I wrote this a couple of months ago in response to the current shift in beauty standards (yet again).

I was inspired to write my thoughts on the matter, you may have even seen a snippet of it if you’re on The Hive Fitness&Yoga Studio newsletter. I’m really proud of this piece and would love for you to check it out and share your thoughts.

Remember: you are enough just as you are ❤️

Wooow who is she writing on substack again?!

These blog posts will likely be unfiltered, unedited (I’ll try and proofread before I hit post lol), and slightly unhinged. I need to write again, need to get these thoughts and ideas out of my head. Hoping this will be a good outlet for me 🙂

So, feel free to check it out, subscribe if you’d be so inclined and let’s have a good time ❤️

You’re not “starting over” after a break (no matter how long the break was), you’re continuing on. It might feel like you’re starting from scratch, but you have so much more wisdom and knowledge about yourself and your body now.

So here’s where I’m at - I’ve been spending more time on the couch than moving my body (for almost 6 years now). I’ve “restarted” so many times over the years, I’ve fallen “off the wagon” more times than I can count.

But who fu***ng cares?

I’m ready to take control where I can in my life, and right now that looks like incorporating movement back into my routine.

Today is another chance and I’m taking it. Day 1 of taking back control (where I can as a chronic baddie) is underway.

Want to join me?

Officially introducing my new 4-Week Movement Foundation Series.

During our four weeks together you can expect to:

Develop an awareness around muscle engagement and learn how to safely engage those muscles during daily tasks (hopefully lessening pain and building strength without extra exertion)

Learn how to listen to your body’s signals (without judgement!) for when it is safe to push or to take a pause

Learn how to safely and effectively perform foundational movement patterns that you use in your daily life (getting off the toilet = squats, putting things away in upper cabinets = overhead press, getting up off the floor = lunge, etc)

Learn how to incorporate mobility exercises without ever leaving the couch

Build resilience through movement that feels good while still being slightly challenging

Join now for $44! Registration limited 💪❤️

If there’s one exercise that’ll make you feel strong and capable, it has to be deadlifts.

Not only are they super functional for practicing picking things up from the floor, they’re also super freaking fun. They can be a little tricky to learn, but nothing beats the feeling of witnessing someone master them and lift fu***ng heavy!

Even if you’re not in a place of even thinking about lifting heavy, deadlifts, or the hip hinge, is an incredibly beneficial movement to practice. We can do hinge variations from the bed/couch/floor/chair, making it accessible for most. The hinge strengthens the glutes, hamstring, back, and core - which can help with a plethora of daily tasks (like getting off the couch or picking things up from the floor).

Follow along for more content as we break down the hip hinge and make it work for you!
