I often say: when life makes you a mama, you'll need a support group for that. It's the kind of support / cheer squad that says, "I am with you, been there, done that. You've got this!" My latest blog post is up on @lucyactivewear and I'm toasting all the mamas through some of my own tales of knuckled coffee grips, discombobulated parenting labels, being *that mom* hiding in the closet or car, body changes--the ones we don't mention, and telling it like it is on intimacy after children. This gig is a gift like no other. Raising a glass to all of you mamas out there lifting our future leaders.

Back to the yoga. I've been teaching the above pose nearly every class for the last couple weeks. This is for my friends with low back issues, ones that sit or stand for long periods, for the mamas and papas that pop their hips forward/to cradle their babes, for the deep back bending kings and queens, etc. Place a block on the low setting beneath your sacrum. It's the low and flat part of your back, just above the tailbone. Providing a nice, wide base allowing your bones to rest. The goal here is to let your bones become heavy, with time and breath; taking great care to relax. You can plant your feet, lift your heels to dangle by your cheeks, or send your legs out long. Let your entire body relax, if your core is engaged with your legs lifted, bring them back to earth. Steady your breath and stay here for a good 5-10 minutes, allowing a broad achy-ness. To come out, plant feet wide, lift hips slowly removing the block, and knock the knees together. Slowly, take the knees side to side, like awkward windshield wipers, taking your time to come out and up. For more zen-like poses re-connecting to yourself, check out my #lucyletsgo blog: get your zen on with @lucyactivewear. I wrote this in prep for the holiday season and think it's quite necessary during this highly charged week.

Fall, you are looking mighty fine! This month's #lucyletsgo blog post is up and it's all about fashion and fun! It is my most favorite time of year: the leaves, layers, and flare! I style four of my favorite fall picks for yoga, street to studio, dressing up, and on the go. You can see how I mix and match, layer up and dress down for this season. I believe that every piece has its purpose for reasons and seasons, nothing in my closet sits to collect dust.

You are worth more than you realize. You are incredible, powerful, brave, strong, and unstoppable. You are #relentlesslybeautiful. YOU ARE EVERYTHING! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leave all the negativity of yesterday in the past. It's done, gone, and can't be replayed. Look at tomorrow with bright eyes and an open heart to make your choices that will lead you to the life you want to create. If something isn't bringing you joy, leave it behind. The negativity won't fuel your dreams, it will only bring you crashing down. You want to live healthier, do it! Make the change, make the commitment, and move forward. In life you get a second chance, it's called tomorrow. Take it and remember you got this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No effort is wasted. In life there will always be moments where your maximum efforts will ebb and flow especially when you intermix fitness with motherhood and life. As a mother, we always have the best intentions to plan hard for the week to minimize as much setbacks or failures, but life has a funny way of throwing unexpected punches at you to see how you will adapt and adjust. The most powerful muscles you have is your mind and heart. Discipline is what gets us started on day one, grace is what propels us to continue on with the journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Show up for life, always be intentional and relentless towards your goals, but don’t forget to celebrate your efforts and consistency towards your efforts to be #betterthanyesterdaystrongerfortomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PC 📷: @encarnacionphotography #lucyletsgo wearing @lucyactivewear http://liketk.it/2po3Y @liketoknow.it #liketkit (at San Jose, California)
