cupping, recovery, self-myofascial release -

We may not all have the time or funds to take care of our bodies as much as we'd like to, or even need. But that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't do it. Convenience is luxury, but ability is a privilege. Silicone cups are a personal favorite and go-to for me when it comes to caring for my body. They're super simple to use, easy to pack up and travel with, and honestly a life-saver for me. Read below for everything I know about these bad boys and stay tuned for some tutorial videos via the gram. Follow me...

My eyes are wet. And my mind is racing.  Tear ducts activated, heart fulfilled. Let me back it up.  I've just spent the last three minutes reading an essay written by one of my dear yoga students. For those unaware, though I took a big step back from teaching yoga at local or corporate studios, I continued to fulfill my purpose in different places such as Spelman College. But check it...

I remember running away from the moon as a little girl and not because I was scared, but because she played a good game. As I walked alongside my mother from perhaps, the park, grocery story or somewhere local, I'd catch a glimpse of the moon and start sprinting down the block as hard as I could.

detox, mental health, wellness -

“Who’s with me?” read the tailed of a caption I scrolled through on my Instagram feed. “I’m in!” I recognized that comment. “I guess I’m in too.” It was a passive thought, yet somehow I uttered the words to no one. Here’s the post for context. I looked at the time. It was 9:59 exact and the 36 hour cleanse was set to begin at midnight and last all through Tuesday noon o’clock. “I’ve got time,” I thought while, I’ll admit, crushing a bag of Doritos. (Balance guys). At the moment, I was nowhere near hungry and the thought of...
