Sol Baby Yoga & Wellness

rebrand coming in hot 👀

my biggest goal for 2024 is to be more consistent with yoga classes and posting on this page to keep up with the yogis 🙏🏼 my job as head coach / community manager at solidcore has become such a passion of mine (because wellness, duh) but yoga & sol baby will always hold such a special, pivotal role in my life. sorry for being mia lately, fam. starting to get back to it now so i can hit it extra hard next year 😘 and huge thanks to everyone who has been reaching out via email asking about yoga / when i’m having classes in minot again!!! stay tuned 👀

expliS**T buti last night was….. well, THE S**T. 🤩 there’s something special about a room full of diverse women doing yoga, shaking our asses, dripping sweat, cleansing our chakras, and singing WAP at the top of our lungs. 😎 no matter our difference in life experience, personality, body, shape, age, religion, skin color, sexual orientation, identity, upbringing… we, as women, need to lean in and embrace each other. last night showed how magical it can be to let our guards down & bond over some raunchy tunes and body movement. THAT’S WHAT LIFE SHOULD BE!!!!!!! 💃🏻🦄💥🤸🏻‍♂️❤️‍🔥 .real.peace.of.work reminded us that we shouldn’t feel shame or guilt in being free, loud, wild, skinny, curvy, sexual, empowered, true-to-self women who use our voices. we don’t have to fit in anyone’s box. we don’t have to be quiet or proper or perfect or “ladylike.” (wtf does that even mean?!) ⚡️ if you’re still reading, this is your sign to shake your b***y today and embrace who the f*ck you are.

important things i did today:

🌼moved my body
🌼spent time with friends
🌼bought myself !!!local!!! flowers
🌼went through my entire camera roll looking at photos of the earth that i’ve taken over the past 5+ years *was in absolute awe of the beauty
🌼rested
🌼breathed intentionally
🌼stretched
🌼caught myself hating on my body & stopped to appreciate it instead
🌼lit candles
🌼put my phone down & enjoyed time alone
🌼shopped sustainably
🌼wrote in my journal *gratitude*

✨happy happy happy weekend, honeys!

when i say you NEED this book… an absolute life-changer. 11/10 recommend enjoying with candles lit and a green juice in hand. 💚 i have been trying really hard to make more time to read again - since i started my new job in bismarck in august (which feels like 5 minutes ago wtf) i realize i’ve been really bad about keeping a healthy work/life balance and i rarely make time to FULLY unwind, unplug and just read a book with zero distractions. really brings a sister back down to earth when she can finally make it happen 😅 i hope everyone is having a F A B monday 📚🫶🏼 i’ll be over here staying off my electronics for large portions of the day at a time and enjoying peace, quiet and sunshine coming through my windows 🥳🥳🥳 make it a beautiful day, my sweet precious stunning angels!!!

phewwww it’s been a heavy month. *vulnerable post alert* 🥲 no matter how hard i try to stay on top of it, this time of year is hard as hell for me. depression is fckin dark and heavy and isolating. everything in life can be going beautifully - depression/anxiety don’t care. they still creep in and press down on your chest until you can’t move, breathe, think, or function properly. it doesn’t make sense and it’s hard to grasp. this year has been one of my best yet, and i have solidcore and the yoga community to thank for that… but i’m learning that that doesn’t mean it won’t still show up in waves. when it does, it hits extra hard because i ask myself “why? why is this darkness back in my body and brain? i’m doing everything right to keep this sh*t at bay!!!!” 😣 so to spare y’all the deets and cut to the chase, i picked myself up and went to yoga tonight for a soul cleanse and man, it is always such a sweet relief that truly lifts the weight. 🙏🏼 thank you SO much for your healing energy 🤍 ps: the reason i’m posting all of this is to let you know that you are NOT alone, and you CAN do the hardest things. i promise. (swipe once to see the brightest soul who inspired me to teach yoga, swipe twice to see what i have looked like all week between coaching classes 🫠) putting up photos like this is really really really uncomfortable but i believe it’s important and necessary because we all know social media tends to be a highlight reel and we’re all still real people with real feelings up in here, and that is OKAY.

