Yoga is for every BODY...

You don't need to show up to your yoga mat looking or being a certain way.

But for all these years, we’ve been led to believe that yogis all look the same--skinny, young, healthy, wealthy, & super flexible.

Because that's all you see on TV, in magazines, and social media

I'm here to change all that

I teach women just like you how to show up to yoga, just as you are, and begin a yoga practice that works for YOUR BODY, YOUR LIFESTYLE, YOUR NEEDS so you can put yourself back at the top of your own list of priorities and find the peace of mind you deserve

Start your yoga journey with me...

I'm opening up spots next week to work with me in my transformational yoga and wellness coaching program 😍

You're doin' too much, sis 💕
And that’s a hard pill to swallow because you think if you stop doing everything, it won't get done (or it won't get done RIGHT!)
It’s actually the complete opposite
Your family/friends/coworkers can tell when you’re doing things from a place of love vs. resentment
They can FEEL it!
And I’m not talking about letting everything go, quitting you job and getting complacent or lazy.
I’m talking about actually slowing down and letting yourself just BE OKAY with the way things are right now!
What happens when you do?
✅ less stress & anxiety (no more burnout!!)
✅ more self love, self trust & self acceptance
✅ PEACE, CALM, GROUNDED & CENTERED
So how can you slow down & do less?
🔥 prioritize yourself. You MUST put yourself, your needs, and your wants ahead of everyone and everything else. And that's not being selfish. It's self care. Pour into yourself.
🔥 go outside. How often are you putting down your phone, closing your laptop, and just stepping outside to be fully present with nature? Trust me, do this more often and see how things shift for you.
🔥 develop a morning routine--especially one that includes starting off in silence, meditation, gratitude, a little movement, and self reflection through journaling.
And guess what happens when you truly embody this? I mean TRULYYYYY!
You hit goals without even trying. Without the struggle, without the stress & anxiety, without the hustle & grind, and without feeling like a you're gonna lose your 💩 all the time
I’m hosting one more Yoga, Mindfulness, & Journaling session this month! Are you new to the idea of slowing down & living a "soft life"? Comment below if you need the link 🙌🏻🤟🏻

The power of Yoga + Mindfulness, plus a free event 👇🏽

Have you ever said to yourself ...

“I know WHAT I need to do. So WHYYYYY can’t I get myself to do it?”

Well … you’re not alone. And you’re also in luck because this month we’re going to take a deep dive into all things MINDFULNESS.

Because if you KNOW what you need to do and the kind of life you want to have, but it’s just not happening … it might just be your mindset getting in the way.

It plays a big role in your MOTIVATION, your CHOICES, and even your HAPPINESS.

“Mindfulness” can actually:

➡Make your workouts (& yoga session) results better,
➡Make it easier to make healthy food & relationship choices,
➡Improve your day-to-day feelings of happiness, and even
➡Play a role in your long-term health.

And you know what?

Several 2B Yogis and graduates of Body Love Academy over the years have told me that having a consistent yoga & mindfulness practice has helped them feel:

🧘🏽‍♀️ calmer
✨less stressed and
😲more focused.

So what actually IS mindfulness?

In a nutshell, it’s when you’re present, self aware and in the driver’s seat for your own life.

Too often we’re in “auto-pilot” mode and let our habits run our life.
It’s the fastest way to stay “stuck” or even go backward.

That’s why I’m excited to dive in and share a few of the actionable strategies we teach our yogis on how you can apply mindfulness into your OWN life to achieve goals … that actually LAST.

And...

Why I want to personally invite you to a free virtual yoga & mindfulness class with me , so you can break free from feeling stuck, and truly create a life you love living. (Half the spots are already gone...I wouldn't wait!) Link in comments...

Sunset Salutations with Ashley in Bailey Park

June 30 at 6pm!

What's your word for 2022?

We are two weeks into 2022 already! Now that 2022 is in full swing and the holidays are behind us …

That means it’s time to DECIDE …

What do you want?

And who do you need to BECOME in order to have what you want?

and I’ve got an experiment for you to fire up that excitement for the year!

It’s to pick your "WORD OF THE YEAR!"

Your word will set the tone for the entire year. It’s basically like your 2022 mantra. It’s your intention. Your word will help you to:

Stay focused

Set priorities

Make decisions

Reach your goals

Here’s how it works.

It’s simple. All you do is choose a word that resonates with you and what you aim to achieve this year, and keep it front-and-center in your mind as the year progresses.

