OM Body

How to: get STRONGER __ Change your FOCUS. The results in my photo above are a RESULT of a new approach to EVERYTHING last year! A change of focus towards fitness, yoga, my business direction and my personal health & mental well-being... IT ALL STARTED WITH... Online classes 10-months agoDuring lockdown, I had to re-evaluate my method of presenting fitness and yoga classes. What I did LIVE (in person, face to face) in my studios would not necessarily work for the viewer/student at home. As I began re-working my class content , language & intentions for home use, my own BODY also changed dramatically!Leaner, stronger & more energized than my 20+ years of teaching & training My intention for the viewer/student joining us for our online classes was to provide a healthy, positive daily connection during the wildly uncertain times of lockdown I shortened the time frames, created specific at home programs with no equipment needed and focused on teaching BODY AWARENESS. Originally this was out of a SAFETY concern as I could no longer SEE if anyone was out of alignment which could potentially lead to injuriesMy cueing and sequences were always based on my VISUAL, what I was SEEING in class. Without being able to see them, I switched to internalizing everything, to FEEL rather than SEEthe at-homeapproach, new language, new sequences, shorter time frames & the FOCUS on BODY awareness RESULTED in my own body getting STRONGER (no weights by the way!), my ENERGY through the roof & my skin GLOWING, less stressed and more BALANCED from the new program So for those of you who have attended Sats Level-5 YOGA and those sweaty Sunday morning 90min SPIN classes with meYOU KNOW I absolutely loved teaching those and miss seeing you allBUT my NEW fresh FOCUS of body/mind BALANCE has taken me to a NEW LEVEL I especially want to share this with my hard-core yogi & spin fanatic friendsTry something new in 2021, open yourself up to a NEW APPROACH for the NEW WORLD we live in Join me for YOUR RESULTS... Meet Me On The Mat Let me know what happens. #empoweringwomen #2021 #ombody #onlineyoga #strongisbeautiful

BALANCING between family, friends, work & me time has been such a challenge this yearYou finally make time for one of the above then you’re too exhausted mentally or physically (or both!)for anything.Does this happen to you too? One way to gain control, get some perspective and MOTIVATION is to do a balance pose. One pose: tree, crow, side plank, headstand, handstand Yes one pose, keep reading...... By literally balancing on one arm, one leg, your hands, your head...you bring your mind into focus. To hold a balance pose for any length of time not only requires strength & stamina but even more importantly concentration (FOCUS) Once you’ve learned the physical details of the poseyou can begin to focus your eyes towards one spot and concentrate on your breath Take a pause from your daily chaosGive your body a boost & your mind some space....a moment to BALANCE Pick a pose you know how to do. BALANCE strong & steady for 8 slow breaths? PRACTICE without expectations. TRY IT when you feel like your life is completely out of whack Did it help?
