Ladies, let’s be real—our hormones are running the show, whether we like it or not. One day, we’re feeling like Superwoman, crushing our workouts and moving thru our day like a total boss. A week later, we’re debating if lifting the TV remote is an acceptable form of exercise. But what if I told you that your menstrual cycle holds…
In March 2020 I received the great honor of being nominated for the YWCA Health and Fitness Award. I actually WON the award thanks to the heart-felt testimonial given here by a yoga participant of mine – Marcy Paul. I’d like to THANK her from the bottom of my heart for sharing her experience.
