Another awesome Mindful Elimination Program meetin Another awesome Mindful Elimination Program meeting today! We start week 2 with one of my groups and they are already rocking the elimination. It can be tough to learn to look at labels differently, to let go of counting and measuring our food, and to dog into our emotional response to food. But man, the freedom you find outside of diet mentality is incredible! It’s changed my life. #mindfulliving #mindfuleating #mindfuleatingtips #mindfuleatingtipsformoms #mindfuleatingforlife #mindfuleatingcoach #bodypositive #bodylove #yogainspiration #yogalife #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #healthychoices #healthfirst #mindfulmama #mindfulmamas #mindfulmamamoment
I met with these women (minus one today) for our f I met with these women (minus one today) for our final meeting of the 40 day Mindful Elimination Program. They have made it all the way to the end, and this journey has been amazing! With rigorous honesty, clear and deliberate decisions, they navigated the food program and were so successful. Each of them feeling amazing in their own ways, learning about how they related to food mentally and emotionally, and knowing they can freedom in food without counting a thing! There’s no before or after picture. No recorded weight or measurements on purpose. There’s no diet mentality here! This is about how to feel your best physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. That goes beyond a picture and a number on the scale. It starts with food and it continues with mindful living. I am so happy for these women! Honesty, bravery, and true connection to who you really are- that’s what we do in the Mindful Elimination Program. #bodypositivitymovement #bodypositive #yogainspiration #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthylivingmovement #healthylivingjourney #healthylivingrevolution #healthylivingforall #mindfulliving #mindfulnesspractice #minfulnessmatters #minfulnesscoach #mindfulnesscoaching #mindfuleating #mindfullife #yogajourney #yogapractice #yogabloggers #yogamom #meditationpractice #mindfulnutrition #mindfulnessmatters #yogalifestyle #yogalifetips #yogalove #yogalife
I simply used to eat too fast. I’d typically wai I simply used to eat too fast. I’d typically wait until I was so hungry I had to eat “right then”. Then I would over eat. I never savored my food like I should. Chewing each bite of food approximately 20 times can reduce binge eating. Enjoy the food and what they flavors offer you. It takes the brain about 20 minutes to recognize that you're full. So when you take your time with each bite, you are allowing yourself to recognize you are full before it is too late. ⁠ ⁠ #funfacts #facts #trivia #mindfulness #meditation #yoga #wellness #meditate #health #spiritual #healthy #wellbeing #goodvibes #consciousness #gratitude #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #selfcare #nutrition #emotionaleating #intuitiveeating #bodypositive #bodylove #consciouseating #nutritionalwisdom #eatingpsychology #instagood #instadaily #selflove #motivation

I often wonder about my purpose as a mom. All the I often wonder about my purpose as a mom. All the mundane tasks I do. All the home keeping and taking care of and all the energy I pour into my family each day. But I know the purpose is love. I do it all because I love them so much.

Did You Know? ⁠ ⁠ The Viparita Karani Pose our Did You Know? ⁠ ⁠ The Viparita Karani Pose our Legs Up The Wall pose has many benefits you might be unaware of.⁠ ⁠ In this pose, your legs are on the wall and your spine is straight. All your sitting bones should be supported by the wall. If needed, you can support your back by placing a yoga block on the ground underneath you.⁠ This allows for all the fluid, that can lead to swollen and tired lower extremities, to flow down. The benefits include, but not limited to: regulated blood flow, improved digestion, migraine/headache, relief of menstrual cramps, stretching of back/torso/legs, and it can calm anxiety. ⁠ It’s one of my favorite ways to end a yoga practice or after a cardio session. It feels so good to unwind and relax in this pose even on its own when I’m feeling a bit hectic. ⁠ I have a 2 class duo program for toning and stretching on my website that will help you learn more poses like this one that are super beneficial for the body (Linkin.bio) ⁠ ⁠ #funfacts #meditation #yogi #namaste #health #wellness #yogalife #yogalove #yogainspiration #mindfulness #motivation #yogateacher #yogagirl #yogaeveryday #meditate #yogapose #yoga #yogadaily #igyoga #yogagram #yogajourney #yogapractice #instayoga #yogafun #yogafit #myyogalife #lifestyle #healthyeating

