As the leaves change and the natural world begins preparing for winter, trees have a beautiful way of conserving, reclaiming, releasing, and preparing for what comes next. What if we took a little wisdom from the trees and applied it to the way we nourish ourselves this fall?

A retreat is not giving up. It is choosing to regroup. It is choosing to restore. It is choosing to strengthen yourself so that when you return, you aren't simply going back to the same life depleted and exhausted—you are returning with a little more clarity, a little more energy, and a little more of you.

Over time, that simple practice created a deeper connection with myself and, ultimately, a deeper sense of self-love.

Maybe that's what some of us need when we're feeling stuck—not another person telling us what to do, but a little quiet space to hear ourselves again.

Resistance bands make you work through that entire range of motion while the tension changes as the band stretches. Your body has to produce force, control force, and stabilize the movement along the way.

What if you could let go without knowing what's coming next? I've been thinking a lot about faith lately—and how closely it seems to be connected to surrender. Especially after this recent Pisces eclipse, the invitation to release, soften, and stop gripping so tightly has felt especially strong.

But here's what I've realized…

“If our love’s insanity, why are you my clarity?”

That lyric from Zedd’s Clarity got me thinking: what if clarity isn’t about having all the answers? What if it’s about getting quiet enough to hear what you already know?

Your hips are designed to do so much more than sit in a chair all day. Discover why the hip hinge is one of the most important movement patterns for strength, mobility, and living life with confidence—and how mastering it can make everyday tasks easier.

What to expect when you are expecting a session with me (Come Alive Fitness). Some do’s to make the most of your time and experience.

Mobility isn't about touching your toes. It's about touching your life.

Playing with your kids. Hiking your favorite trail. Gardening. Dancing. Living without fear of movement.

Read my latest blog to discover why mobility is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself.

Did you know that how your food is made can be just as important as what you're eating? Whether it's olive oil, avocado oil, or your favorite fresh juice, cold pressing uses gentle pressure instead of high heat to preserve more of the food's natural flavor and many of its delicate nutrients.

Wellness doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes the healthiest choice is simply choosing food that's been changed a little less.

Scrape your tongue, because this little step is going to add dividends to your overall health and wellbeing. 

It’s happened again. You’re hungry but have you ever wonder what is underneath that is causing that feeling?

Truth is, there exists a myriad of reasons why your inner yearnings make themselves apparent. And its my belief that when we aquatint ourselves with the reasons why we may be feeling hungry, we have power. We have control

“…it vastly contradicted what I wanted and wished for

So this, along with other things from my past,  puts a big crack in my ability to trust.  I was hurt by it, I was devastated. It made me feel like I did something wrong, like I didn’t deserve it.  I didn’t work hard enough.  Not enough. Oh that familiar story.“

What we hold it in, only bottles up.

Self discipline is 1. acknowledging that you have lost your way.  2. Forgiving yourself because you are just a little human being trying to learn this thing called life. And 3. choosing to get back on the path again.

All the questions you have about Kundalini that maybe you didn’t know you needed to know. What is it, how do you do it, who is it for and what are you saying.

If you but just tried for only 20 minutes … to feel the connection to something greater than yourself, would it be worth it?

This post explores the impact of false beliefs (aka mental pollution) on our lives and provides strategies to shed them, allowing us to embrace truth and become more fulfilled individuals.

The goal of movement is to achieve resiliency in our bodies. Resiliency is the ability to manage challenges, quickly recovering from them, and growing to improve as a result of these challenges [s]. We want our bodies to endure a strenuous or stressful situation and bounce back easily and maybe even feel stronger afterwards.
