@mentals.health Go follow and run up like for my friend @jillianabrownphotography —— You don't know what you are capable of till you push yourself past the limits you've imposed upon yourself! This is the place where you find your greatest healing, the most strength and learn you are capable of overcoming anything life has in store for you. This is where I have learned to shift my mindset from thinking the things we achieve are incredible, to believing the people doing them are the amazing ones. No different from any other, but have likely suffered the most and dug, climbed, ran, pushed, paddled or flipped their way back to the top. Through Perseverance – Trust- Strength- and – Determination (PTSD) these are the people who have endured and have tapped into a difficult mindset to connect with, truly utilizing their pains as the fuel that drives them from disconnected to self to disbelief of self awareness. “Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself. Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential. Never let self-doubt hold you captive." #roytbennett • • Photos: @terrancejosephkosikar • #tiredofthestigma #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #campmyway #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #emotionalwellbeing #physicalhealthismentalhealth #mec #theladyalliance #womenwhoexplore #neverstopexploring #crossfit #fliptires #mountainlife #bcmag #globalbc #mentalhealthmuscle #selfmagazine #impactmagazine #crossfitgirls #canadiangirl #strongwomen #strong #redbullcanada #fitnessgirl #pushyourself

Some things I have done in the past year that I have felt proud of, happy for and thankful. It’s been such a wild year, but I am beyond grateful that 2021 was my turning point year. I am still in shock with how it wrapped up in ways that I couldn’t have imagined and for that I want to especially thank every follower, photo editor, art director, stylist, producer, makeup artists, hairstylists and my agents amongst other team members who made this year as beautiful as it was. Thank you so much for a beautiful year and I’m so excited to see what’s in store for all of us together in 2022. - Andy xx

Strength and vulnerability are sexy 💥 Your next level may require you to do something that’s scary or uncomfortable but tapping into that vulnerability may open you up to possibilities that you couldn’t even imagine. Life can feel good but also challenge us. Make room for all of it 🤍 What are you welcoming in and releasing in this season? For me, I’m welcoming in patience and help. Patience that I don’t need to rush the process and seeking guidance on areas I’m still working on. I’m releasing judgment & comparison. What about you?

This morning I saw a TikTok of a young woman who is studying to become a personal trainer. She believed and I quote “ Body positivity is not an excuse to neglect your health” • Her video made my blood boil for a lot of different reasons and I easily could have made a much longer video response to her tiktok. • Fitness is more than just losing weight. Our biggest goal as personal trainers is to help clients feel SAFE with movement. Everyone has different experiences, traumas, goals, and wants when it comes to movement… and that is POWERFUL. • Making a connection between body positivity and claiming it means “bad health” is not only body shaming, but just plain WRONG. • Do better. LEARN. LISTEN. And expand your education to more than just a textbook.

It’s always @issarae for me. ❤️‍🔥 source: @selfmagazine

My @selfmagazine feature is LIVE! This one goes out to my fellow eczema warriors❤️‍🩹 I admit it was a bit difficult to be fully vulnerable while discussing these topics but I hope that my experiences can help some of you feel that you are not alone. https://www.self.com/story/samantha-tan-interview #SELFMagazine

FEARLESS ERA TRIVIA ✨ I took last week off because I was *so* confident Taylor would announce 1989 (Taylor’s Version) at the start of June. I was wrong! Ha! So I’m back to posting about the Fearless era. ✨ Taylor was on the cover of SELF Magazine in March 2009. The photoshoot took place in Nashville around her 19th birthday in December 2008. ✨ Swipe for the full interview that appeared in the magazine, photos, and the steps her hairstylist @kenpaves used for creating her curls. ✨ There is also a behind-the-scenes video from this photoshoot that shows Taylor toasting with Shirley Temples and wearing clip-in bangs. I can’t post it here (copyright issues bc Love Story is playing in the background) but it’s easy to find on YouTube. ✨

Naomi speaks to @selfmagazine about her next chapter in tennis, and how she’s been dealing with her mental health. Great article to read. 📷: Self Magazine

