The first four words you see will be your mantra for 2022.

Mine were CONNECT, STRENGTH, SELF-CARE, ALIGNMENT

Happy New Year! I've been thinking a lot about what I want for my life in 2022. I don't know about you, but I feel a calmness about it. I'm going to approach this year with an ease and peace, and I already feel it working. I still have my goals, but there is no desperation or urgency. I don't feel the need to start off with a BANG. I'm going to do what feels right and tweak my goals along the way, again, based on what FEELS right.

I will be starting a 4-Week January Reset on January 3 through January 28. All classes will be Barre/Sculpt on Zoom 8:30-9:20am, Monday-Friday. It's a total-body workout, with each week bringing new exercise moves. Class prices/passes are the same; $120/15 classes, $72/8 classes, $10/1 class. We have been doing daily classes on Zoom since April of 2020, and it's working out great! You don't even have to be seen on screen if you don't want to!

For me, January will be a MIND, BODY, SPIRIT reset. I'll share more about that tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'd love to have you join me!!!☀️🌈❤️

Good morning❤ I was bragging in class about how I have implemented a healthy habits checklist to help me get back on track over these next three weeks leading up to the Fourth of July. There is something about an actual checklist that makes me stick with it. And these are all VERY doable, because I like to set myself up for success. (Keeping the bar low- LOL!!!) Someone asked if I’d share, so here goes:

1. Apple Cider Vinegar (1 T before meals- see "recipe")
2. 12-14K Steps/day
3. 9pm bedtime
4. Cut back on cheese & wine
5. 90oz Water/day
6. Floss (twice/day)
7. Supplements (twice/day)
8. Gratitude Journal (4-5/week)
9. Headspace App (4-5/week)
10. More fruits & veggies
11. Food Journal
12. Exercise (5-6/week)
13. Moisturize/sunscreen (twice/day)
14. Collagen (daily)

Start your mornings right with this easy-to-make, apple cider turmeric detox drink bursting with incredible health benefits.

Happy Sunday!☀️ I’ve got something special for y’all! I’m starting a 4-Week Challenge tomorrow. (Mon- Sat, March 8- April 3) I’m talking guaranteed results if you commit to this workout 4-6 times a week. I took my measurements and “before” pics yesterday, and I mean business! I encourage you to do the same. Let’s end this quarantine-phase of our lives with a BANG!!!🎉 Same class passes/prices. Straightforward moves with high reps to sculpt your entire body! Class is officially 8:30-9:30, but I’ll be signing in at 8:15 and doing freestyle cardio and arms (basically skipping and moving my arms for 15 minutes), so join that too if possible. I’m excited and I hope y’all will commit to this with me!!! COME ON!!!👯‍♀️💪❤️
