If you missed Monday morning’s LIVE vitality flow yoga class, here is the 30-minute class which is a nice morning practice designed to strengthen your body and calm your mind. It is the perfect COVID-19 wellness booster.
This practice is a little more dynamic, but I still provide options to either intensify or modify the poses for your level. You will need a yoga mat (or beach towel), and if you have a set of yoga blocks, you can use them, otherwise no blocks are required.
urning 45 in quarantine has given me lots of time for introspection.
So here goes! In honor of turning 35 45 (ahem), what I’ve learned in quarantine and beyond:
Beauty, money, power– things we often place high value upon in society are worthless without your health. Haven’t we all learned this?
I’ve learned I can grieve and be grateful at the same time. And wow, how interesting and odd that is.
I’ve learned that when things feel out of control, to focus on what you CAN control. It’s empowering when you can switch the inner-dialogue from victim to driver of the bus.
There’s a lot out of our control right now.
A LOT.
There’s a lot we don’t have any say in, or ability to change. This can be stressful. It can be anxiety-provoking. I hear you. I definitely FEEL you.
But the key to managing this difficult period, is to focus on what you CAN control:
Getting bored at home?
Looking for some new activities to do with your family during this #stayhome period? This morning on Global News, I shared some ideas!
Stay safe everyone. Stay home so we can go out. Sending you all love.

Where is our joy located? It’s an odd question. Especially during these past few weeks. Perhaps you think joy is in your heart, or maybe you experience joy as a state of mind.
It turns out, according to scientists, joy originates in the limbic system of the brain—the part of the brain that controls emotion, behavior, and long-term memory. Unlike happiness, which is a cognitive experience based in the brain’s neocortex, joy is an emotion we feel without conscious thought. We feel joy without thinking about it, and we can train our brains to feel it often.
Living an Empowered Life Filled With Love, Happiness & Success IS Absolutely Possible For You
You probably don’t hear this often enough and I want you to really take this in…
You are SO LOVED!
More than you know…
Life loves you and wants you to succeed!
You are a magnificent human being with unique talents and gifts that are truly valued.
But that’s not why you are loved.
Love is your birthright … you are loved, just because you exist.

Happy practicing this weekend. Harvard medical school is recommending yoga to deal with COVID-19 anxiety. Stay well. Self-care is pertinent.
Happy International Day of Happiness!
I know these days do not feel particularly happy, so I wanted to create a kind of happiness checklist for you. I wanted to share some activities and rituals you can do to boost morale, to boost your happiness and wellness quotient today and beyond.
Let’s get right to it:
Be social from a distance! My girlfriends are having morning coffee dates over FaceTime, happy hour over Zoom, and we had a block party on Sunday outside with everyone 6 feet away from each other. How about a FaceTime dinner party with another family? Keep the social connectedness to fight feelings of isolation. Check in with family and friends, virtually.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
