Positive Affirmations

The past few weeks, those close to me have been hitting me left and right with the importance of positive affirmations in developing a positive mindset ( you all know who you are and I thank you )

Angels fall but mostly we soar. Don't try to do everything at once. Pace yourself. As long as you keep moving forward, you'll get there. Be kind to yourself and Lead with Love.

BOSTON MARATHON

Congrats to everyone who trained and took part in the Marathon on Monday :))))

Now that you are done running, come to SOUTH BOSTON YOGA so that we can fix you ;)

I'm only slightly kidding with my last comment.  This AMAZING facility has an awesome staff that is knowledgeable beyond belief and ready to get you back in ALIGNMENT, STRONGER than you were before, and more FLEXIBLE than ever.  

Even if it is to run Boston 2011 :)

On Saturday I was honored to help out DAVID VENDETTI at the Hynes Convention Center with YOGA FOR RUNNERS!
We got creative with rolled up mats, traditional yoga poses, and self myo-fascial release techniques!

is Your Mirror Trying to Tell You Something?

How many of you have looked at yourself in the mirror and thought my goodness is this what I have become. Many of our clients will say something along the lines that they do not want to end up looking like their 80-year-old mother. Or have to worry about all the health concerns that their parents are going through. My coworker read this article and thought I was being too harsh. Maybe but it is the truth and it is what we hear on a weekly basis so I thought why not tell it the way it is.

THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE

and the waist is a terrible thing to mind ;)

SIDE POSE

                                                BACK POSE

Most girls who compete in Figure Shows possess an athletic build and create the allusion of curves via posing or some with a little help from implants ;)
Now I completely understand why it's so prevalent in this SPORT. It is pretty much impossible to have breasts when you get competition lean!
I have been blessed (note the sarcasm here) with a swimmer's build, AKA I'm nice and straight, like a rectangle. Therefore my FRONT STANCE is my weakest pose.
With more of a strength training base to get my shoulders STACKED and my legs BIGGER I would be ok, but for this first show, I'm outta luck.

What can I say...fake it til ya make it ;)

I'll play on my strengths :)

Not gonna lie, this week has been rough.  Rough for sleep, rough for work, rough for my workouts.  I'M TIRED!

The past two days I LEGIT only went to the gym so that I could eat 16 rice crackers when I was done.  YIKES I think its a little early in this game for that nonsense.

My strength is constant its just taking more out of me to stay there.  But I can't take the heavy volume so that has definitely gone down.  I am very lucky that the diet is working for me now and I have no real "show weight" to get to, and there are no double sessions yet :)