I was listening to a Harvard professor of genetics I was listening to a Harvard professor of genetics and biology talk about his work studying aging. ⁠ As he went into detail about the human make-up something he said really struck me and I skipped back to replay it again. ⁠ He said that only about 20% of our health comes from our parents. 20%. ⁠ So while we understand that family history plays a part in our health, 80% is left to us- EIGHTY percent of our health is derived directly from the way we eat, our physical activity and how we treat ourselves. ⁠ To me this was astounding. Because what it means is that we can’t just sit back in our poor health choices and blame it on genetics, when so much of it comes from lifestyle. ⁠ We have the choice and the responsibility to live a life that is full of joy. ⁠ When we feel good in the body, we are able to live more mindfully, with greater appreciation, and in a state of happiness and peace. ⁠ ⁠ *join me on a free zoom call on Sunday, Sept. 6th to learn more about the program I teach that helps lead you through 30 days of recognizing negative patterns surrounding your health, learning about hidden ingredients in your foods that are causing bloat, pain and weight gain, and using mindfulness as tool for better understanding yourself and your health. ⁠ Sign up here! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040848A8AD2FA7FF2-free1⁠ ⁠ #meditation #yogi #wellness #yogalife #yogalove #yogainspiration #motivation #mindfulness #inspiration #yogateacher #yogagirl #yogaeveryday #meditate #instagood #travel #yogini #yogapose #yoga #health #happy #selflove #wellbeing #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #yogadaily #igyoga #yogagram #yogajourney #yogapractice #yogapants

Did you know...⁠ Camel pose can improve digestio Did you know...⁠ Camel pose can improve digestion by stimulating the kidneys?⁠ ⁠ Yep, for someone who has had ups and downs with digestive issues, I have felt the benefits of camel pose first hand. ⁠ ⁠ This is also a great chest opener, and can help one breathe a bit better. This psoture tones the back and stretches the ab muscles. ⁠ ⁠ Work your way there by first just bringing your hands to the back of your pelvis with your fingers pointing down. Try opening up the chest. See how that goes, and then you can gradually work your way to full camel. ⁠ ⁠ #yogaeverydamnday #yogainspiration #yogalove #yogalife #yogaeverywhere #yogagirl #yogapractice #igyoga #yogachallenge #yogadaily #yogaeveryday #instayoga #yogajourney #yogateacher #yogagram #yogafit #yogapose #iamwellandgood #mindbodygram #lovethelifeyoulive #myyogalife #yogafun #practicedaily #iloveyoga #yogamom #yogaforeverybody #flowandrestore #vinyasayoga #beextrayoga
In the early hours of the morning before the sun h In the early hours of the morning before the sun has peaked over the horizon, my alarm buzzes me awake. I quickly press it off hoping the two little ones lying beside me won’t wake up.⁠ I gently and ever so quietly sneak out of bed and tiptoe down downstairs where my thoughtful husband has set the coffee to be ready for me.⁠ “Ahhhh.” I breathe in the smell of coffee and the morning wind deeply.⁠ My morning ritual. A necessity for me. It is supposed to be about centering, setting intentions, a quiet space, and connecting with God.⁠ It starts with a cup of coffee, a ten-minute meditation, prayer, and scripture. This 30 minutes to myself can make or break my day. ⁠ But living with toddlers, I gotta tell you, they just don’t understand my needs!Time and time again just as I am really connecting to God in prayer, just as the deep breathing has focused me on the present, just as I crack open my Bible and read the first line, I hear it- ⁠ “Mama! Mama! Maaammmaaa!” Just like that, I’m off to the races. ⁠ This morning as I sat there with my little one on my lap watching the sun turn the sky shades of pink and blue, I decided that for now, I’ll have to understand that the connection I seek so deeply to the divine love of God is right here.⁠ I will accept that motherhood is the ever-flowing prayer for a beautiful and fulfilling life.⁠ For now, the deep breath of freshly bathed toddler skin is my meditation.⁠ The movements of life, the cooking breakfast, and cleaning the dishes, the folding of laundry, and the carrying of children in my arms will my be yoga practice.⁠ And those tiny moments of love, a kiss on the forehead, and a snuggle in close, these are prayers of love to God.⁠ So really my morning ritual though it never turns out the way I plan, it is the most precious way to start my day. #yogamom #motherhoodrising #flowandrestore #yogawithkids #motherhoodunplugged #vinyasayoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogalife #yogalove #yogaeveryday #yogaeverywhere #yogapractice #yogajourney #yogagirl #yogadaily #mommylife #momsofinstagram #mommyandme #childhoodunplugged #thehappynow
This is my why... Motherhood and Yoga go hand-in- This is my why... Motherhood and Yoga go hand-in-hand for me. They both have opened my heart and mind in ways I never thought imaginable. They both shine light on my shortcomings and gifts in ways that ask me to grow as person daily. They both challenge me to dig deeper, find greater patience, and to let go of control. They both require me to choose love above anything else. Motherhood and Yoga, these two parts of my life that make me so much more than I ever thought I could be. Thank you God, for taking me on this path. #yogamom #yogamommy #yogamoms #yogamomma #yogamomlife #yogapractice #yogalife #yogalifestyle #yogalifestyles #mombloggers #momblogger #momblogging #yogainspiration #yogainstructor #yogateacher #yogaeveryday #yogaathome #momlife #momsofinstagram #momstyle #familystyle #lifestylebloggers #beextraordinary #beextrayoga
