You really can’t take me anywhere 😆

Had an amazing time road tripping across the west coast with my Mom last week! Spent most of it upside down…

Fitness is a huge passion of mine, and I love sharing that passion with others. Personal training has been the most fulfilling and rewarding job that I have ever had, and I feel so lucky to have worked for two amazing gyms, and with some incredible coworkers and clients!

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, both of the gyms that I train at are closed until further notice. This leaves me without an income, and my clients without a trainer. So, in order to continue helping people reach their potential in health and fitness, I have started offering online personal training!

I don’t sell cookie-cutter programs, quick fixes, or magic pills. Every client that works with me will receive personalized workouts, nutrition guidance, and frequent accountability checks based on their unique abilities, goals, and preferences. If you commit to following my training, I will give you the tools you need to succeed in building a sustainable healthy lifestyle that works for YOU!

If you or anyone you know is in need of fitness guidance during this quarantine, or just in general, please check out my new website! I am offering a 20% discount on all training plans through the month of April when you use the code “2020” at checkout!

I’ve been falling deeper in love with yoga lately after being frustrated with it for quite some time. It’s so easy to look at all these pictures and videos on Instagram and wish that you were more advanced in your practice. It’s easy to feel like “less of a yogi” when you struggle with kicking up to handstand while another person is doing pike press handstands on the edge of a pool at a yoga retreat in Bali. But yoga is SO much more than a cool pose or a fun workout or a photo opportunity. •
Patanjali’s second sutra reads “yogas citta vritti nirodha”, which roughly translates to “yoga is the stilling of the modifications of the mind”. Modifications, in this case, is meant to represent any thoughts or emotions that pull you away from the present moment. Yoga is not simply a sequence of beautiful postures, it is a moving meditation. It is a method and discipline of quieting the mind in order to experience the reality and the beauty of the present moment. Some of the most blissful moments in my life have been a result of surrendering to a difficult pose, or perfectly linking my breath to a sun salutation, or allowing myself to feel discomfort in an extra long seated meditation. It’s not about attaining perfection, it’s about how you meet with your imperfections. And yoga doesn’t just happen on your mat. •
