MIND. BODY. SOUL.
Written by contributing blogger, Audrea Laffely. Our days are busy. We have demanding jobs, children and families that need our support, friends that we want to see and a million other responsibilities that pop up and fill our days. After spending so much time with all the to-dos, it’s sometimes hard to find the motivation to ...
Equinox, yes the pretty gym (as some people call it), has a spin class called "the Pursuit." When I first learned about it, I figured, well if I love spin, and I've done at least a dozen classes at this point, the Pursuit, shouldn't be anything out of my reach. I can do that. No ...
Written by Blogging Contributor, Sonia Sahota. When Yoga was at its highest peak of becoming the hottest “trend” where everyone thought it was hip or cool to participate in, I personally was not a fan. I never understood the importance of lying on a mat doing different poses with your body especially since I was not ...
As the new year is upon us it's easy to think...A new year. A fresh bloom and start. A new you. But it's a time to not just make resolutions again, but a time to evaluate how far you've come over the past year, and few years. Perhaps it was a rough and challenging one ...
Written by blog contributor, Audrea Laffely. I don’t know about you but the holiday season always finds a way of taking me off my normal, healthy path.

Let's be real. Working out is way more fun when you have on an outfit you feel good in. There is something about tossing on a new pair of leggings that makes you do the extra 15 minutes of cardio...or is that just me? So what do I have in my closet that keeps me jazzed ...
Sometimes even a cup of coffee isn't enough. You are trudging along, staring at that endless To-Do list thinking, where do I start? Let's back up. Not every morning is easy, but sometimes if we push ourselves we can make that morning kick ass. Wake up and put in a minimum of 30 min of work out ...
Lacking motivation to get to the gym? It happens. Struggling every week? Stop complaining and do something about it. Change your perspective. Focus on the attainable. Set goals to reach. Small milestones that keep you motivated each week or month. For example, if you have a weight goal to reach, break into chunks so that it is more feasible, ...
It's summer. And before you know it (don't hate me) the holidays will be here. We're constantly on the go...we're constantly traveling. We're constantly busy and need to be able to stay in shape without the fuss and muss. Whether I'm running to a meeting and only have 30 minutes in the AM (at home), at ...
Time management. Since we were kids, we were told we need to learn to manage our time: do our homework, go to volleyball practice, yearbook club, and wake up for school without being late. Then college rolled around. We were on our own. No parents or siblings to say "get up!" We had to push ourselves ...
