I wanted to continue to offer great content to my readers and fellow yogis and wellness lovers. So last week, I was thrilled to announce a brand new yoga fitness video series on my IG called LIFEONAMAT YOGA SERIES!

This is a series where you can find all of my wellness, yoga and fitness in one place. I wanted to create an outlet where I could combine my love for both yoga and science-backed lifestyle tips to help you build better habits and intentions everyday. By knowing WHY we want to make changes and learning HOW the body ignites the change, we are then connected to WHAT we want to change.

Body awareness is a major component of practicing yoga because it not only helps you adjust the pose properly, but it strengthens the connection and trust between the mind and body. As you continue to practice with me, you will become more aware of muscle groups and how to work them properly. My Body Awareness Series will specifically target lower back and core muscle groups.

today my yoga practice meets my fitness routine. fold your mat hotdog style and join me! i’m combining core strengthers with a focus on stabilization + precision.

i designed a new yoga sequence called “the balance challenge”. finally! an on-the-go guide for your vacations, work trips, and stressful days. the guide includes a step by step yoga series that promotes muscle activation in the chest, shoulders, core, glutes, and back.

Last month, I was able to host my yoga + wellness class during our annual girl’s workshop! It was my third time serving as a mentor and I feel like it keeps getting better and better!

LIFEONAMAT is back this week with part II of my spine strengthening series! If you read part I, then you know about the benefits of taking care of and aligning your spine. Part ii will be a continuation of what we learned last month. If you want a challenge, then try my flow below!

My guide is geared to help you incorporate cardio, challenge, and breath work. As you go through this mini series, please consider the spiritual focus. Designed to create a space for self compassion, my goal is to help you find stability and heart healing. 

Hey you guys! I know you all are getting your new year's off in the right direction. If not, then I have some really cool apps for you to try. They're really great motivators when you need a new fitness kick. 

For this post, I wanted to share some of my personal tips and an easy core workout plan that you can try during your workouts to build ab and arm strength. Doing this exercise weekly will target the core muscles, abs, arms, glutes, and legs!

The past year has been a lot of twisting and turning, a lot of self discovery. There's many things that I've had to make myself aware of, using my ears and eyes a little more. My mouth, a bit less. I feel like life lessons kept stacking up like legos, forcing me to pay attention to the way I react to change.

So what is a vinyasa? It's a continuous set of poses that are essentially the transition from a chaturanga to the downward facing dog. Vinyasas are part of sun salutation a. The sanskrit name is surya namaskar a. Did you know that these ancient movements were practiced as a way to give thanks to the sun?

To get a full grasp on why we do "Hip-openers" in yoga, I'm going to give you a how-to instructional and explain the benefits of these two postures. I have met a lot of active people, former collegiate athletes, gym go-ers, and competitive sport playing individuals who often talk about tight hips.

I start my blog with that quote from charlamagne tha god. I use to despise him. But I realized that he lives with a real purpose, and that inspired me. His brutal honesty is really annoying but necessary.