SO RAD to contribute to @selfmagazine story featuring PHYSICAL actress @fullyrosebyrne about all things 80’s aerobics.⚡️📀 “LET’S GET PHYSICAL.” As you know I’m absolutely obsessed with the 80’s, leg warmers and Rose Byrne! So I loved getting to chat with the awesome @jennyjmccoy for SELF about the benefits of aerobics training, why it’s so good for not just the body but the brain and how we are STILL doing it. Yep, aerobics classes just got a cool rebrand! So why are we talking about aerobics? Rose Byrne’s new role in PHYSICAL ( streaming now on @appletv ) is about a struggling housewife who finds release and empowerment through aerobics, becoming an 80’s fitness superstar! To play the part, Rose completed three months of aerobics training and ended up falling in love with the workout modality. Scrunchies and all! You better believe I’m SO excited to watch this series. You? Check out SELF Mags full article by clicking the link in my bio. 🙌 📀 After the interview, I looked back through all our @boxingandbubbles 90’s LIVE workout pics (even though I fully embraced the 80’s 🤷‍♀️) and they made me a bit nostalgic. SO…I think it’s time for another B&B LIVE sweat sesh to celebrate our two upcoming Summer Challenges! Our ninja @bb_nurseninja suggested we do an 80’s LIVE workout with all the epic rock songs of that genre. What do ya think? Let me know if you have any other ideas OR what your all time fave 80’s rock songs are. You guessed it…I’m taking requests! 👈 I’ll announce the upcoming challenge and LIVE dates soon so stay tuned. 📀 Oh and hope you’re enjoying our new Below the Belt Pyramid release. It’s fun and hard AF! Yep, and it will leave you feeling like a real but very alive, possibly sore mummy. 😜 Happy Monday and don’t forget to get physical today! xx #selfmagazine #self #physical #rosebyrne #appletv #workoutyourissues #80s #aerobics #boxingandbubbles #livelovelaughsweat #homeworkout #fitness #bbsquad #ninjasquad #letsgetphysical 📷 + H&MU: the one and only @davidvancephoto 🥂 Bracelets: @caliweightsbands

HOLY COW I am on the COVER of @selfmagazine 🙈. I am beyond honored to be on the cover alongside such incredible women of team USA. Thank you @selfmagazine for sharing my journey to #beijing2022. I never thought I would ever be on a cover of a magazine let alone #selfmagazine 🤍 A huge huge shoutout to @moswopr for chasing me around Europe to be a part of this special moment and the team @bullseyecommunications 🤍 Repost: @selfmagazine ・・・ Oksana Masters is a longtime veteran of the Paralympics: Over the course of her career, she’s won 10 medals across four sports (rowing, cycling, skiing, and biathlon). She’s also the fourth U.S. woman (and sixth American overall) to compete in *both* the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. You know, no big deal. But Masters’s road to Beijing has been long, and according to the athlete, oftentimes full of extreme lows and highs. “I'm struggling with [the pressure] this time really, really bad,” Masters tells SELF. “People just think in some ways that you're not human—this is what you do, you're going to win, you're going to crush it anyway. I hate comments like that.” For one of our four February Olympic and Paralympic covers, writer Macaela Mackenzie (@macaelamac) talks to Masters about what it’s like to train for both the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games, why she’s fed up with how the world views disability in sport, and more.

Sweat with SELF- Runners Series! I’m so excited to share more about what I have been up to with @selfmagazine . Last month I had the opportunity to record a series of 6 fitness videos for runners. A new video will drop every week on the SELF YouTube channel. Runners- we’ve got you covered from a proper dynamic warmup (clip seen here) to total body and everything in between. . . . Now I’m going to take a -slight- left turn and get a little emotional 😭🙏. I want to focus on what opportunities like this mean to me and make sure my gratitude is clear. I’ve been working in the fitness and running industry for nearly 2 decades and have had basically every fitness job you can think of. As a 20 year old, fresh into my college education, I became a certified personal trainer and run coach and lept into this world full of passion and fire. I have worked my butt off over the years trying to be the best student and coach that I can be. Balancing it all as a mother of 5 has been a wild ride and a journey that is uniquely my own. At the end of the day, I’m in the business of helping others achieve their dreams and build self-confidence (hello dream job) and I am so thankful. On the same note- SELF has over 1 million subscribers 🤯. While on one hand that can sound vulnerable putting myself out there like that to the masses 😳 and then on the other hand …. WOW. That’s one million opportunities to help, uplift and inspire others to take a chance on themselves and get after their own dreams. That’s the ultimate goal, right? We’ve each got a light and our own story to share with the word and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share mine. Thank you to the team at SELF for taking a chance on me❤️.

