I can’t believe it’s finally here! I have spent countless hours planning, creating, recording, editing, and putting together Essentially You: The On-Demand Wellness Program. This project is something that has been in the works for over a year now and has finally taken shape.

Why I Created Essentially You

There are a few reasons why I created this program. The first is because of YOU. I have been asked countless times if there is a way to practice with me online and/or if I have flows for specific issues. I’m always getting asked: “What neck stretches can I do for being sore?” or “I’m working on my flexibility, do you have any tips?” I have always wanted to provide answers to these questions in a way that I am proud of and can back up. I know when someone asks me a question, they are putting their trust in me for their practice and well-being. I want to give that back to you in any way that I can. So, you’ve been asking and I’m excited to give the answers through this program!

The fact of the matter is, I can’t be in more than one place at once and my energy levels can’t provide meaningful classes if I was fully booked teaching. I want to teach more. I experience a natural high when I get to connect with my students through yoga and wellness. But, my classes are sacred and beyond meaningful. I would lose a lot of that power, connection, and magic if I were to fill my schedule with in-person classes. The energy I bring to my classes matters to me and I make a point to not overlook myself so I can continuously make an impact every time I step onto the mat. I started teaching yoga for a reason and it wasn’t to burn out and hold meaningless space.

Essentially You is my way of serving the masses so I can further connect with you one-on-one. I want to give you what you want and need through yoga, meditation, and health. This program will allow me to not only give you the classes you request, but it’ll allow me to provide you with bite-sized workshops and activities to implement wellness into your own life. My goal is to make yoga and health accessible. I know that my programs and 1:1 coaching aren’t energetically or financially accessible to all. Essentially You is a way to allow you to gain knowledge and practice in ideals that I believe all should be practicing for a more wholehearted, optimal life!

How Essentially You is Different

You might be asking how Essentially You is different than other on-demand programs. Truthfully, the difference is that this one is mine. I have cultivated a community that I am damn proud of and I want to give back to those who have continuously shown up for me. I want to inspire those that are filled with doubt, I want to empower those that are in a rut, and I want you to know and feel that light and the magic that’s within. I bring that to the mat every time I teach. I bring the energy, I bring the fun, and I bring the raw and real. I tell me clients all of the time to do the things that scare them. I tell my clients to start. Start doing the things that you keep saying “one day” to and start doing the things that you desire. Life is too short not to. Having this on-demand program is something I’ve been saying “one day” to for far too long. This is me showing up, doing the hard and the good.

When I first started practicing yoga, I saw many people teaching that wasn’t in my kind of body. One that is normal-sized, with cellulite, rolls, and jiggles. This program is different in the sense that I don’t hide. I am proud of the body I have. It’s strong and carries me every single day. That is beautiful. That is inspiring. I don’t hide the fact that I can’t do every posture in my classes. I don’t hide behind cool tricks. Some days I do really dope things with my body and other days, I just want to rest. This program normalizes that. We’re here to honor and respect ourselves and I want that to be shared in the yoga world.

This program is also different because I WANT requests. I want to know what you are looking for. What yoga classes do you want? What guest speakers are you looking for? What do you want to learn and explore? I’ll either deliver or find another person who can do it better. I want this program to be about…YOU. The goal of Essentially You is to have the feel of 1:1 Coaching at your finger tips so reach out and ask questions, make requests, and connect to the community!