But it’s also challenging because it has to be the RIGHT word, one that you connect with emotionally AND that aligns with your life and goals.

How to set your word:

Some questions to ask yourself as you choose your word …

→ If you could skip ahead to a year from now, what would you like to be proud of? Then, what is ONE characteristic you’ll need to embody to get there?

→ Who inspires you? What word would you use to describe them?

→ What is the underlying theme of the goals you have for this year?

→ How does the word make you FEEL?

It can help to make a list of words and think about them for a day or two before choosing.

Here are some ideas to get your mind going …

Simplify
Trust
Inspire
Bravery
Confidence
Grounded
Healing
Adaptable
Courage
Stability
Boldness
Unconditional
Love
Enlightened
Abundance
Family
Gratitude
Self-Acceptance
Beautiful
Authentic
Transformation
Peace
Breathe
Powerful
Becoming

After you choose your word …

Find ways to keep it in mind. Make it your phone screensaver, put a Post-It note on your refrigerator door and/or in your car, create a graphic featuring the word and frame it, and place it on your desk or on your bathroom wall.

What word are YOU choosing for this year?

I’d love to know! Tell us inside of the Facebook Group.

PS: Quick reminder that the Our Virtual Women' Full Moon Ceremony is this Sunday! The full moon is a great time to set intentions and let go of what no longer serves you.

There's only one reason to look back 🍑🍑🍑

https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20231878&appointmentType=28671314

Lately, you may be feeling like "This is some bullsh💩"...

Especially if you’ve tried and failed time and time again to:
🙃reduce stress & anxiety,
🙃get healthier, aaaaaand
🙃fight the urge to start a new diet …

Chiiile -- I feel you. It’s frustrating…

You just want to prove to the world (and yourself) that you got this.

You’re ready to go all in…

But you notice doubt trickling in.

"Can I really stop feeling so stressed all the time?"

"It seems like every time I take two steps forward, something happens and I take three steps back."

"Where do I even start?"

There’s something you have to remember:

It’s so important to have a positive support system that holds you accountable.

Your environment is everything.

So if your friends and family aren’t willing or able to support you through this next chapter…

it’s time to get some outside support.

Someone (or a group of people) who is in your corner and truly gets what you’re going through.

That’s why I’ve built my 2B Yoga community…

Because I know how important it is to have an expert to help you get the results you want and deserve and support community of badass women just like you in your corner!

Taking back control of your health (mental AND physical) doesn’t need to be as hard as it may seem right now.

There are so many resources and paths available to you!

The #1 action step you can take to set yourself up for success is to build a solid support system around you and your goals so you can have the accountability you need to create lasting change.

And just so you know—you have ME in your corner now 😉

Which is why I want to personally invite you to a free virtual Holiday Sister Circle with me & the 2B Yoga community

✨so you can get out of your own way, and truly get back to doing the things that make you happy and make you feel like YOU again.

In this free yoga holiday workshop, you’ll discover:
😍How to establish a daily self care ritual so you can start each day off calm, centered, grounded and focused af

🔥A simple way to manage the holiday stress & holiday parties, without having to avoid the Christmas cookies or cuss out Aunt Karen

💯The secret sauce to finding your calm through this busy time of year

💕Did you know it doesn't matter if you workout in the AM or PM for it to count? This means you don't have to get up at 5:00am to "feel the burn." Exercise is a great tool to use to de-stress and reduce anxiety. We'll talk about how to easily make movement a priority you can stick to

Plus a whole lot more…

A NEW 2B Yoga Workshop👇🏽
2byoga.net/nutrition 🥨🍉🍟🍓🍗🥑🥝🍕

🧁Want to know how to improve your eating habits but without a single solitary diet?

I just opened the doors to my 4 Week Nutrition Workshop. A brand new experience that gives you the exact steps to ditch the diets and love the skin you’re in!

Excited to offer this is an understatement for how i feel to be sharing all of this goodness with you

Here’s what we’ll cover:
🙋🏽‍♀️How to step away from diets and diet culture (it’s trash and most of us know that by now, but it can still be challenging to unlearn it completely)

🙋🏽‍♀️How to eat in a way that honors your health and your taste buds and still allows you to reach your personal goals--no matter what they are

🙋🏽‍♀️ How yoga plays a very impactful role in supporting your health, your emotions and eating decisions

Until now, I’ve NEVER shared this information outside of my yoga and wellness group coaching program, Body Love Academy. But I can't wait to help women step far, far away from the diets, and step into a body that you love.