soooooo cold plunge + infrared sauna + red light therapy = my newest addition to the wellness routine and lemme tell ya…… THIS SH*T IS THE COOLEST. (pun might have been intended) 🥶 once a week, i’ve been hitting up to spend an hour going back and forth from the 175° sauna with a red light panel to the 40° cold plunge pool (my record in the plunge is 4 minutes 40 seconds 🤪) here’s how it works: (in a nutshell, spoken by a non-expert) plunging your body into cold water causes your blood vessels to constrict; pushing blood to your organs, which supplies the bloodstream and viral organs with more oxygen and nutrients. when you exit the cold and hop in the sauna, blood vessels open up which allows oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to return to your tissues & removed waste like lactic acid buildup, etc. !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 i personally love how it forces me to slow down my breathing and really chill out on the constant racing thoughts. 😌 some more benefits i have noticed RIGHT off the bat:
✨wide awake & alert the rest of the day
✨no afternoon slump whatsoever (g bless)
✨i sleep like a BABY at night & fall asleep much faster
✨skin is better than it has been in years
✨mood & energy boost, like, *immediately*
✨wayyyy less dull aches & pains

research shows some long-term benefits are:
✨improves circulation
✨builds resilience for stressful situations
✨increased discipline and mental strength
✨can speed up metabolism
✨boosts immune system
✨neurocognitive benefits (studies are showing it can prevent or treat neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s or dimentia)
✨releases cortisol… aka ❤️‍🔥stress relief❤️‍🔥

i highly suggest giving plunging a shot… it might be that extra boost of self-care you need to stay healthy & keep up dat drive & motivation!!! 🙏🏼🥶🔥 have a kickass weekend, loves of my life!!!

happppppyyyyyy first freaking FRIDAY of 2023, angels! 🦋✨🦄🎉💫🧚🏽‍♀️💕🫶🏼 i took a lil break from social media (for the most part) in december. it wasn’t really on purpose - i felt extremely overwhelmed most of the month and then came down with the flu on my birthday 🥲 so i decided to stop getting mad at myself for minimal posting on this page, even though new videos of yoga flows & juicing have been at the top of my mind!! ✨ a small break was incredibly refreshing, buuuuuut it’s time to hit the ground running in 2023! 🎉 my goal this year is to post more flows for specific things our bodies & minds are asking us for, juice experiments, and links to where my ‘fits come from because i get lots of q’s about them which is so much fun for me!! 💕 i’m here today to tell you to make time for you in 2023. spend time with people who fill up your cup. leave the energy suckers in your rearview. show up for yourself. you are the most important project you’ll ever work on; never forget it, babe! 🙏🏼 now go kick today’s ass and remember who the hell you are! 🥰🤘🏼

took buti sculpt last night with the magical woman who inspired me to study yoga & become a teacher… soul = REJUVINATED. ✨🙏🏼 if you’ve taken class from , you get it. her aura is sparkly, welcoming, raw, warm, charming, dynamic, kind, fierce, wise, gentle… plus, she’s hilarious. 😝 it’s so special to be able to walk into a yoga studio & feel instantly at home - not because of the place, but the people. 🙏🏼 taking her classes & allowing her words and energy to resonate in my heart got me through an extremely dark & difficult time in my life… (and i can bet i’m not the only person she unknowingly saved!) so i am BESIDE myself with pure joy to be living in bismarck again and be able to pop into her classes. 🥹 if you haven’t yet, i highly suggest taking time for yourself and doing the same! you’ll leave feeling empowered, light, sexy, free, and BOLD. 🌈💥🦋 lindsay, thank you for gifting us all with your presence and sharing your knowledge of movement, breath, and the power of letting go with all of us! this community is so truly blessed to have you 💫

my fave juice lately whether it’s bought or homemade… celery + spinach + lemon + ginger 💚 as fall & winter are coming in hot (or cold) 🤪 i’m thinking of throwing together some seasonal juices to keep sickness/seasonal depression at bay… i don’t really do “recipes” but i love playing around with new combos and i think we could ALL use some revitalization up in here! 🚀 i’m home healing from strep & voice nodules right now and doing some research on what to juice to keep us happy & healthy during this chaotic time of year 😅 can’t wait to share this week! hope everyone is having a stunnahhhhhh of a weekend 😌💕🦋✨shoutout to my soul sis for showing me THE. CUTEST. JUICE. SPOT. ON. EARTH.
