Bodylanguage Barre Albuquerque

Which experiences do you want to say ‘yes’ to? And how often do you actually do it?
.
More often than not, our ‘want to’ is stamped out by the big ‘but I should not…’ Well, we encourage you to say YES to a magnificent glamping experience with ourselves and the & crews!
.
This April 22nd-24th join us for 2 nights of peaceful sleep on a perfectly set up bed, 5 decadent meals, 4+ yoga/barre classes, AND nature will be putting on quite the show with the Lyrid Meteor Shower being in full effect the weekend we are there!
.
Images can’t truly capture the magic, and my words will always fall short, but this experience is absolutely remarkable, and we hope you’ll give yourself the opportunity to say yes to experiencing it yourself🤍

In a world where we’re told we can be anything, why does it feel like what we are is never enough?

Self care:love in a social media world can be a huge burden that we all carry; it doesn’t matter your status, orientation, education, ethnicity, etc. But where it seems to hit a little harder is for our youth. I can’t imagine being the acne prone, hairy armed, big muscles, poorly styled teen I was growing up while trying to live up to the filtered and posed standard of what we now all see on our screens.

So what’s to be done? I say, or rather we say, let’s build a community where growth, knowledge, and experiences are at the root of everyone’s self care:love🤍 Bodylanguage, along with some truly amazing individuals, are creating the space for all of that plus so much more in our UNFILTERED workshop happening the afternoon of *July 25th*.

This is a FREE workshop for any tween/teen (ages 10&up) that want tips, tricks, education, and advice on living a healthy and glowing lifestyle while staying true to who they are✨ We will discuss:
*diet culture and how to navigate healthy food choices
*skin care and make up tips for each persons skin type/color/texture
*an exercise class and discussion on working out safely and purposefully
*tips/tricks to navigate social media
**also opportunities to learn from dynamic and strong people in the community that share their journeys/struggles/successes on achieving dreams
***snacks/drinks to feed the body
****portrait shoot to feed the soul
*****and SO much more🤍

We are looking forward to hosting this event, cultivating connections, and encouraging new experiences in a safe space🤍

Please text/call Monica to save a space for any 10+ year old that wants to join!

Thank you .cloak for partnering with us! We may not change the world, but we will settle for changing someone’s world✨

Be love.

Not because you’re a ‘yogi’. Not because you go to a studio that offers yoga. Not because you took a yoga class back in undergrad. But because the world is in need of those that are willing to lend a hand, to love and support people they’ll never meet, but who are still our brothers and sisters. Because we are all human, and for humanities sake, we will do our part.

In one of the sweetest collaborations we have the privilege of being a part of, Bodylanguage will be selling these shirts designed by with 100% of profit going to The Delhi Movement; an organization that is assisting in Covid relief for the dire situation in India by creating medical centers within the city of Delhi.
.
Cost is $25 with a choice of unisex T-shirt and/or a women’s crop T-shirt. We are hoping to do a large pre-order so please reach out and let us know your size over the next 48hrs; they’d also make a great gift 😉
.
In addition to these shirts Bodylanguage will be hosting two donation based classes over the next several weeks. We are thrilled to be returning to for Barre at the Bar(re) beginning Sunday May 16th AND a yoga in the park event at the end of the month with all donations helping to fund the Delhi Movement. *more details on these 2 classes to come*

Be love, Abq🤍 Let’s do some good

As many of you now know, or will find out in .2 seconds 😉, the Governor has mandated a second round of non-essential business closures. As it stands, this would be a 2 week closure starting Monday (11/16) and then things can go back to a Covid safe normalcy. Although there is no guarantee on that timeline, we are choosing to remain hopeful that as a team, as clients, and as fellow New Mexicans we can make that happen.
.
I almost always choose to be a “glass half full” type woman; I could literally sew almost anything together with a silver lining 😉, but I want to be honest, this is hard. There is no ‘thing’ to actually get to be mad at. Yes, it makes you want to go outside and curse from a mountain top, but aside from the momentary release (which I highly encourage 🙃), it doesn’t solve our problems. So I’ll ask on behalf of my business, on behalf of all small businesses, that we stick together. Support when and how we can. Shopping local or joining memberships. Offering an extra smile or compliment. Taking the extra moment to control a frustrated reaction because we can’t possibly know the stress factors that are impacting the other person. Being kind, really. Doing what we can because we genuinely believe that everyone is doing their best, and they are doing their best for us too💓
.
So BL fam, we will see you this weekend. And after that we will see you online as we are already prepped to start filming new and fun material for our private group. Take care of yourself everyone! Oh, and socially distance offer a smize from behind your mask 😉

I posted this on my personal page but thought that it was even more important to put on here as well. Being in the fitness industry there’s an idea of what we should promote in regards to a ‘fit’ or healthy body. I want you to know that we don’t agree with that. Take care of yourself, treat yourself, work on yourself, and most importantly, love yourself. Everything else is smoke and mirrors♥️
.
Pop, lock, and drop it.