Why you should be training Hip Internal Rotation, like today😎 (deleted this post yesterday by TOTAL accident, so here it is again😂) Do you ever feel soreness & stiffness in your hips when running of lifting? How about unexplainable lower back pain? Or repeated groin or abdominal strains as an athlete? Limited hip internal rotation (IR) could be the culprit! Let’s start off with some anatomy first 🤓 The hip IRs include tensor fascia latae (TFL), some glute med and min, adductors, and pectineus, with ‘normal’ hip IR considered to be 45 degrees. Now let’s talk function. Hip internal rotation: ⭐️helps decelerate the body during changes of direction or cutting during sports. ⭐️optimizes force transfer during rotational activities in baseball, golf, tennis, etc. ⭐️allows the femoral head to remain centered in the hip socket during a squat to prevent compensation in the spine, knees, and ankles. ⭐️improves stride length during sprinting and the gait cycle. Examples of compensations typically associated with limited hip IR include overpronation of the feet, knee valgus (knock knees), reduced step length, and increased lumbar extension. Sound like you? Then here’s some mobility & strength work to improve your range! 1️⃣End Range Hip IR Eccentrics (bring your leg up to your end range, then try your best to control it down with the help of your hand) 2️⃣ Hip 90/90 Leans 3️⃣ Banded Hip IR (the towel roll under the hips helps if you have tight quads like yours truly) 4️⃣ Unilateral Hip IR with Foam Roll If your hip IR is pretty restricted, just sitting in the 90/90 position will be beneficial for you. You can even put a towel roll or block under you bum to reduce the tension. Hope these help!

Honestly just thankful! When We moved to LA two years ago I dreamed of opportunities like this ! Thank you @selfmagazine for the publications and our 6 part video series working with you all and @run_rhandi_run has been amazing! Thanks for making my dreams a reality! And thank you to everyone for all the feedback! We just getting started let’s keep grinding!

One of the biggest barriers to starting (or maintaining) an exercise program has to do with something I call fitness resistance—the reluctance to welcome fitness into our lives in the form of a sustainable workout routine or program. In my experience as a personal trainer, I’ve discovered people seem to fall into three general camps when it comes to fitness: the resisters who don’t regularly engage, the honeymooners (the on-and-off exercisers who go all in for a short amount of time), and the consistent exercisers. While our society tends to uphold people that do health and fitness “well,” I just want to emphasize that none of these groups is inherently better than the other. Everyone is doing their best. Engaging in regular exercise has so many benefits, which is why I want to help people work to overcome their fitness resistance. Through engaging in hundreds of conversations with my clients, I’ve noticed there’s one common thread behind fitness resistance, especially for people who never or rarely engage with fitness: fear. Usually, it’s fear of failure, judgment, or pain. And, of course, a person’s fitness resistance can involve more than one of these fears (or even all of them). If this is something that you notice about yourself, I challenge you to examine these three potential fears too: What’s behind your resistance, and what’s it telling you? (Read more on this in my SELF article titled “10 Ways to Build an Actually Sustainable Workout Routine You Love”) ❓❓ Do you have something that holds you back from regular exercise? Or have you worked through some of your own fitness resistance? Share your experiences in the comments. #selfmagazine #bigfitgirl #certifiedpt #ditchdietculture #consistentworkout #sustainablefitness

