This and that. Understanding the polarities that exists within all of us. I woke this morning thinking, boy I really want to workout, but then I heard a little voice inside me saying, No you don't, and then another voice fighting back saying, Yes I do. Back and forth the voices in my head went bouncing from, No you don't to Yes I do, NO YOU DON'T!!!! The war was lost and my workout did not happen. Immediately after the battle was won, I became aware of another voice, the voic...Continue reading

Hello smiling hearts family. I just sent out an email with our updated procedures for the next two weeks. If you did not receive an email please pm me.

Today I've been thinking a lot about resiliency. I am no stranger to resiliency. I've had to be resilient to get through some extremely difficult times in my life. People have praised my resiliency, strength and will to keep pushing forward. I wear resiliency like a badge of honor and praise others for their resiliency in the face of their own struggles, saying things like "wow you are so resilient". But I wonder, does resiliency run out? What if I don't want to be resilient ...anymore, then what? What if I don't want to be strong and right now what I really need to do is crumble and not feel like I have to succeed and pull through given these extraordinary circumstances? I've always relied on myself to get through life, with little support from others. But now things are different. I have support around me and I don't want to lead anymore. I want others to step in, whose resiliency is not depleted and their strength is something I can lean on, be propped up by so that I can allow myself to feel the weight and brunt of what this pandemic has brought into my life or should I say, has taken away from my life. To heal, they say you have to name it to claim it. If I had to name it I would say that my ability to be resilient, put on a brave face, a happy smile and walk with a spring in my step has temporarily been extinguished. If you ask if I am fine, instead of saying yes and pretending that things are good, my answer is no I'm not okay and things are not good right now. To deny this is to deny my own feelings, to bury the pain which at some point will rear it's dirty little head in relationships, low self-esteem or self-worth. No, it's better to face the reality of how you feel and be bold and say when things are shit, they are shit and stop pretending they're not if this is how you feel. What is needed right now is not resiliency but compassion, self-compassion, kindness and gentleness to the self. If anyone else is feeling like this then maybe my words will help you. This might be a time to be gentle with yourself. If you are used to being a top performer, go-getter, Type A and self-proclaimed perfectionist you will struggle more then most. Lean into the reality of what is, expect less, do less and ride the wave of whatever is next to come because there will certainly be more to come before this is all said and done. Living with uncertainly, fear, anxiety, low mood and the whatever else might be coming your way is hard. Reach out. Talk. Be honest with yourself about how you are feeling and be honest with others. Together, we will get through this. Right now though I need to honor myself, my feelings and lean on others.

Good morning smilers. It's been one week since our orders to shut and we wanted to check in and see how everyone is holding up. We will see many of you of Monday as we pivot for the time being to opening the studio for your own individual workouts. You will have lots of space to come to your thing and let's hope that we can return to group classes soon. Please be gentle with yourself. Find compassion for yourself and its okay to feel like you are not as productive or motivat...ed as you usually are. If you are feeling anxious, fearful or notice low mood, lean in and try not to fight or resist yourself. It's okay to feel because we are experiencing something that is protracted with uncertainty. Most importantly if you are struggling to cope maybe this is a good time to reach out for some mental health support. Our smiling hearts are always here for you and our family will together again soon.

Yoga for the inflexible, intimidated, and total beginner If you have always wanted to try a yoga class but are not bendy and afraid that you won’t be able to do any of the poses, we want you. If you are interested in trying a class but feel anxious, uncertain, and downright scared to be the only one not getting the poses or afraid you will fall over, WE WANT YOU!... If you have tried a beginner class somewhere else only to discover that even the beginner class felt like too much, we definitely want you. If you have no desire to wear LULULEMON we want you! (little joke here). We offer yoga before the yoga, a kind of pre-yoga where our mindset is EVERYONE can feel successful in this practice.

Our teachers practice from a trauma-informed lens, provide modifications to suit everyone’s needs and abilities but most importantly show you that yoga is more than trying to get the perfect yoga butt. Our mental and thereby our physical health is improved by a regular yoga practice and we are here to truly make YOGA accessible and available to YOU!

The Power Of Resistance by Donna Hutchinson, M.Ed Counseling Psychology (3rd year) You are probably familiar with the expression, what we resist persists. There can be a tremendous amount of power in this statement. For the last thirty years of my professional fitness career I have thoughtfully listened to many people’s stories of resistance, their struggle to make changes in their lives stick, their challenges, and yes, sometimes even their self-acclaimed excuses. The po...Continue reading
