A meaningful life isn’t one without difficult emotions. Sometimes, joy is found in the middle of it all: sadness, anxiety, grief, uncertainty….
A good life isn’t measured by how happy we feel, but one where there is room for all of the emotions.
Last day to sign up for my 2 private fitness groups.
We start tomorrow! 💪🏼

Never underestimate the power of fb! I think Niki has a job already, woohoo! So I’m gonna put this in here just in case I can get my other daughter a better job.
My daughter is studying to be a dentist, she’s in her 3rd year getting her bachelor. She now works at the co op in spruce but for minimum wage ($15 an hour is not enough specially since she drives almost daily to university in Edmonton)
If you know of someone looking to hire a super responsible kid, please let me know. Same, after school hours and/or weekends.
She is in the autism spectrum (Asperger’s) so don’t expect someone super bubbly like me or Niki, she is serious, but she is very very responsible, incredibly smart and mature. She has around almost 5 years of costumer service. Plus she drives.
Thank you in advance! Gracias!

Also, my daughter is looking for work 😊
She’s in grade 12 so she can only work after school.
She has experience working at the front desk.
She’s available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Also Saturday morning.
Thank in advance. Gracias!
I’m also doing another private fb group 😊
This one has exercises and challenges for people that have been working out for a while.
Intermedium/more advanced, while the other group is for beginners.
$30 for the month of September, $50 for 2 months so from September 1st to November 1st ($20 for 1 month, $40 for 2 if you are currently doing the August challenge)
Here is an example of what you can expect on this group, mostly they are the same workouts I do at the studio. They are not polished or edited, just real people doing hard work.
Message me if you are interested. 💪🏼
Hola 👋🏼
I’m doing a BEGINNERS ONLY private fb group to start in September 😊
This is for women who haven’t worked out in a long time or ever, for those who want to get fitter and healthier but don’t know where to start.
If this is you, dm me. The cost is $30 for the whole month of September or $50 for 2 months so September 1st to November 1st.
Easy to follow videos with exercises you can do anywhere and with modifications.
For instance this exercise: SIDE TO SIDE STEP
Option 1: just body weight
Option 2: add a band around the ankles
Option 3: travel front and back
Option 4: add dumbbells
I will give you all the options and you can decide which one fits better for you.
Message me if you are interested.
I didn’t know that Dolly Parton was the first person that said: “if you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours” 💖
I love this saying and I use it often myself. I too believe that a simple act of kindness can change a heavy moment.
Today I wanna share an old video of mine, beside me is my very good friend Sarah. The song is called “I smile” by Kirk Franklin, it is a gospel song to encourage people to trust God instead of letting hard times dictate their feelings.
This was the cooldown song of that class, during Covid times. I mixed my passion for yoga, for dancing and for God all together because yes, you can practice yoga, you can dance and be a Christian all at the same time.
Anyway, I hope you like the video and I hope you find a reason to smile today. 😊
Much love! Bendiciones! 🙏🏼
Just in case someone needs to hear these words today. 😊
RIP Dolly Parton

The rule is simple: show up today so that you can show up again tomorrow.
Here’s what getting strong will do for you:
1. Preserves and builds muscle because muscle is the organ of longevity.
2. Boost metabolism. More muscle equals burning more calories even at rest.
3. Strengthens bones. Reducing fracture risk and keeping you active for decades.
Build strength now, protect your future so you can keep doing the things you love. 💕
