Energize & Rebalance in 2 min!
This is probably the Quickest and most efficient way to energize and rebalance because it includes arching and rounding the spine- encouraging energy flow thru your spine (shushumna energy channel) and throughout your body, while strengthening your arms & core and stretching your core & back. It also stretches your hip flexors, upper & lower calves and includes an inversion (down dog), which is an energizing pose.
I demonstrated 2 here, but feel free to do as many as you'd like .... I usually do 3, 7 or 11 ... depending on how much time I have.

Welcome to another Therapeutic Thursday ๐ Today we are talking about stress...
A common occurrence in our modern world, but not something that has to define us or throw us off of our magical journeys we are on...
When not dealt with, stress can not only negatively impact our mental wellbeing, it can lead to a slew of physical ailments such as fatigue, tension, headaches, gut issues, and can eventually contribute to disease and other more serious health implications.
The good news is, SO MUCH of our well-being and how we navigate stress is in our hands.
We have the freedom to choose what we do with our bodies and our minds in our daily life.
By choosing to take even a short amount of time to devote to wellness practices, we can reduce the negative impacts of stress, and redirect our focus to return to a calm, empowered presence.
Here are some grounding practices you can use to reduce and/or relieve stress...
Body
-Explore breathwork practices, which can be as simple as taking 10 deep breaths.
-Get physical activity like yoga, dancing, running, or swimming.
-Take a hot bath.
-Rest or taking a nap.
-Get a massage or acupuncture.
-Take a walk in nature.
-Use Essential oils or aromatherapy.
-Spend time with a pet.
-Tidy up your home or office space.
Mind
-Meditate.
-Listen to music you love, or discover new artists.
-Acknowledge your feelings, be graceful and kind to yourself as you remember that emotions are temporary.
-Plan ahead and get your thoughts organized.
-Focus on positive life events and all the incredible things you've accomplished.
-Use powerful self talk and affirmations. Our words and thoughts are impactful!
Emotions
-Allow yourself to laugh, cry, scream,...let it out! This is part of being human.
-Express yourself through journaling or creating art.
-Channel your emotions into a hobby such as cooking, gardening, crafting, etc.
-Talk things out with someone you trust. It can be helpful to set the tone of the conversation by letting them know
Step into the world of Underground Yoga Dance tomorrow at this incredible location in Marina del Rey!
We journey together through guided meditation, dance inspired yoga sequences and guided free-form,
freestyle dancing.
It becomes spontaneous healing art, flowing freely from each individual's soul... capturing their special skills and style.
I curate and mix live a juicy soundtrack for our movement adventure, as we explore, connect and ignite the power of
a different Chakra in each session..
This Saturday from 4-6pm, weโll be working into the 3rd Chakra, the Manipura Energy Center, which is where your truth, inner power and ultimately your self-confidence manifests. The Manipura Chakra is located around the solar plexus, and is a source of personal empowerment that governs self-esteem, warrior energy, and the power to transformation. This Chakra also plays a role in our metabolism and digestion.
When your Manipura Chakra is healthy ...
โ๏ธ You naturally honor yourself, others and the planet.
โ๏ธ Inner struggles dissolve, as you simply stand in your truth easily and effortlessly.
โ๏ธ You feel a greater sense of confidence.
โ๏ธ Youโre self disciplined and choose Right Action.
โ๏ธ You increase your ability to achieve your goals.
โ๏ธ You express from authenticity.
โ๏ธ And so much more โฆ
Join me tomorrow, Saturday at 4pm as we practice moving with greater awareness, connection and strength.
We will learn to connect even deeper within our core, while developing greater coordination and agility.

How many of you have been unconsciously leaning forward as you look at your phone and laptop? If you have tension around your neck, head and shoulders, this could be the reason.
This is your sign to take a moment to drop into your body and stretch your neck which holds that beautiful brain and head up for you to share your presence with the world! Try out this mini wellness moment for Therapeutic Thursdaysโฆ as I give you a nurturing neck stretch.
Therapeutic movements like these not only help relieve tension through stretching, they help distribute nutrients into the disc space, joints and soft tissues in the neck. And of course a regular exercise routine helps improve mobility and strength while reducing the severity and duration of possible future pain in those areas of focus.
Happy stretching and hope you have a fantastic rest of your week! โจ

Happy Therapeutic Thursdays!!!
Today we're healing shin splints!
As I always say,
๐ค "Give your Body what it needs
and it will heal itself" ๐ค
Shin splints can be irritating and even painful ๐ They could even take you out of the game, off the track, or off the dance floor for a hot minute.
But have no fear - there's an easy solution to get rid of shin splints and also to prevent them from occurring in the future.
Shout out to coach @djluisrosario for giving me the idea to do this one. ๐
Thanks
Dance Is The Expression Of Our Spirit ...
๐ Dance allows our SPIRIT to come out and PLAY!!!
๐ Let Go of human control
๐ Let the music ๐ถ move thru you
๐ Allow your Spirit to shine thru you
๐ Experience a Natural Elevation!
According to Science Daily,
"Dancers show consistent differences in two key genes from the general population- including the serotonin transporter, which regulates the level of serotonin, a brain transmitter that contributes to spiritual experiences"
Probably the most profound spiritual experiences come from freestyle & freeform type dancing.
This Wednesday, April 28th, I will be providing the musical canvas for the expression of your spirit @ecstaticdancela on Venice Beach โฑ
Since Covid - this is my 1st DJ Experience in person ... the onlines have been great, but I am so excited to connect with you all dancing in person!
If you haven't been to Ecstatic Dance yet - this is a great time to check it out.
Dancing on the beach in the silent disco headphones ๐ง ... at the water edge...into the sunset ... need I say more?
Link for tickets is in my linktree in bio
