TrillYoga has long been my movement to show yoga is for everyone; the same way I think wellness should be. It also is built on a community of people who handle wellness in their own way, as we are all trying to be the best versions of ourselves. #WellnessWednesdays is my way of sharing other personalities and stories so we can all see how wellness comes in many different styles. 

So for today, I'll get myself out of the way // feel free to comment anyone else you'd like to see take part in the series. 

TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU DO //

I'm a yoga teacher and wellness educator, with a heavy focus on mental health and the founder of TrillYoga, a movement built to break stereotypes of yoga in a creative, artistic, and genuine way. 

WHAT DOES WELLNESS MEAN TO YOU/HOW DO YOU DEFINE WELLNESS? // 

Wellness is whatever makes you feel good, and doesn't hurt you. Many of the unhealthy things we do are self destructive behaviors that come from a place of us acting out other pains. Wellness is personal, and starts with an intention.  

FAVORITE WAY TO WELLNESS (WORKOUT, MEAL, ACTIVITY, ETC.) // 

Yoga. Deep breathing. Travel. Time with people who make me laugh. Nature. And lifting weights. 

WHEN DO YOU FEEL THE BEST AND WHAT IS THE BEST YOU? // 

When my dog is fed, the people I love know they are loved, and I'm making sure to meditate daily. The best me is secure, empowered, not glued to a mobile phone, traveling and loving... and possibly on an island. 

MOST IMPORTANT WELLNESS ADVICE OTHERS CAN TAKE AWAY? // 

Drink more water. Get off the internet. Read more, love more, and move your body more. Yoga is optional but highly recommended.
