Strength starts from within. Let your heart lead with courage 🤍✨

✨9.9.24 - 9.15.24✨

Second week of September is coming up quick! We’re looking forward to seeing you all 🤍

It’s a practice to embrace the beauty of imperfections ✨

Here’s to living in the moment and leaving our worries behind 🤍✨

✨8.26.24-9.1.24✨

We can’t wait to see you as our last week of summer comes to a close 🤍

It’s ok, if you had a plan and the plan changed. 🫶🏻

Surrender and allow VS force…it’s already yours ✨

While today is a day dedicated to lovers, spouses or partners, we give you permission to love yourself today too! Romanticize your life! 🤍🎀

If we are capable of really connecting to ourselves and love ourselves to the best of our ability, to hold space for our shadow and our light, we can be in love with the universe and live harmoniously with the world. 🙏🏼✨

Did you celebrate yourself today?? 🏆

Whether your wins are big or small, it doesn’t matter. List 3 wins you had in the last few weeks 👇🏼

Sometimes the only thing in your way is you.
What beliefs or repetitious thoughts are you having that are stopping you from going after what you really want ? 👇🏼

Has someone ever called you “sensitive”? ✨

Your ego may be offended, but the truth is, your sensitivity is your higher self speaking to you. Your higher self sees information that may be useful to you.

Being sensitive is a gift, not something to be ashamed of. 🫶🏻

Which era are you in ? 👇🏼

It’s been 4 years since we transitioned the studio to our own little corner of the universe, where all are welcome to explore, surrender and resurrect. ✨

Where you can bring yourself as you are and use your power to project into the world whatever it is you desire. ✨

Thank YOU for your courage to show up on your mat, for falling and getting back up and for celebrating your wins with us! We love you!

Cheers to 4 and many more! 🥂

Love, Chrissi, Sam + Arielle ✨✨✨

Every new year we hear “this is your year”—what if THIS one really is? What stands in your way of having it all and living your best life? 👇🏼

Putting ourselves first, may feel uncomfortable if for years we have pleased others or cared for others. ✨

We may have put others needs ahead of our own and didn’t even know we were doing it. ✨

What would life look like, if we took a breathe before taking an action or chose to pause before saying “yes.”

The heart of an average person emits 20 photons of light per second. Someone in a state of appreciation and loving kindness emits 100,000 photons per second. ✨✨✨

Scientific research aside, simply being grateful just makes you feel good.

We’d like to share some ways to practice thankfulness.

1. Before you get out of bed, choose 3 things that you’re grateful for.

2. Before you start a meal, say a prayer of thanks to the plants, the animal, the people who grew and processed the food,etc.

3. Donate regularly to your local food bank—it may help you appreciate being able to get food.

4. Random acts of kindness —pay the bill of the person behind you on a checkout line. Pay someone’s toll on a highway. Or just thank your checkout person using their name.

5. Thank your body for everything it is capable of- without judgment. Put your hands on your body parts and thank them one by one.

Let us know how it feels 🫶🏻

What’s your 2024 mantra?
Please share below, if you feel called to 👇🏼

Embrace Acceptance, Embrace Love!

Let's break free from judgment and embrace the beauty of diversity!

We all have different paths, dreams, and ways of living. Instead of judging others, let's open our hearts and minds to understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

Remember, we never truly know someone's journey or what battles they may be facing. Let's choose kindness over judgment, and empathy over assumptions.

Celebrate the richness of our differences and the tapestry of human experiences. Let's create a world where acceptance thrives, and love knows no bounds.

Who are we to call out someone for using a filter on their photo, or hugging in their tummy, why would we believe we have any say in what someone else wears or posts, who someone else chooses to marry, whether they get Botox or are wearing makeup or not. When did anyone decide how long someone gets to grieve any loss or trauma. Non of this is for us to decide for one another, if you believe in what you believe in great, just don’t try and shove it down anyone’s throat. You can not truly practice inclusivity without the belief in acceptance. Honoring each other and ourselves with grace. Continue to do you and allow others to do the same. Looking for praise while putting down others will always dull your shine so check in to that ego from time to time. When we all shine together it’s pure magic.

Standing together, hand in hand, and embracing the power of acceptance. Building bridges and connection. Spreading love in every interaction. Together, we can make a difference!

Finding peace within yourself is an important aspect of leading a happy and fulfilling life. In today's fast-paced and stressful world, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. However, there are several things you can do to cultivate a sense of inner peace and calm.

One way to find peace within yourself is to make time for self-care. This can include activities like meditation, yoga, pilates, taking a relaxing bath, or going for a walk in nature. When you take time to take care of yourself, you are sending a message to your mind and body that you are important and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.

Another way to find inner peace is to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. By practicing mindfulness, you can learn to let go of negative thoughts and emotions and cultivate a sense of inner calm and peace.

In addition, cultivating positive relationships with others can also help you find peace within yourself. This can include spending time with loved ones, joining a support group, or volunteering in your community. By connecting with others and offering support, you can feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment that can help you find peace within yourself.

Finally, it's important to remember that finding peace within yourself is a journey, not a destination. It takes time and effort to cultivate a sense of inner peace, but with patience and persistence, you can learn to find calm and happiness within yourself. So take the time to practice self-care, mindfulness, and positive relationships, and enjoy the journey towards inner peace. 🤍🙏🏼✨

The world begins and ends with us.

All we must do is remember the wolf within us.

Happy international woman’s day!

May we continue to lead with open, fierce hearts. 🙏🏼🤍✨

We really all have come so far, and we have so much more ahead of us. It’s important to remember even if you aren’t where you thought you’d be, you aren’t where you used to be. Growth can be so tiny you barely noticed it happen and you wake up one day not even recognizing who you once were. Show yourself grace, take some time to notice the shifts you have made towards the person you are meant to be. You will thank yourself later🙏🏼🤍

Field trip!!!! So much fun for us and them❤️

Reach out if you are interested in having a field trip here!

Forty students, who were the top scorers of Fitness Testing for Rhythm and Movement, participated in a Pilates, Yoga, and Dance Field Trip! The field trip went to Sacred Space at Hot Pilates Secret, the owner and instructor Chrissi Forde is also a Plainedge resident! The students absolutely loved this experience that combined a physical workout & mental empowerment!

The truth is we can start anything at any time, on any day. New Year’s is just a collective way to begin again, you can feel it in the air, in the energy around us. But ultimately we get to decide which direction we go in. So maybe just sit with yourself and listen, maybe journal, maybe scream, maybe cry, maybe do all of it.
And remember…

Authenticity is freedom, being your true honest self, honest with your flaws, your shortcomings, the things that scare you, the things that light you up. If you live in a true and honest space nothing can get in your way. Pretending will not get you anywhere but stuck. Be authentic in every way in everything you do. Your soul growth depends on it. You can not hide and expect to be seen.

Surround yourself with like-minded humans, people who lift you up, who want the best for you, who you can feel want the best for you and you want the best for. If someone can’t see all of you and still stand by your side with pride and love, this is not your person and they are not worth your energy. Always send love and release them because maybe this just isn’t your time with them. We are always shifting and growing and the universe is working very hard to align you with just the right souls.

Choose you!!! Choose to start over again and again and again. Honor your light and your dark, your calm and your storm. Your strength is in your softness. When the doubts roll in use them as firewood to burn bigger and brighter. Every single one of us is worthy, every single one of our flawed beautiful souls is worthy, do not forget that ever.

May this year bring you closer to all of yours dreams, to deeper connections and above all else more love and kindness🙏🏼🤍✨2023