Might be a dance move, but apparently it’s also quick adjustments you can make to shift your bodies appearance in photos.
•pop your b***y back and rotate thighs in
•”lock” in your abs with a strong contraction
•drop your chest forward
•bonus move, pull your pants up to help narrow your waste

I’ve been spending a lot of social media time trying to counteract the bombardment of the images that promote the idea of physical perfection, and rather follow and be inspired by the women who are out there helping to demolish the idea that there should be an “ideal” body. Neither image in this side by side are bad, ugly, or unhealthy BUT even I look at them both and have a preference towards the posed one. And that’s not wrong. At all. It’s ok if we want to pose so that we look our best. It’s ok that part of why we workout is because we want to look a certain way. But it’s not ok for us to feel pressured into appearing like someone else’s idea of beauty and health. A pose, filter, and photo editing manipulates everyone’s perception of what that should be anyways. So just remember, you do you, but don’t compare your version of “you” to how someone else on social media presents themselves💓

Hey everyone! As we just got word today, our studio is officially allowed to open starting tomorrow! The Live class will be of a barre class in studio and starts at 9:15 ☺️

Head down, heart open, palms up.

I humbly acknowledge that I am privileged. But I am strong in my conviction to do better for those who are not simply based on the color of their skin. Recognizing the dire circumstances they are constantly forced into because of a long line of injustices. Lack of safety when simply walking on the streets or sleeping in their beds, limited access to healthcare, resources of all types that are spread too thin, and the list goes on. It does not matter what side of the political line you fall on to know somewhere within your being that human life should be valued, maintained, and protected no matter your color or heritage.
.
So when I think of what I can offer, and maybe a chance to see the good in my own current circumstance, I see my open studio space and background as an instructor, a belief that is a real thing, and now I have something of a purpose and a plan.
.
I will be offering a FREE 1 on 1, or 1 to 2, personal training sessions to any person that donates to an organization supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement and/or providing support to the Navajo Nation and other Tribes suffering significantly due to COVID-19.
*Donate $30 = 30min session
*Donate $50 = 60min session
*Donate $75+ = 60min session for 2 people
.
To encourage people to move thoughtfully but quickly I will offer this until Monday at 12pm. Please reach out to me for suggestions on which organizations to donate to. All I need from you is to see proof of your donation sent at any point from this evening starting at 7:30pm until Monday 12pm. We will then book a day/time for your private Barre/Pilates/Yoga/TRX/Spin/Bootcamp class. Please share!

We love you. Each of you.

You support us. We support you.

You share your smile. We want to give you more reasons to do it.
•
You come here to get stronger. Let me tell you, we thrive because of your strength.
•
You over common challenges every class. We will overcome this for you.
•
It is the time we close our doors, but it won’t be permanent. There are too many reasons, too many people, that we will come back from this better than ever. Every day since this came about I’ve struggled. And I know each of you have too. But we are in it together, and we will be better for it. So please continue to support us, your peers, and this community to the best of your ability. We will be here for the long haul, moving things online for now, but will keep you posted whenever we know a single ounce of information. Look for us online for continued workouts from your BL instructors. Be safe. Be strong. Be kind. 🤍

Time for our club members to earn a karma badge 💕

We are thrilled to see all of the resources being made available to those in need. This is being done on a person to person, and business to community level. It’s absolutely wonderful to see and read about. With that, I know the BL community can help add even more to this feel good vibe. We are asking that all clients bring canned goods, non perishable food items, and yes, even toilet paper to the studio on your next visit. Not making it in but still want to contribute? I’ll come to you! Let’s help supply our city with necessary items for the long haul 🙌🏼 **Also** if you know of any families/persons that are being impacted more severely, or would just benefit from assist outside of what is being offered throughout the city, please reach out to me directly. We are together in this and will do whatever we can to assist those in need ♥️
