As our family prepares for our next chapter—a move back to Atlanta—I am going to be transitioning out of my work in New Orleans. If your schedule permits, please join me at Spyre for The Workout Within 2/12 or 2/19 at 9:45A.
I’m grateful to for the opportunity I was given to teach The Workout Within in this magical space for nearly three years. If you followed the class here from Bywater: thank you for helping me continue the story. If you hopped on board once the class moved to the LGD: thank you for helping to write this chapter.

We can accomplish so much in stillness.
Looking to get back into the rhythm of movement following summer vaca(s)? Now booking private training in-person (NOLA & Mobile) and on Zoom (worldwide, baby). 🌎

Dawn patrol meets core control. ❤️🔥
I love getting clients up on an elevated surface for all fours work. It is a fantastic way to throw a curveball to muscles like the lower abs.
For extra challenge, I add in the beam as a post for the non-stabilizing hand to hold. (A broom would work here too.)
But my primary motivation for capturing this moment is I found it poignant to watch my client take on this challenging sequence as a ship passed in the background attempting to keep industry moving along the drought-impacted Mississippi River. Starting the day with movement can be such a powerful salve for shifting bleakness about our challenges into creative thinking about how to solve them. We can convert effort into optimism, energy out into energy in. 💫

Everything ends, but at any point during our time on this planet, we can create a new beginning. 🖤
It’s time for our family to [finally] close our chapter at the corner of Rampart & Clouet and we’ve dropped the price on our beloved property to encourage the next visionary to step in and bring a community business to life in this former corner store.
With a residence upstairs and a ground level apartment, wrap around gallery, private back patio and driveway for two cars, this historic building could be just the answer for someone looking to live above their business and offset the cost with income from the rear apartment. Acupuncturist? Baker? Latte maker? Call your realtor and step in to a vanilla box you can color your own. 🤍

A truly spectacular experience training a client on the Mississippi River just after sunrise today. Work keeps me indoors much of the time—as it does her—and I felt like we both needed a dose of fresh air and some vitamin D.
For me, nature is both grounding and humbling. It shrinks the problems I think are Mount Everest into molehills. It can make one feel at once vulnerable (the ants that made their way onto our props) and unstoppable (my client as she kept with and completed the reps in this wall sit even when she wanted it to be over). 😅

We can’t turn back time but do you know that strength training can have a role in determining how much time you get for your future? A review of 16 major studies found that just thirty minutes a week of strength training is associated with up to a 20 percent reduced risk for dying from any cause, or from cancer, heart disease or diabetes.
Adding aerobic exercise reduced risk for dying by 40 percent (British J of Sports Medicine, June 16, 2022;56(13):755-763).
The World Health Organization recommends at least two days a week of muscle-strengthening activities for adults because having larger and stronger muscles appears to help prevent many diseases and prolong lives.
