If I were to actually offer a class like this - I think I'd call it YardFit 🌳🪣🌱🛠 😆

Playing in the snow...what a JOY. ❄️. It’s like swimming in a sea of glittering crystals.✨
The cold makes me want to move and the bottomless powder makes every step a conscious effort. 🎿 Thank you for this beautiful gift Mother Nature, keep it coming!

FIERCENESS 🦁💥🐻 FEROCITY
What does this mean for you?

A lion-hearted warrior spirit comes naturally to me. For years I used it to FIGHT for what I believed to be right. Fight to be the best. Go Fight WIN!

These days I can see that fighting just begets more fighting. And injury. And division. No one wins.

Today, my ferocity has been redirected, but not toward any external battle. I stand fiercely as the embodiment of love and compassion in the face of self-abuse, judgement and inner turmoil.

This internal battle is the only war there is to win.
It will not be won with violence or debate or annihilation. The only victorious strategy is unconditional self-love.

As I witness an external reality steeped in hatred, I breathe into the hatred still living in my own heart. As I feel the heartless ferocity of others, I focus my own ferocity on the realm upon which I reign. My own heart.

In love. Only love. 💖

PS - I used this photo as an example of ferocity... and I took this photo at a restaurant that had these animal heads on the wall. I am totally opposed to trophy hunting, and would never kill a bear or a lion.

I feel so fortunate to be living my dream job while so many trainers are struggling during the pandemic.
🏋️‍♀️
Not only am I training people all over the world LIVE through the Openfit App - I am also recruiting and training our new trainers.
🧘‍♀️
If you are a yoga teacher or fitness pro looking for work, and you live in Atlanta, Austin, or Tahoe - hit me up. I would love to share this amazing opportunity with you.

When the world feels upside down, getting inverted really helps me keep things in perspective.⁠
🤸‍♀️⁠
In a handstand - all I can think about is staying in balance. There's no space in my brain to get upset about current events, worry about my family, or fret about finances. Handstands force me to focus and get out of my head.

Your body = the earth 🌏 Healthy living only makes sense when it is good for the whole planet. You are part of the earth.
🌱
When "healthy" products are produced by tearing down the rain forest, shipped thousands of miles, and packaged in single-use plastic... they are NOT healthy in the big picture, regardless of the ingredients.

I was so so happy to find these local organic blueberries in cardboard. I even composted the container in my worm bin. 🐛

Learning a new skill is so humbling.

Since social distancing as a lifestyle started, I have been learning to spin the contact staff. I thought it would be easy, since I took baton classes as a kid, but I have been finding it pretty challenging.

This has been a great practice for me.
- To let go of needing to be good at it
- To start from the beginning
- To let go of comparing myself to experts
- To just enjoy doing it
- To be patient with myself
- To not throw a fit when I mess it up
..and when I get my skills together, I'm going to set this thing on fire 🔥😜💥

A team is a powerful thing. At the time I am writing this, over 1.7 million people pledged to Run with Maud today.

It was an honor, and honestly pretty emotional for me to lead this live event at 6am for . And it was so inspiring to see so Openfit Teammates from all over the country run to show they care.

A few hours later, I did the run myself while .go22 led the charge. Even more teammates and love and inspiration shared. As challenged by Jo, I even did the 26 burpees I would have had Ahmaud do if he had come to my class today.

I kinda hate running, but Ahmaud Arbery loved it so today I ran for him. Every human on this earth deserves to run in safety, without fear.

I love that today’s event was his High School football coach’s idea. A team is a powerful thing.

I have had tears in my eyes all day thinking about this horrible crime, and more so when I think about what it would feel like for this to happen to an athlete I coached. Or a family member.

I know that I am a privileged white woman and that even if I try, I can’t truly comprehend what it would be like to live in fear of violent racism. But I do care, and I am committed to do and say what I can.

Happy Birthday Ahmaud. This run’s for you ❤️

May we see with clarity that we are all on the same team 🙏

I am the love of my life. My own soulmate. I love me. Unconditionally.⁠
💖⁠
I have finally stepped out of the not-enoughness. The self-loathing, self-shaming sad scared version of me.⁠
⁠
I always thought I had to be perfect to be loveable, and I refused to love myself until perfection was accomplished.⁠
⁠
I would say:⁠
- I just need to lose 5 pounds...⁠
- I gotta get more consistent with my workouts...⁠
- If I could only eat totally clean...⁠
THEN I could actually love myself.⁠
⁠
Even if I actually did these things - there would always be something else I needed to do to be more perfect.⁠
⁠
Here's the thing. Perfection is not actually attainable. So then neither is conditional self-love. ⁠
⁠
⚡️NEW STORY ⚡️⁠
⁠
Today - I love me. Just the imperfect way I am. Unconditionally. ⁠
⁠
Even if I gain 100 pounds, miss a month of workouts and eat dessert all day. I deserve to be loved.⁠
⁠
Right here - right now - just like this.⁠
⁠
I love me.⁠
⁠
When I work out... when I eat healthily - I do so out of a deep self-honoring. ⁠
⁠
And THAT is the triumph of true love.
✨💗✨
