Let’s move, breathe, and play—together.

Teacher Trainings

Strength doesn’t always have to look like weights or reps — sometimes, it’s about control, balance, and a bit of curiosity. 💪🏽✨

These wheel push-ups (yes, even the one-handed ones!) are a fun way to explore strength through flexibility — where mobility meets stability.

Wheel pose can feel daunting at first, but once you’re there… why not play a little? 😉

Most of us spend hours each day hunched over screens, chasing that perfect posture. But what if it’s simpler than we think?

Here’s a quick wall alignment practice you can do daily — no equipment, no fuss, just awareness.
All you need: a wall, a few minutes, and your breath.

Press your back, lengthen your spine, tuck your chin, and feel yourself grow taller from the inside out.
Try it each morning and notice how your body (and mood) begins to shift.

Sometimes, real change starts with standing still. 🌿

“Let’s talk about money for a moment…” 💸

In the world of yoga, wellness, and spirituality, we often call it energy exchange — a phrase that sounds softer, but sometimes hides our discomfort with the word money itself.

In my book Move, Breathe & Play: Because Talking Might Not Be Enough, I invite you into a playful thought experiment:
try making yourself a chicken salad sandwich… without using money. 🥪

You can barter, grow your own ingredients, or trade — but no cash allowed.
It’s a simple exercise that reveals a deeper truth:
how we relate to money is often how we relate to giving, receiving, and value itself.

Maybe it’s time to make peace with the energy we call money. ✨

We set up an ice bath by the ocean at @dryftwellness ❄️🌊 … but by the time I got in, the ice had already melted.
Turns out, it wasn’t so much cold therapy as it was beach therapy. 😎✨
Still—so much joy, laughter, and good vibes in the tub. Sometimes it’s less about the ice and more about the company (and the view).

Ocean flow, blue on blue. 🌊
From cartwheel → handstand → one-armed peacock, movement feels different when it mirrors the sea — playful, strong, and always in motion.

Wearing the Atlys Cargo Joggers by @tegofit — made for movement that doesn’t stop, whether on the mat or by the ocean. ✨

✨ It’s here. After months of writing, rewriting, moving, breathing, and playing… my first book is out in the world.

Move, Breathe & Play: Because Talking Might Not Be Enough is an invitation to reconnect with yourself through movement, breath, and a bit of playfulness. It’s not a self-help manual. It’s more like a conversation — with your nervous system, your inner child, and your joy.

Inside you’ll find:
🌱 Simple ways to ground yourself through body + breath
🌱 Playful prompts to explore movement and imagination
🌱 Reflections on healing, grief, resilience, and growth
🌱 A reminder that sometimes words aren’t enough — but moving, breathing, and playing are.

📖 Now available worldwide on Amazon & through my website 👉 www.movebreatheplay.com/books

If you read it, I’d love to hear how it moves you. 💛
Here’s to moving, breathing, and playing our way home.

Gravity pulls, yet upside down it feels like freedom. ✨
In the stillness between breath and balance, meditation finds me.