Star girl #IssaRae is giving us all the right organic ‘90s vibes as she covers the September issue of #selfmagazine • She opens up about marriage, setting boundaries between her personal and professional worlds and what she’s up to. In her words: “I would share so much of myself, of my friend group, and it was fun because it felt like just amongst my friends,” she says of her relationship with social media. “The more I started to seep out, the more I felt like people took ownership of me and my decisions and things that I did. That's just not something that sat right with me, and I found that I don't like to be the subject of conversations that I don't initiate.” Loving the looks? ♠️ Photography: @anndyjackson Creative direction: @avenerable Story: @letashy Styling: @jasonrembert Makeup : @joannasimkin Hair: @lovingyourhair Nails: @nailingwithnaomi Entertainment directors: @cbroday & @Sergiokletnoy — #StyleRave: The ultimate style guide — Click link in Bio to see the latest Fashion Trends, Celebrity Style, and more!

I fell in love with @mynameisjessamyn the moment I met her...10 years or so ago, at @stralayoga wo. Her practice is so calm and beautiful and she is so kind and generous and funny and awesome and on and on. We had the best before and after yoga chat and hugs and I hope more of all of that again soon. It's awesome to see her shine on the cover of @selfmagazine and lead the charge inspiring millions of people to be themselves, enjoy life and practice yoga. She also fiercely inspires millions of people to get over themselves and let go of wrong ideas that burrow into the mind and the collective consciousness. She is a great yoga teacher living in a beautiful, capable body with an expansive mind and incredible soul. Everything she does is magic. ✨ You prob know all of this because she has been steadily getting loads of positive attention in the mainstream media over the years, completely deserved. She is a best selling author, podcaster, super star, yoga teacher, awesome human, the list goes on and on of what she does so well. Just adding to the pile of adoration for her. She is so special and I hope you get to hug her someday. #jessamynstanley #selfmagazine #yogafriends #inspiration #stralayoga

What’s really going on in these pictures 😳👇🏼 In these photos, I appear to be the most healthy and “fit” that I’ve ever been in my life. But, you want the real story? I’m putting it all out there! Let’s take a look: ➡ The first picture is me after completing my first half ironman. I loved the sport, but this was the most unhealthy I’ve ever been in my life. No period, constantly cold, chronically fatigued, anxiety through the roof, always run down, in chronic pain, and poor sleep. I also constantly thought about food and exercise. I thought if I just kept focusing on counting calories and moving more, I would be happy. Turns out, I was drastically under-eating even though all the special online calorie calculators told me I wasn’t. ➡ Second photo is of me finishing my first marathon. I loved doing this with my best friend, but I was WAY overtrained and was in pain just starting the race. I was using my training as a way to negate food and hoped it would finally result in me having “control” of my body and my weight. Shortly after this, I severely injured my hip and couldn’t train for years. ➡ Last photo is of me now. I only train 30-40 minutes a day 4x a week, and focus on strength training and high intensity work. I do what my body needs, and rest when I need it. I eat 2000+ calories a day. My hormones are balanced, my sleep is good, and I see my body for what it is—and amazing home and gift that is on my side. Do I have bad days or moments? OF COURSE. But I know I perfection isn’t necessary to thrive, and health isn’t just about weight loss, dieting, or “control”. As you spend time on this platform—remember that photos don’t tell the whole story. And just because it works for someone else doesn’t mean it’s right for you. #fitness #health #bodyimage #womenshealth #selfmagazine #shapemagazine #movement #onepeloton #strongwomen #womenwholift #girlsgonestrong #realife #realtalk #hormones

#IssaRae opens up about having children in her recent interview w/ #SelfMagazine The actor, director, producer and entrepreneur also discussed married life and the final season of #Insecure among other things

