Feeling GOOD and #UpForAnything
Your body can change so dramatically and as humans it’s hard to go with the flow and embrace the change.

Athleta has challenged me to be up for a new workout in LA, which I want to encourage you all to try out too!

5 Restorative Yoga Poses for The Beach
The ocean naturally relaxes the mind and spirit.

The rhythmic crashing of the waves will actually ease your brain into alpha waves, slowing down the parasympathetic system, along with your entire body. Sync your breath with the ocean waves while flowing through these 5 poses that will have you feeling oh-so-zen within minutes.

Mother Nature’s monthly visit can also bring about those not-so-fun set of aches and pains.

Not only will these five poses support achy quads and thighs, open the hips, and relieve the body of menstrual discomfort, they’ll also calm the mind and open the heart.