💕For some of you the goal may be weight loss. And if that’s the case, we’ll honor that, support you and hold space for you without judgement.

💕For others, the goal will just be to feel better in your own skin or learn how to build a healthy meal whether you’re on the go, eating at home or eating out. If that’s you, we honor and support that too!

This is a judgement free zone!

We’re doing this live together. Drop a gif below to save your spot today and I’ll get you all the details.

It was just me and the girls, breath work, mindfulness, yoga, nature, journaling, and getting centered and grounded in affirmations and goals

And that’s why I’m feeling inspired to invite YOU to one of a Sister Circle. This one's gonna be all about establishing a Magical Morning Routine (this is usually only for my BLA clients)

I want you to experience this sexy, juicy, simple, powerful, sacred time with us

Getting calm, grounded, balanced, more at peace, releasing anxiety, tension, & stress...
..Having a better relationship with food and your body...
..doesn't have to be complicated...it doesn't

Having a SOLID af morning routine helps you:
● have more energy, focus and direction during the day,

Yesterday I went on a walk with Britney Spears BLASTING in my earbuds 🎶🎵🎧

No, I haven't lost my mind...

💜💜💜You see, last week was emotional for me. I was more tired than normal, the power went out while hubby was out of town, and I got really vulnerable during a coaching session with my business coaches. Some major stuff came up.

There was a time, that this level of stress and emotion would have sent me straight to the kitchen for whatever salty or sweet thing I could get my hands on!

➡ which would lead to guilt and shame and then me trying to overcompensate by working out extra hard the next day
But this weekend, instead of eating my emotions…

💜💜💜I chose pleasure

-I took the most luxurious candlelit shower
-I spent 15 minutes putting on lotion afterwards and savored every moment, used every sense, even locked eyes with myself in the mirror for a few moments
-I ordered my kids school supplies and groceries online instead of fighting with crowds of overwhelmed parents in Target and Walmart
-I challenged myself with a really fun 25 minute workout
-I treated myself to a yoga session
-And...I listened to Britney Spears “Work Bitch!” more times than I’m willing to admit

Ya'll I'll be honest -- I can't remember the last time I emotionally ate...

Because when you follow the method I teach my clients in Body Love Academy, you learn what to do with the emotions & cravings so you never have to look for them in a bag of chips again

I’ll be teaching my 3 step system for dealing with cravings, bingeing and emotional eating tomorrow at 7pm in my Facebook Group--join me LIVE so we can chat!

2B Yoga's Body Love Academy is officially open for enrollment. 2 spots are already taken and we begin August 30. See below to apply 💜💜💜

How to Stay Motivated...

💥💜✨Connect deeply to a STRONG & CLEAR why

Instead of:
❌❌"I want to lose 30lbs, tone up and get rid of my belly"

Try:
🔥 "I want a stronger core so my back doesn't hurt every time I sneeze. Not only that, it's really uncomfortable when my jeans press into my belly. I want to get dressed in the morning and feel good when I look in the mirror. I know I'll feel so much more confident."

Let's reframe:
❌❌ "I want to fit back into my pre-baby jeans"

As:
💥" I want to get more active so I can play with my kids and not be so out of breath when I walk up the stairs. I want to feel sexy around my husband again. And more than anything, I just want to feel more comfortable in my own skin again."

Does that make sense?

Think about how you want to FEEL, what you want to be able to DO, and what EXPERIENCE you want to have instead of how you want to LOOK to unlock your strongest why and your deepest potential

Other ways to stay motivated:
💛 Have a plan ---> that works
🧡 Have a motivation strategy (know what you will do--WHEN not IF--life happens)
💚 Be aware of when it's self sabotage and when you're getting in your own way
💜 Have support/accountability/community to share your highs and lows with

If you want to FEEL more confident, HAVE natural energy and BE more at peace with your body while enjoying food and loving life, join us inside Body Love Academy. We will release the weight that is holding you back from feeling stronger, more confident, and more appreciative of all the things your body can do, feel, and be: https://forms.gle/B9hG5sMH6WuKXNKG9

Hip Hop Yoga in Bailey Park
Tomorrow at 6pm 🍑❤️🔥

I remember the first time I taught yoga to hip hop...

Most yoga classes have either no music or soft gentle spa music playing the the background

But not this time.

I had made an entire playlist called "Bad Bitch"

I had no idea what was going to think or the other girls in my YTT cohort, but I went for it...