Da Me too kom til Danmark, var der INGEN som nævnte Tarana Burke/@taranajaneen. Ingen nævnte hendes arbejde med ordene Me too, hendes fokus og ingen krediterede hendes kamp for Me too. SWIPE —> Da jeg som sort feminist adresserede dette blev jeg udskammet, ignoreret, udsat for gaslighting og ekskludering blandt hvide kvinder, og liberale hvide feminister. Jeg skulle endda høre på at der nu var 2 slags Me too, fordi hvide kvinder gjorde alt hvad de kunne for at stjæle Me too, og fjerne fokus. Fokus som omhandler sorte piger og unge sorte kvinder, når de udsættes for sexisme, patriarkalsk vold og voldtægt. FOKUS når der skrives om Me too: Tarana Burke er den oprindelige stifter af Me too. Tarana Burke stiftede Me too, så stemmerne som ikke høres, høres! Stemmerne blandt sorte unge kvinder, som dagligt bliver udsat for vold, voldtægt og bliver dræbt. Stemmer som strukturen, systemet og samfundet ikke hører, på grund af racisme. Tarana Burkes arbejde blev IKKE krediteret af hvide kvinder, FØR de blev krævet til at huske både Tarana Burke og hendes arbejde. Tarana Burkes arbejde bliver stadig IKKE centreret. Hvide kvinder centrerer stadig Me too som var/er det deres, OG hvor hvide kvinder stadig misbruger Me too til deres “movement” for ligestilling. Sorte kvinder bliver stadig ikke nævnt, når vi kæmper for at Tarana Burkes navn og formål med Me too, så Me too ikke bliver glemt i al den polariserende hvidhed. Sorte feministers stemmer som taler op for sorte kvinders rettigheder, bliver stadig ekskluderet, minimeret, undertrykt, og ghosted når creditering og fokus skal rettes over på Tarana Burke og sorte kvinders liv, overlevelse og ligestilling i samfundet. Hvad siger Tarana Burke? Læs artiklerne i #Time og #Selfmagazine. Kære hvide kvinder og liberale hvide feminister. Fokus! Me too er ikke en hvid anti-sexistisk bevægelse. Me too er organisatorisk grundlagt, for at redde unge sorte kvinder og sorte kvinders liv. Det var aldrig meningen at Me too skulle kuppes af hvide kvinder, så hvide kvinder kunne fortsætte deres undertrykkelse af sorte kvinder, for hvide kvinders ligestilling. ... Fokus! Mange tak! #intersektionelFeminisme #MeToo #Allyship

To be seen, truly seen, is something I think many people strive for. I've used a wheelchair for almost 2 years. I've noticed a pattern where people seem to see the wheelchair or injury before they see me. There's a significant difference when I'm not using my wheelchair. I hope there's a day where we all see the person first before anything else. It's one of my own goals. I'm guilty of seeing crutches, or knee scooters, or a brace etc. first too. It's easy to be overlooked. As humans I think we all want to be seen, worthy, have purpose. That means we all have to see each other first too I look at the girl on the left & she looks very happy, put together, & enjoying her evening. I would never think there's something physical that she is dealing with. It looks to be a very nice evening to be out & about When I look at the girl on the right she looks very happy, put together & enjoying her evening too. While she's in a wheelchair it doesn't look to be inhibiting her ability to enjoy her night out Each statement about each photo is true. As I reflect back, once I was out of the area where people know me, it went back to being overlooked. I don't like it While in Arizona my mom & I met with my mom's cousin & had dinner at, The Cheesecake Factory. Mom & I split a delicious pasta dish. We got 1 slice of lemon raspberry cheesecake to go. The outside temp was perfect. It was the perfect night to be out. We went across the street & by a fountain where kids were happily playing surrounded by palm trees 🌴 We took some pictures, sat at a table & enjoyed our dessert. The perfect way to end our night before leaving in the morning 💛 P.S I get to sleep in my own bed tonight!!!!🙌 . . . . . . #kierlandcommons #palmtrees🌴 #scottsdaleaz #scottsdalearizona #wheelchairuser #wheelchairlife #photography📷 #truehappiness #invisibleillness #invisibledisability #nightonthetown #chronicillness #chronicillnesses #heds #ehlersdanlos #ehlersdanlossyndrome #lovewhatmatters #spoonielife #spoonies #peoplefirst #spinalfusion #spinalfusionsurgery #sijoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #nervepain #selfmagazine #purposeinlife #livinglifetothefullest #livinglife #makingthemostoflife

