EVERYTHING is a learning lesson.

Yesterday was a TOUGH race for me. It was my 7th Solo and I was READY! I have only PR’d race over race and I had goals. The goal is ALWAYS to finish (finishing is winning), but I wanted to be in the 1:30:00s.

I had A LOT of emotions at the start of the day, I meditated deeply and was focused. I felt an ease pre-race that I hadn’t before. Well, ALL of that fell away pretty quickly.

It was HOT on the course and in the tent there was no air. Everything felt like a struggle. On the sled pull my hubs, the judge and my friend said I did 8 laps (instead of 6)disheartening…counting is hard. I got to the row it was taking everything I had. Normally I’m waving and cheering, but yesterday I had to use all energy to race.

Every step felt like a fight. And I was SO HOT. More than I had ever seen before on the corse people were walking, stopping and crying, it was a little surreal. Since my first race when I put the kettlebells down a bunch in the farmers carry I have run through that event. Yesterday I didn’t know if I could make it. “You’re a New Yorker, you don’t put your groceries down” my coach says. I had her in my mind the whole way and as I was turning into my 2nd farmers loop all of a sudden she appeared flying by in her 1k screaming, “Go Dyan!” My heart soared and I kept on going KBs in hand 200m all the way through! It’s THESE are the MOMENTS that kept me going.

Honestly, I was just happy to keep moving. I was farcing my mantras, “I am strong, I can do this, one step at a time”, but WOOF, that was tough.

Only 2 months after Miami’s race and I trained hard in-between. 1:40:24 in Miami…1:45:04 yesterday. Not the outcome I wanted, BUT I’m ZERO disappointed. I worked hard and did it.

I’m SO grateful for my prep team who have taught me how to race this race. Each one is SO different and this one was a BIG learning lesson. We can’t always be faster than the last time, but we can always go in prepared, grateful, strong, connected and honestly this is the biggest lesson of all for me from yesterday is to dig deep and keep on moving forward.

There’s something about Greece that changes people.

Maybe it’s the salt air. The slower mornings. The deep conversations over long dinners. The laughter. The way your nervous system finally exhales.

Or maybe it’s simply what happens when you finally give yourself permission to pause.

These retreats have become so much more than yoga or workouts or travel. They’ve become a space where strangers become lifelong friends… where people reconnect to themselves again… where clarity returns.

So this is your sign.

If your soul has been asking for a reset…If life has felt heavy or nonstop…If you’ve been taking care of everyone else…If you’ve been craving inspiration, movement, joy, adventure, rest, community, or simply a breath…

Come to Greece with us.

We still have a few last-minute spots open for this summer’s ALL OUT Retreats in Amorgos & Folegandros — two of the most magical islands I’ve ever experienced.

This isn’t about being “good at yoga.”It’s about coming home to yourself.

And I would absolutely love to share this experience with you. 🇬🇷✨

DM me “GREECE” and I’ll send you all the details.

It’s a good day to have a good day.

My heart is still so full after hosting my very first retreat in Greece last summer. Sharing my homeland with a group who started as friends and students — and who truly feel like family now — was an experience beyond words. Practicing yoga together, hiking ancient paths, and finding stillness in meditation filled each day with so much joy and connection. It was a powerful reminder of how transformative it is to come together in a place that means so much to me. And now we get to do it again!

This is not simply a fitness retreat in Greece it is a homecoming back to yourself.

When you join, you are not just attending a program — you are being welcomed into a place I LOVE, guided by someone deeply connected to its rhythm and energy.

I have been asked about this so much and I’m an open book! I had an upper blepharoplasty (bleph) on December 3rd last year. I’ve always had “heavy” lids and they had begun to cross my eyeline. I felt like I was always struggling to keep my eyes open and widening my eyes in pictures only to see a basically closed eye in photos.
•
I was really nervous to get the surgery, but was confident in my amazing doctor . I made the decision when my dad (who’s 80) said Aunt Van had an upper bleph when she was 96 and I thought oh I’m gonna get use outta this, I’m only 48! To be fair Aunt Van lived to 105 so she got some good time in!
•
I can’t explain how happy I am to have done this. I’m here to answer any questions you may have. This is not an I’m just open and happy to share. I told all of my classes why I was going to out for a month. That was the worst part, you can’t workout for 4-5 weeks. Obviously, I tried to get my doc to agree to less and her response, “it’s your face” and I complied!
•
These photos are day by day. I got my stitches out after one week and flew to South Africa to need my husband’s family for the first time! You can’t wear contacts for 2 weeks or again no working out for 4-6, but really everything is totally fine after a week.

Ask me anything if you need more info. And if you need a doc I can’t speak more highly about Dr. Aviva Preminger ❤️ again, this is not an ad. I paid $😂

I have been a participant in yoga and fitness retreats for nearly 2 decades. I’ve enjoyed exploring different lands, foods, teachings and had my soul filled. These experiences have made me the person I am and I’ve always kept them as precious for myself.

In the back of my mind I knew I wanted to host my own retreats taking what I loved and learned from my travels and learning for others. Last year I did just that. I hosted a 7 day retreat in the land my grandparents came from. A place where my heart, soul & belly are filled. The week was beyond what I could have ever hoped for. A time where strangers came together to connect not only with each other, but with themselves. There was more laughter, joy, tears and pure love than I ever could have imagined. I would LOVE to have you this year, you are invited.

ALL OUT Amorgos
