We were all designed to move. breathe. be.

Welcome to Move. Breathe. Be.

Whether you’re new to Move. Breathe. Be. or have been with me for a while, WELCOME.

I founded Move. Breathe. Be. to be a movement about movement—of body, of breath, of being in the present moment.

We as humans are born to move, to breathe, to be present.

Yet many of us spend so much of our time senselessly reliving the past or fearfully anticipating the future, often missing the very magic right in front of our eyes, in the here and now.

Or at least I know I lived like that for far too long.

Over the last two decades, I’ve been a serious yoga practitioner and then teacher, a beneficiary of therapy, and most recently a student and now trained coach. Influenced by these years of discipline, introspection, and inner work, I offer yoga teaching and mentoring, professional coaching and consulting, and heartfelt writings and other resources that encourage our turning inwards for moments of self-reflection and self-awareness in order to consciously choose how we interact with the world around us.

Over time, the belief is that we become more comfortable with the truth that we are enough—simply by being.

The Benefits of Yoga and Coaching

  • Both connect you to your body…your breath…and your mind (chatter).

  • Both connect you to your purpose…your values…and your inner wisdom.

  • Both help you unstick…and unswirl.

  • Both move you forward along your path.

Both work with energy in motion…which is essentially what we are!

Move. Breathe. Be. is not about perfection, but rather about progression. I invite you to explore your journey of self-care and well-being with curiosity and inquisitiveness, rather than with judgement or regret.

 
 

Experience through yoga what it’s like to move. breathe. be.

I offer well-rounded, intelligent, and thoughtful yoga classes designed to move our bodies and breath and to practice sitting still.

We can practice together in group classes, one-on-one, and in a corporate setting.

 
 
“Keep in mind that, when you practice yoga, you’re not practicing to improve yourself. You are perfect. The practice is there to help you know that.”

I offer professional coaching for those seeking to have a better relationship with themselves.

We’ll practice slowing down to gain clarity and confidence, to focus and decide, and ultimately to take bold action and move forward.

Explore through coaching your natural design to move. breathe. be.

On perfectionism
On perfectionism

I’ve struggled over the years with playfulness. I believe we are all innately playful, yet somehow I’ve allowed that natural tendency to be suppressed, year after year, due to my greater struggle—perfectionism.

I used to think perfectionism was a badge of honour. Oh, how I was wrong! Rather, it’s been one of my greatest sources of weakness over the years.

I’ve gone to great lengths to combat this, particularly over these past nine months.

I’m close…closer than I’ve been.

On Spring cleaning
On Spring cleaning

Tomorrow marks the Spring Equinox for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere—when day and night are of equal length with the sun crossing the equator, promising longer days and signaling rebirth all around us. In many ways, this time period feels like the beginning of the new year, providing an opportunity to reflect more so than the busy, distracting holiday season that is the end of the calendar year.

Just as trees and plants bloom and birds and butterflies emerge during Spring, we, too, come out of the introverted winter, stepping into a new light and new life. Especially given the past year and the trials and tribulations of the pandemic, with new hope on the horizon given vaccinations and promising news from countries like Israel, this Spring is as much a time to reflect and (re-)set intentions as it is to connect with others and put our contemplation of the past months (and year) to work.

On balance
On balance

Our bodies are very smart. They’ll spotlight A LOT for us if we just accept the invitation to look inwards and observe.

  • Are we (or are we not) sleeping well?

  • Are we eating more (or less) than we normally might?

  • Are we getting headaches more frequently than before?

These bodily indicators often are signs of stress, which is a normal part of the human experience. In fact, the Cleveland Clinic defines stress as “a normal reaction that the body has when changes occur, resulting in physical, emotional and intellectual responses”. So good news—we don’t need to stress out about, well, stress, nor do we need to be ruled by it, either. That said, this is often harder said than done.

Why do we let stress take control?

Consider buying me a cup of coffee on the MBB Ko-fi (read: coffee) page (get it?). While I’d love to see you in a yoga class or coaching session soon, I know you might prefer to engage with the community by way of cozying up with a cup of joe and my blog posts each week. I’m deeply touched that my musings impact you and hope to provide even more content in the near future!
