience in itself—I’ll spare y’all the details.

It feels like a lifetime ago, yet it was only a few years back.

I thought that because I was doing allll the things I loved from home, I’d be okay. I was wrong. That pace led to burnout.

Recently, I decided to step back from juggling so many roles to focus more on my family and on my wellness and yoga offerings.

Four years ago, I couldn’t have imagined that the wellness world would become a full-time path for me. I’m grateful that, in many ways, I still get to teach.

I’m calling this year a lot of things. It’s my year to explore my passions and offerings deeper, my year to spend as much time as I can with my little ones, my year to recover from burnout. It’s something of a mid-life sabbatical.

I recently saw a quote that read, “You can have it all, just not all at the same time.” I’m really leaning into that this season.