I cranked the music up (all the way up!) and encouraged the b***y shaking and playful movement...

Not gon' lie. I was nervous AF, but I owned it

I had no idea that this one class was going to become THE THING that birthed "2B Yoga" and the mission behind 2B Yoga

And here we are, three years later still bending it ova, bussin it open, twerking, and being a bad bitch on and off the yoga mat

Because when you feel safe enough to twerk in downdog, soon you'll start to connect to your body and feel confident af in your own skin--and unapologetically like the bad bitch that you already are

In honor of my 3 year yoga anniversary, if 2B Yoga hosted a How to Be a Bad Bitch Yoga Challenge, would you be down?

Comment 🍑 below if you'd be into it so I can start planning.

Tell me you've been to a 2B Yoga class without telling me you've been to a 2B Yoga class ⬇ (in the comments)

This is an invitation to join my incredible 1:1 private coaching program that has now helped dozens of new & curvy yogis hit their yoga, health, and wellness goals and stay consistent from there.

If you’re currently craving health and healing, light and balance and know you require accountability and support to stay consistent, this program is for you.

We work together for three months on the following things:

1. Getting clear on your vision of how you want to feel, and who you want to become and setting a goal with the daily and weekly action steps that you need to implement to create an overall healthy lifestyle.

2. Building body confidence and working on how you think, speak, feel, and treat your body as well as others’ bodies

3. Creating a personalized health and wellness lifestyle plan that is sustainable and enjoyable

4. Weekly movement plan so that you can pamper yourself with self care, find balance, strength, flexibility, joy, and peace of mind

This program isn’t a series of videos you watch on your own, where you’re left to figure it all out and second guess yourself.

You will have monthly 1:1 calls with me and weekly accountability & group yoga classes, along with a step by step process to get the clarity you need to lay a solid foundation for ending body shame, feeling better about your body at any size, reducing emotional eating, learning to listen to what YOUR body needs to be healthy, and creating a personalized healthy lifestyle plan.

You will also have access to message me throughout the week for check ins and feedback to make sure you’re headed in the right direction.

By the end of our three months together, you will have hit your first health and wellness goal and have the clarity, confidence, and consistency you need to just wear the DAMN shorts.

This isn’t just a system to “try on.”

You are getting the exact foundation to optimize & improve your overall health and wellness so that you can be an influence and set THE example for friends and family.

I’ve taught hundreds of women how to start yoga and how to support their current lifestyle with health and nutrition support, and along the way have created a system that is easier, more actionable, and gets even better results, especially in a 1:1 capacity.

I want to make sure you get results, so this program is not for everyone.

You must:

-Be tired of not feeling good in your body

- Have an open mind and come in ready to shift your perspective on what true health and wellness means

- Be willing to give up the concept of dieting and quick fixes as a way to get healthy

- Be ready to find joy in a healthy lifestyle and connect with others who are on the same path and journey as you.

Send me a quick DM if you’re interested, we’ll have a quick chat to see if it’s a fit.

I am continuously looking for ways to improve 2B Yoga and I'd love your help!

I know the past year has done a number on our mental and physical health and the way we feel about our bodies. When was the last time you put on jeans and felt confident? 😳

You feel like the only way to possibly feel comfortable in your own skin is to cut calories, stop eating carbs and all the other fun foods you enjoy, and start going hard in the gym. But you also know from past experience that diets just don't work--at least not long term. You know that the times you've lost weight in the past, gave you an immediate confidence boost, but you're never actually satisfied and you're secretly afraid of gaining all the weight back.

Your professional life is stressful. You need to feel some sense of work/life balance, but it feels impossible. And when you do have the time to take for yourself, the last thing you want to do is workout...you want to SLEEP!

2B offers a holistic wellness program that gives you the tools to learn how to eat healthy and balanced without dieting so you never have to give up your favorite foods; build a positive body image so that you feel comfortable in your own skin while you’re on your journey; and of course YOGA so that you’re getting both a workout (HIIT Yoga) and building some coping mechanisms for stress (Restorative Yoga & Meditation)! I specifically work with people who are absolute beginners of yoga.

This program is all about feeling more connected and confident in your body and tapping into what works FOR you so you can stop doing all the things that are working AGAINST you and start to feel like THE BADDEST in the room (because you are 💖🔥).

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, would you help me by answering a few research questions? Comment below if you can help. Thanks in advance 🙂