Sometimes after I work out I’m a little sore. Sometimes I’m a little (or, honestly, more than a little) tired. But I’m always #happyneesie! So when @zappos invited me to lace up these @hoka Arahi 6’s and join their 20 Minutes to Happy campaign, of course I had to say a big happy YES. I wore my @hoka Arahi 6’s for both cross training and running (which is a true work in progress for me 🏃🏾‍♀️😅), and they inspired me to try this 20-minute leg burner that’s great for working my glutes, gives me a mental and physical boost and it makes me—you guessed it—#happyneesie! . . 20 Minutes to a Tighter (🍑) Workout - 1 min regular squats (add weights if you want a lil more of a challenge) - 1 min plié squats (gotta work those inner thighs) - 1 min squat pulses (can you tell that squats are my ❤️ language?) - 1 min lunges (I've been adding a jump in between but sometimes I keep it real and pace myself) - 1 min skater lunges or step-up knee drive jump (to get that heart rate going!) * 4 rounds - 20 min In some way every day...I resolve to move! @zappos  @hoka  @jorgeq #GotItOnZappos #ZapposPartner #HappyNeesie #LoveMyShape #PersonalTrainer #ResolveToMove

swipe>>> and take what you need🤍 as @itsclairexu said in her post the other day…this hot girl summer should be about acceptance & what makes you feel confident!! hydrate wear spf wear the damn swimsuit nourish your body move your body in ways that you like, not bc you think you need to shrink/change yourself you’re allowed to take up space go eat foods that are fun🍦 get ice cream with a friend you are more than a body!!! spend this summer enjoying outside and seeing friends and family (vaxxed), we weren’t able to do that last summer so don’t spend it on being hyper focused on your body happy friyay xo Kyra

i remember worrying so much about wearing a swimsuit on this trip when i was growing up. it was always the one week all year that i’d live in a bikini, and the same week i’d want to indulge in all of my favorite things - ice cream, bagels, donuts and bbq🥰 i realized yesterday that i no longer let it consume me…the way i look or what bathing suit i should pick to wear. and i’ll admit, i’ve had some pretty negative body image days lately, but the difference is that i have a moment of feeling down, then do my best to let it float away🌊 i realize now that there is *so* much more about this trip that’s important to me, and i don’t want to miss an ounce of it by being in my head about the way my body has naturally evolved, just like everyone else’s! a few things that help me snap out of it: ⚡️ *not* staring in the mirror ⚡️ surrounding myself with people that love me for who i am ⚡️ absolutely not owning or stepping on a scale (i haven’t weighed myself in at least 10 years, i ask the doctor not to tell me either!) ⚡️ wearing clothes that actually fit ⚡️ tuning out, muting or unfollowing people on social media that make me insecure body neutrality is a journey that is anything but linear, and that’s ok! at the end of the day, looking “hot” in a photo likely isn’t going to make the list of memories i keep. being present and enjoying my life will💖

I want to salute @letashy and her team at @selfmagazine for this powerful moment. Want to acknowledge the work of both @iamchrissyking and @decolonizing_fitness for their contributions to SELF’s Fitness advisory board. You two continue to reshape this industry, and the level of learning for practitioners like myself, and the entire community. The work of the collective community is profound and invaluable. I’ve given flowers. Now lets’s plant some seeds. Fitness practitioners and enthusiast: harassing, disrespecting other people for their human & work being highlighted on a magazine cover is the result of white supremacy’s role in fitness. Them oppressive ideologies, further an idea that being a cisgendered, white, skinny person, is the standard of optimal health. So much; that when the fitness industry is forced to engage with people who don’t fit that demographic, practitioners and enthusiast alike, project the most oppressive ideologies and narratives. Nobody asked you for your unsavory, Thomas Jefferson-adjacent opinions. Fat Black + Brown, folks have been experiencing JOY and embodying beauty and royalty for centuries. Our cultures are rich with love, light, and beauty at all levels of our divinity. The idea that a Black Woman, the Editor in Chief of a Condè Nast brand would amplify the voices of underserved communities in fitness, on the cover of a magazine for the SECOND time is the embodiment of the Future of Fitness and the progress this industry/world needs This “movement” been moving because folks have BEEN doing the work at the centers and the margins of this industry. Whether some of ya’ll embrace this or not, is up to you. Just remember; the same way people are out here judging people based off their body type; you don’t think that same energy exist when they look at the color of you and your kin’s skin when you walk inside your gym or post online? I know what side of the fence im on. And imma keep telling the stories of ALL my beautiful ass “underserved” homies.

