PILATES, YOGA, BARRE, AND SOLIDCORE!!!

Hi girlies! lets talk wellness. I love working out and moving my body so naturally I have been a gym girlie, to a pilates girlie, to a yoga girlie... ive done it all! I swear lol. trying all these different workouts out gave me the best workout routine ever!

3 solid core classes/week

1 hot vinyasa yoga/week

1-2 at home pilates inspired workout/week

SolidCore is my FAVORITE. it's a Pilates inspired workout that gives you one of the hardest challenges in your life! I can definitely say after 5 classes you feel super strong and your body just feels so much better! since its a core focused workout, ive noticed a huge decrease in bloating and overall helped me achieve toned stomach, arms, and legs! it is most definitely a lot harder than pilates!

when I was in my yoga era, I fell in love with vinyasa. basically a practice of yoga that involves a continuous flow. my local yoga studio, offers a HIIT Vinyasa in a 99 degree room. its the best strength building class that will make you sweat and stretch at the same time.

to keep the consistency, I do a couple workouts at home in between my classes. ive done barre and traditional pilates at a studio but ive noticed that those workouts can easily be done any home AND WE ALL KNOW THESE CLASSES ARE EXPENSIVE ASF!!! so I barre/pilates inspired classes at home! these are some of my favorite videos to follow along! I promise they work just as great!

I don’t believe we should carry backupplans in life’s suitcase—they’re too easy to unpack like living a life in yoga pants, so comfortable our hips spreadinto new timezones...

Yin-Yang Theory of Taoism: The Relationship Between Human Consciousness and Life/Death

In Taoism, the concept of human consciousness and its relationship to life and death is intricately tied to the philosophy of Yin-Yang. Let's delve into how this ancient view of the world sheds light on the mysteries of existence.

1-Yin-Yang as Complementary Forces

According to Taoist belief, the universe is governed by the interplay of two fundamental forces: Yin and Yang.

Yin represents darkness, passivity, and the feminine aspect, while Yang symbolizes light, activity, and the masculine aspect. These forces are not opposing but complementary, together forming a harmonious whole.

2-Life and Death as Dynamic Processes

Life and death are seen as natural phases within the eternal cycle of existence, analogous to the interplay of Yin and Yang. Life emerges from the balance of these forces, constantly flowing and evolving.

Death, then, is not viewed as an end but as a transition, a return to the cosmic harmony from which all things arise.

3-Consciousness as a Manifestation of Tao

In Taoism, consciousness is understood as a manifestation of the underlying unity of existence, often referred to as Tao.

Human consciousness arises from the dynamic interplay of Yin and Yang within the individual, reflecting the universal balance of forces.

4-Immortality of the Tao

While individual forms may come and go, Taoist philosophy suggests that the essence of consciousness, like the Tao itself, is immortal and transcendent.

By aligning with the natural rhythms of Yin and Yang, one can attain a deeper understanding of existence and achieve a state of spiritual enlightenment.

5-Harmonizing with Nature

Central to Taoist practice is the idea of harmonizing with the flow of nature. By embracing both the light and the dark aspects of life, individuals can cultivate a sense of inner peace and balance. In this way, the fear of death dissipates, replaced by a profound acceptance of the cyclical nature of existence.

The Yin-Yang theory of Taoism offers a holistic perspective on the relationship between human consciousness and the relation between life and death.

By recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and embracing the natural ebb and flow of existence, individuals can attain a deeper sense of purpose and tranquillity in the face of life's mysteries.

Being almost thirty looks like this (and Suki the cat chillin in the background). -No makeup (because my skin is too sensitive for it lol), -allowing my ego moments to share my muscles because thats what 10 years of consistent bouldering looks like and I guess its fun to let them shine here n there lol - Being back in therapy with someone who specializes in trauma for about...5ish months now? - Being more present in life and less active on social media for over 5 months now. (not completely absent but not finding myself scrolling or watching stories for up to hours sometimes, and posting all the time for a dopamine boost--- I post here and there to share about people I love, allow my creativity to flow through sharing my photography along with stories about my hardships and my wins -Being ALMOST DONE with getting my yoga teacher certification (i'm nervous as hell about the idea of teaching my first class but know how that is supposed to be a part of the process) -MEDITATING regularly -Prioritizing both my mental, physical, and nutritional health. -Prioritizing good sleep. -Reading more about what I find meaningful/excited about -Holding space for gratitude regularly - allowing myself to ask for help/what I need. -Having to see the doctor more often because my hormones are crazy at this age -Being a positive role model/influence to younger people in my life. -For once in my life, realizing living with a partner who is also my best friend is actually something I want in my near future -Lot's of forgiveness/letting go of what was not serving me -Quality > quantity -Contentment -Minimalism -Fun/play -Balance - Humility