Hi 👋🏽, yoga teacher & fitness instructor here to say I sometimes forget to stretch. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes I skip it. 🙈 Sometimes i say I’ll do it later. And I don’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know, I know. It happens. The forgetting and skipping it, I mean. The stretching not so much. Oops. Is this you too?! Peep some tips that sometimes work for me. They’re imperfect tips from an imperfect human and imperfect instructor. See link in bio or head to @selfmagazine for full article. #thesweatyprofessor #selfmagazine #stretching #teamself #stretchingroutine

Had a great time being back on stage at the selfmagazine “Taking Control of Your Financial Wellness” event with tonya.rapley amandaclayman. One element of wellness that people so rarely talk about is how your finances can impact your well-being—from your mental health (think anxiety and stress), to your relationships, to your ability to actually take care of yourself and your health in general. It was so great that SELF hosted us financial and mental health experts for advice on how to live financially well. From money-saving tips to advice on dealing with financial anxiety, we addressed how money matters impact our health, and the steps we all can take to care for our financial health. #financialliteracy #financialwellbeing #financialwellness #health #selfmagazine #thewing

@selfmagazine’s YouTube show “Try to Keep Up” just released their Powerlifters Try to Keep Up with Ballet Dancers episode!! This was such a fun, wholesome and inspiring experience, one day was spent teaching the Powerlifters ballet ^ and the other episode was shot in a gym where the Powerlifters taught the ballet dancers and we even did a mock meet at the end! All in all it built appreciation for each other’s sport and the mastery of it. Check out the full ballet episode at the link in my bio! #selfmagazine #trytokeepup #powerliftersvsballetdancers #balletpower #powerlifters #ytseries #youtube

How to get into Flying Handstand, or Flying Adho Mukha Vrksasana. (See previous post/still photo from video). This pose gives a delightful sense of the length of the pose while preparing the back line of the body for the work of getting into regular handstand. This intermediate work should not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar with “anti-gravity” work. The rotation of the body while inverted and getting into the foundational preparation (see video) can be disorienting. The Ropes on a Wall and Door Weekend Program will very soon become an on demand program. In addition to the four 3-hour sessions, there is a great deal of additional material—photos, videos and notes, expanding this into the equivalent of a 15-hour program.The registration link will appear in the bio. . . . . . . . . . . . #handstand #adhomukhavrksasana #flyinghandstand #adhomukhavrksasana #yoga #ropewall #wallropeyoga #yogakarunta #yogatherapy #alignmentyoga #yogajournal#yogainternational #wallstreetjounal #newyorktimes #yogaalliance #iayt #nypost #selfmagazine #FitnessMagazine #IDEAHealthandFitnessAssociation #IDEAHealthandFitness #Healthandfitnessmagazine #menshealthmagazine #womenshealthmagazine #shapemagazine #fitnessnews #yogawithprops

@mynameisjessamyn graces the January cover of @selfmagazine - “The problem keeping fat people out of the gym is not their fatness, it’s fat phobia.” - There have been many opinions regarding the image of health. But one thing is for sure, the world no longer wants to see cookie cutter examples or models with “ideal” bodies. All body types should be represented. - Every point of your journey should be celebrated! And not everyone desires to be a size 6. Athletes come in all shapes and sizes & movement has no parameters! - #jsculptbabe #selfmagazine #selflove
